Update (26 Jan 2016): I would make an alpha release of BEF for Drupal 8.x but I'm waiting on #2651102: Using checkboxes for exposed filters results in zero rows displaying to be committed before doing so. It blocks a fairly major use-case for BEF. Feel free to test the patch and report your results in that issue. Thanks!

At this point, I consider the BEF module to be in alpha. As pointed out above, I would tag a release except for #2651102: Using checkboxes for exposed filters results in zero rows displaying which blocks a huge use-case for BEF. Currently working (though not thoroughly tested...):

  • Checkboxes/Radio buttons for various exposed filters
  • Nested checkboxes/radio buttons for hierarchical taxonomy filters
  • Select all/none and nested select all/none
  • Exposed filters as links

Make sure you're using the latest -dev release (or git clone)!

Hallo mikeker,

I've testet the latest D8 Release.
As soon as I check "Combine sort order with sort by" the "Display exposed sort options as: Links" is not working anymore. It will be displayed as Radio's.

Cheers,
Matthias

Seems me a little confusioning.

Why use this module the not implemented drupal_add_library, drupal_add_css ....?
(Version 8.x-3.x-dev)

Will this be changed or my mistake?

Cheers
Daniele

Hi @mfrosch and @Daniele -- you should report these issues in the issue queue for Better Exposed Filters (https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/search/better_exposed_filters). This topic is meant to be a high-level overview of D8 porting status, and not the place to address individual issues. :)

Does the list in Issue #2753111: Finish the Drupal 8 port of Better Exposed Filters need to be updated? What is the status of the Drupal 8 port?

@Chris2 The right place to ask would have been the issue you are referencing. The answer to your question would be something of interest here, of course depending on the answer. The next step for this issue in a normal workflow would be an RC or Stable release.
