Hello,
I need to let my users choose to view only the nodes belonging to some categories. So I used Views and CCK modules to make a view with some exposed filters, but:
- I don't like exposed filters layout: I'd like to see each field in a different row. I searched the web finding some solutions about theming exposed filters, but I wasn't able to make them work.
- Before choosing the field value, the user has to select "is one of" or "is none of"; "contains", "is equal to".. etc. I think this is very confusing and i'd like to delete this fields, or at least to translate them in italian - but i couldn't find the file and lines to edit.

So: is there a way to solve these problems? Or is there anything like an advanced search module, more customizable than exposed filters?

Note: I've just begun using Drupal and I don't know php. Therefore, if I have to edit some code, I'll need the exact code to copy and paste, and precise instructions.... thanks :-)

P.s.
I'm italian, so if someone here speaks my language, can use it!

This module themes exposed filters in a pretty good way.

Thanks! It works, even if it puts the filters in a block and not in the page itself; but moving the block I could have it just under the page content.
It was also possible to hide the operators before fields, checking "lock operator" while setting exposed filters in the view. Their translation depends on Views module localization, which i've just installed.
