Just putting together a directory for a client and I can't guarantee this will work for everyone but I found a workaround that works for me as follows:

1. Create a dummy menu link to the component - Link > Component> Alpha Content (make sure it is published)
2. Create another menu link but this time to Component Item - Link Component Item> Name of whatever you called the Component Menu Item in step 1
3. Unpublish the dummy link in step 1.

Voila!

I tried and I sow this doesn't work in my case.

I finally realized that here alphabetic bar stays when I leave alphacontent page to go to a static one.
The bar disappers if I go to a page linked to another content kind, such as gallery, a faq section or to a blog.

I opened a post about this as well. The alpha bar is an issue, but so are the modules. They are appearing everywhere also.

Hello,

I resolved this same problem today, i will tell you guys and tell me if worked.

1.Go to Joomla Administration
2.Go to Mambots --&gt; Site Mambots
3.Select AlphaContentBot
4. In the right column there is an &quot;Exclude ID Content&quot;
5. Just put the ID's of the contents that you don't want that appear the alphabetic,rating bar,directory.(separe wiith &quot;,&quot; if you have more than one content.

Example: 17,12,13,52,36.

6. Go be happy

It's seems to me that it works.
But only one thing i corrected in mambot in file alphacontentbot.php i replaced $row-&gt;id with $row-&gt;sectionid because i think it is more usefull to exclude sections than some articles content.

And it should be mentioned that in previous version ALPHACONTENT such function in mambot was not available.

Thanx, that helped a lot.

Hi Guys,

putting in exclude id s is no option for me, as I've got so many pages.
But, looked into the latest version of the bot though and found the solution:

In the file alphacontentbot.php version 3.0.4 on line 60 it says:

if ( $option=='com_alphacontent' || !isset( $row-&gt;title_alias ) || in_array ( $row-&gt;id, $listexclude ) ) return;

I've replaced it by

if ( $option!='com_alphacontent' || !isset( $row-&gt;title_alias ) || in_array ( $row-&gt;id, $listexclude ) ) return;

which should be it anyway, since if the option isn't com_alphacontent, you want to return...

Hope it is usefull for others and perhaps could be included in an update?

Kind regards,

Nathalie

Finally the solution has arrived!!!
Thank you a lot Nathalie!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Nathalie. This solution will be integrated in the next package.

The code in my bot was slightly different (no &gt;??), so using the fix as-is broke my site. If this happens to you, just replace the == with != and see if that works.
