Cannot save setting for filter criterion Taxonomy term: Term

Putting this priority to normal. Found out 2 things.

The error is caused because there's no term/option selected in the select list, while the option "Limit list to selected items" is not selected. You would expect when you don't select a term from the list and put the filter to mandatory, that it uses the first term. Seems that's not the case here.

Found the reason for the broken vocabulary choice.

In: views\modules\taxonomy\views_handler_filter_term_node_tid.inc on line 47 there's the following statement:

// We only do this when the form is displayed.
if ($this->options['vocabulary'] == 0) {
  $first_vocabulary = reset($vocabularies);
  $this->options['vocabulary'] = $first_vocabulary->machine_name;
}

Although I have set a value, and it's stored, the following returns true, so the value gets overwritten with the first vocabulary. When I change it to

// We only do this when the form is displayed.
if ($this->options['vocabulary'] === 0) {

It works like it suposed to. Does anyone know how this is possible?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, $this->options['vocabulary'] has contains the machine name of the selected vocabulary, when printed before this function, after the function it resets to the first vocabulary. The first funtion overwrites the existing one.

Who spoke about a random value?

This code:

      var_dump($this->options['vocabulary']);
      
      // We only do this when the form is displayed.
      if ($this->options['vocabulary'] == 0) {
        $first_vocabulary = reset($vocabularies);
        $this->options['vocabulary'] = $first_vocabulary->machine_name;
      }
      
      var_dump($this->options['vocabulary']);

Produces this error:

Statustekst: parsererror
Antwoordtekst:
string(5) "uzine"
string(4) "tags"

The first var_dump returns the selected vocabulary, in my case uzine, while the second after $this->options['vocabulary'] == 0 statement returns a different value (the first vocabulary: tags). So after saving and returning to the term filter settings, the selected option is tags, instead of the stored value of uzine.

Quite weird.

My other problem is, after exposing the filter and set it to mandatory (sorry about the partly dutch translation).

Is that the input is not valid which produces the error:

Error:
No valid values found on filter: Taxonomy term: Term.

But the option, "Limit list to selected items" is not selected, so It should use all terms within the vocabulary (that's what I'm expecting) but that's not the case. Because of the error the view can't be saved.

Thanks, I appreciatie your help.

Anybody got an idea why I get this error No valid values found on filter: Taxonomy term: Term. on the exposed filter? It's driving me crazy :)

The view has filter:

Taxonomy Term > Dropdown
- Exposed = TRUE
- Required = TRUE
- Is one of
- LIMIT = FALSE

It should just use the first taxonomy term in the filter, and the preview displays the correct term, but then this error appears.

Hi dereine, unfortunately there is no difference when using a new vocabulary. Neither for both problems.

Problem of the error lies in the fact, that views thinks it has no input, when no item is selected in the list of limited terms of the exposed filter setting when the exposed filter is required.

While the input should be all available items (terms) when it's a required field, and when it's required and limit to.. is true, it should only use limited items instead of all.
