It would be nice when dealing with a large class such as mine to be able to have an index at the top of the "Classmate Profiles" section so that you could jump to a last name. For example:


A B C D E F G H


A
Abel, Ken
Abelene, Cathy
Apple, Fiona


B
Baker, Tracy
Buellman, Chris
Ball, Tom

C
Cushman, Steve
Cookie, Monster
Candy, Man


I hope that makes sense...

Let me run this by the group next week. For most sites it's pretty easy to follow an alphabetized list, but I can see what you mean in your case with this many Classmates. Maybe we could only put the in the alphabet clicks if the Class exceeds a set # of Classmates. We wouldn't bet able to get to this for quite some time -- appreciate the recommendation.

I too, agree! That is one of the suggestions I have had repeatedly, since our class has well over 800 classmates. An alphabetical letter choice would be most helpful.

We're going to show the alphabet clicks whenever a class has more than 300 Classmate Names.

This feature will be at the top of the Manage Classmates list "class_admin_members_list.cfm" as well as the Classmate Profiles "class_classmates.cfm" page, right?

My class isn't as big as 800, but if the limit is 300, my class barely meets the requirement at about 318.

It will still list classmates by LAST NAME and not MARRIED NAME, right? Since it now lists the classmates by LAST NAME, it probably won't change.

Yes it will be on top of both pages. No, the way the Classmates are listed will not change from what you see now.

Hey Brad just going through my open thread doing followups. This feature never seemed to manifest itself as I described. Was it shelved? All I see is:

Show by: A-Z Last Updated: 202 Newest Members: 202 Latest Comments: 22

Which really doesn't match the whole "jump to a name" feature I described.

Thanks as always,

So in my pretend world, I clicked on C, Dave. Just wondering... have you heard from Monster Cookie & Man Candy? Will they be attending an upcoming reunion? Cool

We just had our 30th and on Friday night those guys showed up around 2 or 3 AM and rocked the house.

Lost of threads and lots of ideas. Wow this one goes back 5 years! In some other thread, at some other time, it was decided to keep this simple rather than put a whole alphabet across the top. You can just click the search button and enter any 3 characters and the names will jump on the screen right before your very eyes. Smile This same feature was also implemented on the Manage Classmates page in your admin.
