Greeting everybody. I bought this great component few days ago, and I like it so much. I made a lot of changes and customizations and so far it looks great with little or no problem.

I would, however, like to create a custom page for every alphabet letter from A to Z that only lists the pictures or photos of the artists. when I click any letter, say A, we see this page that list the names of the artists, the image of the album, and the number of songs belongs to that album. That looks great, but I would like that page lists only the pictures and names of those artists in a grid layout, and nothing else.

If that is difficult or not possible, I can create a custom page for every letter and add photos manually, then I can create menu links that points to those pages. But when we click the letters on the letter bar, I want the links to point to my new custom pages, not the default one. In other word, where can I find the links of the letters of the alphabet bar? so I can change the links and point them to my new custom pages. I want it to be like this link bellow which is a website that doesn't use joomla, but look how the artists pictures are in a grid layout everytime you click any letter from A to Z. http://www.djsomali.com/singers-letter-a.html

Thank you and I apologize if I wrote too much.

    hello Kalif,

    basically you need to create a new layout (or adapt the current one)
    your starting point is the file /views/artists/tmpl/detailed.php and construct your page there

    otherwise, if you want to change the links, these are created in the /helpers/helper.php page

    good luck and good work! :)

    I don't want to mess up with those templates you mentioned. I will just disable the letter bar and create another one from scratch. Thanks
