A-Z Filters Changelog

This release resolves several issues with the A-Z Entry Filter widget, including conflicts with searches and with other Views on the same page.

Note: A-Z Filters now requires PHP 7.4 and WordPress 6.5 or newer.

🐛 Fixed

• Views with the "Hide View data until search is performed" setting enabled stayed empty after a visitor clicked a letter in the A-Z Entry Filter widget.
• Issues when filtering by the Created By (User) field:
  • Number (0-9) links showed every entry instead of only entries created by users whose display name starts with a number;
  • Accented and non-Latin letters were not matched correctly.
• The Search Bar widget could return incorrect results on Views that also use the A-Z Entry Filter widget.
• Letter filtering could be applied more than once when a page displayed multiple Views.

💻 Developer Updates

• Replaced GravityView hooks deprecated in version 2.55 with their current equivalents.

This update improves compatibility with PHP 8.2 or newer.

🐛 Fixed

• PHP 8.2 deprecation notices.

This release addresses a minor issue with the A-Z Filters widget.

🐛 Fixed

• Typo in a localization string used inside the A-Z Filters widget.

This release adds the ability to filter entries by the "Created By" field.

🚀 Added

• Support for filtering entries using the "Created By" field.

This update brings a small yet important addition—a missing icon for the GravityView widget!

🚀 Added

• Added the missing GravityView widget icon.

• Added: Support for filtering by the Greek alphabet 🇬🇷

• Fixed: In Divi and Kadence themes, clicking a filter would not filter results (it would scroll the page instead)

• Fixed: Issues with plugin auto-updates that was introduced in version 1.2

Developer Updates:

• Fixed: Using the deprecated gravityview_blacklist_field_types filter results in an incorrect list of fields that are available for filtering as well as a PHP error notice. (Note: please use the gravityview_blocklist_field_types filter instead!)

• Added: Support for filtering by the Polish alphabet 🇵🇱
• Added: Support for filtering by the Ukrainian alphabet 🇺🇦
• Added: When filtering by a letter, the webpage will scroll back to the clicked link
• Modified: Localized numbers will be used for links instead of always 0-9. For example, in Bengali, the URL will now show ?letter=০-৯
• Improved: Multiple A-Z Entry Filter widgets may be added to the same View using different languages
• Fixed: Support for custom collation overrides in situations where accented letters are shown in a filter for the other (for example, L and Ł in Polish).
• Updated translations

Developer Updates:

• Removed legacy query overrides in favor of exclusively relying on GF_Query. This may, in theory, affect some custom code. If it does, it will stop filtering values. If that happens, please let support@gravitykit.com know.
• Added: gravityview/az_filter/collation filter to override collation for the letter comparison query. This is helpful when the database interprets multiple letters as the same due to collation. For example, in Polish, L and Ł. This functionality requires Gravity Forms 2.4.3 or newer.
• Added: gravityview/az_filter/anchor filter to modify the anchor ID added to the end of the letter filter links. Return an empty string to remove the functionality.
• Deprecated: gravityview_blacklist_field_types filter. Use gravityview_blocklist_field_types instead.
