Hi,

just enabled the views_filter block. I noticed that the block is placed below the View (Table View, Gmap view...) and not on top as the default filter. Can i change this, or is it a bug?

thanks

You can place the block anywhere you can place a Drupal block. Did you put it in the footer? I suggest that you place it in the left or right blocks, and use weight to control it's position.

thanks for your promt reply. i put the filter block into content area. Weight is set to -10.
I think it would be great for usability if the filter block would keep its position at the top of the view. If this is impossible, i think about adding a custom region "content top" and put the filter block into it.

The filter block can be placed anywhere, on any page, not just the view page

If you want the exposed filters to be on top of the view, first try it without views_filterblock because this is the default behavior of views. Views will output stuff as a table rather than as fieldsets, but you can theme the output anyway you want (works in 4.7, but not 5.0, so if you assigned the right version above, you're in luck!).
