Add algorithm label to list of algorithms

Question

I'm using the classicthesis package along with the algorithmic package.

I'm trying to get the list of algorithms to look the same as the list of figures/tables etc., but cant find a way to make it appear as:

Algorithm 1.1        First Algorithm
Algorithm 1.2        Second Algorithm
Algorithm 1.3        Third Algorithm

Instead it appears as:

Figure 1.1        First Algorithm
Figure 1.2        Second Algorithm
Figure 1.3        Third Algorithm

Any ideas?

edit #1: I've tried the following from this suggested post

\makeatletter
\let{\oldl@algocf}{\l@algocf}
\renewcommand{\l@algocf}[2]{\oldl@algocf{Algorithm #1}{#2}}
\makeatother

But that gives a number of errors beggining with:

! Missing control sequence inserted.
<inserted text>
\inaccessible
l.276 \let{
\oldl@algocf}{\l@algocf}
Please don't say `\def cs{...}', say `\def\cs{...}'.

I'm using the following algorithm packages:

\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algpseudocode}

One comment on that post suggested replacing l@algocf with l@algorithmcf but that gives similar errors

edit #2: As requested heres a simplified example that produces the listing without the algorithm label, note you need classicthesis.sty and classicthesis-config.tex in the build directory, they can be found here. A sample pdf produced with this code can be found here

Answer 1

You can try with

\listofalgorithms
\addtocontents{loa}{\def\string\figurename{Algorithm}}

How classicthesis manages added lists is not completely without problems.
