Hello,

I have a few exposed filters which allow users to seach articles/products based on their needs. Some exposed filters can be summarized into one category, other filters belong to an other category. It would be good if BEF could integrate a feature where exposed filters can be grouped. A good example is the module Views Exposed Groups. As I defenitively need the jquery slider I need BEF. But using BEF I can't use Views Exposed Groups as only one of these modules can be activated.

Is there a chance that this becomes a feature soon?

Regards,
ThuleNB

Here is a really rough take on that. it's not pretty and it's definitely not RTBC but it works and is a starting place for improvements.

Slightly better with some weights attached to the fieldsets.

Is this patch for the dev version? It seems to be failing on the current 7.x-3.0-beta4 release.

Yes, it's applied against the dev version. Better one that will handle sorting and paging will be coming soon.

Hi,

I was working on a similar solution in a custom module. How about using the Views - Filter Groups at a starting point?

This would make the handling of groups and weights needless.

I think this would be good practice.

I think I could have a look on this, but it will take a long time since I haven't contributed to drupal projects yet and need to learn patching and the workflow itself.

To render these groups we should implement

  1. Vertical Tabs
  2. Fieldsets (collaps - settings per group)
