For the titles classifier could you post the html surrounding the letters on list or perhaps a screenshot to me off list?

As for the format statement:

You currently have:

<td valign=top>[link][icon][/link]</td><td valign=top>[srclink][srcicon][/srclink]</td><td valign=top>[highlight]{Or}{
[dls.Title],Untitled}[/highlight]<i><small>{If}{[Date],<br>{If}{[NumPages],<br>_textnumpages_[NumPages]}{If}{[Source]</small></i></td>

Lets simplify understanding this problem by removing the parts of the format statement that don't need to won't change.
The following start and end segments of the format statement dont need to change.
<td valign=top>[link][icon][/link]</td><td valign=top>[srclink][srcicon][/srclink]</td><td valign=top>
<i><small>{If}{[Date],<br>{If}{[NumPages],<br>_textnumpages_[NumPages]}{If}{[Source]</small></i></td>

That leaves us with:
[highlight]{Or}{[dls.Title],Untitled}[/highlight]

We want to display [title] metadata only when we are displaying a bookshelf. Its possible to use the [numleafdocs] formatstring item to test whether we are looking at a bookshelf or not. See http://greenstone.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/How_to_format_the_output_of_your_collection for more information about formatstring items.

We can use a formatstring if statement like {If}{[numleafdocs],[dls.Title], ... } to display [dls.Title] metadata if [numleafdocs] is set to a value. If [numleafdocs] is not set to a value the if statement will display whats placed where the ... is. In your case, you want [highlight]{Or}{[dls.Title],Untitled}[/highlight]

which gives:

[highlight]{If}{[numleafdocs],[dls.Title],{Or}{[dls.Title],Untitled}}[/highlight]

and a final format statement of

<td valign=top>[link][icon][/link]</td><td valign=top>[srclink][srcicon][/srclink]</td><td valign=top>[highlight]{If}{[numleafdocs],[dls.Title],{Or}{[dls.Title],Untitled}}[/highlight]<i><small>{If}{[Date],<br>{If}{[NumPages],<br>_textnumpages_[NumPages]}{If}{[Source]</small></i></td>

or something like it.

Hi all,
I have a collection that's based on dls and dc metadata sets. The titles classifier is built on the dls.AZlist metadata.
My problem is the A-Z letters are not active links so that i can browse through the list by clicking on a particular letter to see documents starting with that letter. How can i correct this?

Secondly, i have a subject classifier built on dls.subject & keyword metadata. Here is it's format statement:
<format>

<td valign=top>[link][icon][/link]</td><td valign=top>[srclink][srcicon][/srclink]</td><td valign=top>[highlight]{Or}{[ dls.Title],Untitled}[/highlight]<i><small>{If}{[Date],<br>{If}{[NumPages],<br>_textnumpages_[NumPages]}{If}{[Source]</small></i></td>

</format>
With the above format statement, the Book shelves displayed when one clicks on Subjects are 'Untitled', although the books within the book shelves have the correct title.
If i change the dls.title (highlited in the above format statment) to [title], then the titles of the book shelves show appropriately but the books within the book shelves now have incorrect titles.
Where could the problem be??

Thanks
