The code below brings back this error…
That’s normal, you need single quotes for tags in tags. Please try
<!-- alpha list display A-Z-->
<txp:variable name="currentcategory" value='<txp:category />' />
<txp:variable name="currentcategory" />
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data='SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = ''books'' AND Category2 LIKE ''<txp:variable name="current category" />%'' ORDER BY alpha'

<a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:section />/<txp:variable name="currentcategory" />/?alpha={alpha?}">{alpha?}</a>
</txp:etc_query>
<!-- output alphalist and get articles ids when necessary -->
<txp:etc_query globals="_GET" data='<txp:variable name="alphalist" />'
query="//a[text() = '{?alpha|A}']"
replace="&=<span class='active'>{?alpha|A}</span>"

{//ul}

Re: etc_query: all things Textpattern
Weird, it’s working for me… could it come from somewhere else? What if you comment out this code, wrapping it in <txp:hide>...</txp:hide>?

Re: etc_query: all things Textpattern
Excluding other code.
This works:
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data="SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = 'books' AND Category2 LIKE 'drama' ORDER BY alpha"
>This doesn’t:
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data="SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = 'books' AND Category2 LIKE ''<txp:variable name="current category" />%'' ORDER BY alpha"
>Is there a working example of a variable txp or any other type that I can pass through with etc_query?

Hold on. It may be coming from somewhere else just a sec.

Re: etc_query: all things Textpattern
This (and delete the space in “current category”)?
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data='SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = "books" AND Category2 LIKE ''<txp:variable name="currentcategory" />%'' ORDER BY alpha'
>Edit: you can also replace <txp:variable name="currentcategory" /> with {?currentcategory} here:
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data="SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = 'books' AND Category2 LIKE '{?currentcategory}%' ORDER BY alpha"

Re: etc_query: all things Textpattern
Still no go on my side.
By just inserting this {?currentcategory}
data="SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = 'books' AND Category2 LIKE '{?currentcategory}%' ORDER BY alpha"The resulting sql call is below and the variable is not parsed, is there another step to that type of variable?
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data="SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = 'books' AND Category2 LIKE '{?currentcategory}%' ORDER BY alpha"And the other version below still fails silently will no sql call happening at all when I look at page source, and no error (as the error above was from somewhere else and has been fixed)
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li" name="alphalist"
data='SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = "books" AND Category2 LIKE ''<txp:variable name="currentcategory" />%'' ORDER BY alpha'

Re: etc_query: all things Textpattern
ok, let’s see step by step:
<txp:variable name="currentcategory" value="drama" />
<txp:etc_query wraptag="ul" class="pull-right breadcrumb" break="li"
data="SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(SUBSTRING(Title,1,1)) AS alpha FROM textpattern WHERE Status = 4 AND Section = 'books' AND Category2 LIKE '{?currentcategory}%' ORDER BY alpha" />outputs for me a A-Z list of drama books, can you confirm?

Nope it outputs all categories. But if I type replace ‘{?currentcategory}%’ with ‘drama’ it outputs just an A-Z list of drama books.
