hook form altar- from x to y price on exposed block (minimum to maximum)

Hey skyline5k.. did you make it work? I can make the form with max and min to display (I think you don't need to have the max and min filters in your views filters section). But after I press the search button it's actually posting the values such as this: '/?&min=all&max=all'. Do you know where to post the values actually and get the results?

@skyline5k sorry about my last post. I am facing the same issue. If I expose the price field in filters, the dynamic select elements (min & max) gets vanished for some reason. If I remove the exposed price field in filters I can get the select elements in the form (but it doesn't actually do any filtering work since it's not connected to the view filter itself!). Please do let me know if you solve the issue and I will let you know if I find a solution to the problem. Thanks.

@skyline5k

I have just changed the $form variable from $form['field_propprice_value']['min'] and $form['field_propprice_value']['max']to $form['field_price_range_min'] and $form['field_price_range_max'] respectively and it worked. Otherwise, everything are same i.e. exposed price field filter withing the views for min and max. Then this code with just a minor change. And it works very well. But how did you handle the max price value in your views for '100,000 RMB plus'?

See the following code to see the difference:

    case 'views_exposed_form' :
      $form['submit']['#value'] = t('Search');
      $from_options = array(
     '0' => t('Min. Price'),
     '100000' => t('$100,000'),
	 '150000' => t('$150,000'),
	 '200000' => t('$200,000'),
	 '250000' => t('$250,000'),
	 '300000' => t('$300,000'),
	 '350000' => t('$350,000'),
	 '400000' => t('$400,000'),
	 '450000' => t('$450,000'),
	 '500000' => t('$500,000'),
      );
    $to_options = array(
	 '150000' => t('$150,000'),
	 '200000' => t('$200,000'),
	 '250000' => t('$250,000'),
	 '300000' => t('$300,000'),
	 '350000' => t('$350,000'),
	 '400000' => t('$400,000'),
	 '450000' => t('$450,000'),
	 '500000' => t('$500,000'),
	 '550000' => t('$550,000'),
	 '600000' => t('$600,000'),
      );
      $form['field_price_range_min'] = array (
        '#title' => 'From',
        '#type' => 'select',
        '#multiple' => false,
        '#required' => true,
        '#options' => $from_options,
        '#default_value' => '0',
      );     
      $form['field_price_range_max'] = array (
        '#title' => 'To',
        '#type' => 'select',
        '#multiple' => false,
        '#required' => true,
        '#options' => $to_options,
        '#default_value' => '10000000',
      ); 

Yeah I have the code in my custom module only. You could have a look at the screenshots of my setting with max and min fields. And here is my complete code. Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes.

function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {

	if ($form_state['view']->name == 'searchfilter' && $form_state['view']->current_display == 'page_1') {
		
      $form['submit']['#value'] = t('Search');
      $from_options = array(
     '0' => t('Min. Price'),
     '100000' => t('$100,000'),
	 '150000' => t('$150,000'),
	 '200000' => t('$200,000'),
	 '250000' => t('$250,000'),
	 '300000' => t('$300,000'),
	 '350000' => t('$350,000'),
	 '400000' => t('$400,000'),
	 '450000' => t('$450,000'),
	 '500000' => t('$500,000'),
      );
    $to_options = array(
     '1000000000' => t('Max. Price'),
	 '150000' => t('$150,000'),
	 '200000' => t('$200,000'),
	 '250000' => t('$250,000'),
	 '300000' => t('$300,000'),
	 '350000' => t('$350,000'),
	 '400000' => t('$400,000'),
	 '450000' => t('$450,000'),
	 '500000' => t('$500,000'),
	 '550000' => t('$550,000'),
	 '600000' => t('$600,000'),
	 '100000000' => t('$600,000+'),
      );
      $form['price_min'] = array (
        '#title' => 'Price Range',
        '#type' => 'select',
        '#multiple' => false,
        '#required' => false,
        '#options' => $from_options,
        '#default_value' => '0',
      );     
      $form['price_max'] = array (
        '#type' => 'select',
        '#multiple' => false,
        '#required' => false,
        '#options' => $to_options,
        '#default_value' => '1000000000',
      );     
  }
}

@skyline5k I don't think you need any extra modules to work. check your 'filter identifier names' within exposed filters matches with the php code in your module. Can you post the latest code with screenshots of your exposed filters?

In the if statement did you change your page's current display? And change

i.e. 'page_1' in [code]$form_state['view']->current_display == 'page_1'[/code] should be changed to suit your code.
and please change the 'searchfilter' in [code]$form_state['view']->name == 'searchfilter'[/code] to your views' name.
Can you post the page display setting screenshot here?

I tried #5 and everything works fine, except that I get an "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator." error.

Here is the code I used in my module:

function viewstweaks_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {

	if ($form_state['view']->name == 'home_page_art_search' && $form_state['view']->current_display == 'page_2') {

	$form['submit']['#value'] = t('Search');
	$from_options = array(
	'0' => t('Min Height'),
	'10' => t('10 inches'),
	'20' => t('20 inches'),
	'30' => t('30 inches'),
	'40' => t('40 inches'),
	'50' => t('50 inches'),
	'60' => t('60 inches'),
	'70' => t('70 inches'),
	'80' => t('80 inches'),
	'90' => t('90 inches'),
	'100' => t('100 inches'),
		);
	$to_options = array(
	'10' => t('10 inches'),
	'20' => t('20 inches'),
	'30' => t('30 inches'),
	'40' => t('40 inches'),
	'50' => t('50 inches'),
	'60' => t('60 inches'),
	'70' => t('70 inches'),
	'80' => t('80 inches'),
	'90' => t('90 inches'),
	'100' => t('Max Height'),
		);
		$form['height_min'] = array (
		'#title' => 'Height',
		'#type' => 'select',
		'#multiple' => false,
		'#required' => false,
		'#options' => $from_options,
		'#default_value' => '0',
	);
	$form['height_max'] = array (
	'#type' => 'select',
	'#multiple' => false,
	'#required' => false,
	'#options' => $to_options,
	'#default_value' => '100',
		);
	}
}

Any suggestions on how to overcome the error?

Thanks in advance!!

I think I figured it out. For the options array, I needed to include:

'' => t(''),

So,

    $from_options = array(
    '0' => t('Min Height'),
    '10' => t('10 inches'),
    '20' => t('20 inches'),
    '30' => t('30 inches'),
    '40' => t('40 inches'),
    '50' => t('50 inches'),
    '60' => t('60 inches'),
    '70' => t('70 inches'),
    '80' => t('80 inches'),
    '90' => t('90 inches'),
    '100' => t('100 inches'),
        );

should be:

    $from_options = array(
     '' => t(''),
    '0' => t('Min Height'),
    '10' => t('10 inches'),
    '20' => t('20 inches'),
    '30' => t('30 inches'),
    '40' => t('40 inches'),
    '50' => t('50 inches'),
    '60' => t('60 inches'),
    '70' => t('70 inches'),
    '80' => t('80 inches'),
    '90' => t('90 inches'),
    '100' => t('100 inches'),
        );

thanks guys this topic really helped me,

@zdean your solution rocked for "An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator."
although wouldn`t it be better like this '' => t('Min Height'), even if it does not contain any value?

I think if anything it would have to be '' => t('Any')

yes you are totally right :)
