hanoiiHow is the normal taxonomy filter if you expose it? Is it a text field or you get a selection. This module only works populating filters that accepts a field text
Comment #2
vin247 commentedhmm that might be the problem then, when I expose the taxonomy filter I only get an autocomplete or drop down option....any way round this or am I stumped?
Comment #3
hanoiiI don't remember if there's anything like a free text taxonomy filter, but other than that, it's out of the scope of this module. You could improve the module or code your own filter but that requires development skills.
Comment #5
mohamedali commentedI've the same problem, I have exposed filters for taxonomy which take auto-complete, and when using Populate filter to merge "field_MY_TERM1)" with "field_MY_TERM2)" nothing happened even after making my original filters not exposed as it described in the module documentation.
ps: my view export attached.
Thanks in advance.
Comment #6
hanoiiI don't understand what you mean with "merge"
Comment #7
tim.plunkettThis is because it is searching the term ID, not the term name.
Comment #8
mohamedali commented@hanoii I mean with merge that to make one exposed filter for both in the display.
@tim.plunkett can it be doable with term name? if yes how?
Comment #9
chris.jichen commentedAs Tim said, the views taxonomy term field filter is searching against term id. If anyone has the solution for searching against term name, please post.
Comment #10
chris.jichen commentedAs Tim said, the views taxonomy term field filter (the autocomplete or dropdown field) is searching against the term id. But you can choose to add the filter as term name instead of term id. In this way, you can use this module.
Comment #11
hanoiiIf there's a way to filter as term name and that accepts a text field, then yes, that's the way. You might need to add a term relationship first though so you can access the term name.
