Currently all exposed filters are text fields. In views out-of-the-box (mysql views), you have the option of showing a dropdown (select input) instead of just typing in the term. This issue is about adding that dropdown.
Since https://www.drupal.org/node/1807028 is a general call-out to increase the options for exposed filters, this task is about specifically improving the display of term filters. The patch attached here comes from #11 of that issue, and is acting as a starting point for this issue.

mariacha1 commentedHere's the patch in the initial comment cleaned up and rerolled for -dev.
Comment #3
mariacha1 commentedThis is weird. The patch applies at hash adfeef6 locally...
Comment #7
mariacha1 commentedNew version of the patch that *should* apply cleanly and that fixes an issue where allowing multiple values didn't return anything.
Comment #8
mariacha1 commentedComment #9
mariacha1 commentedNew problems found when trying to allow multiple values without using the dropdown option. If the default option is still text, it should continue to be treated like a string.

MickL commentedI tried the patch and yes its working fine for taxonomy terms. I'll keep you updated if i find any bugs.
(Still we need exposed filters select for content-type and fields)
Comment #13
MickL commentedA very good addition to this patch would be: Choose between Select and Checkboxes for multiple selections.
Comment #14
aron novakFor me, setting default value did not work at all. I borrowed some code from views/handlers/views_handler_filter_in_operator.inc (views core) to make sure we set it properly.
Also i made some cosmetics.
Comment #15
EvanCo commentedHey guys, I've applied the patch but have run into a weird issue.
After adding a selective term filter, the view results only return fields of that type. ie. if I have a selective filter for tm_vid_12_xxxx the only field returned in results is tm_vid_12_xxxx and other fields (which worked fine with and without non-selective filters) return empty values.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm guessing it might be another module screwing things up
