I'm trying to use some exposed filters to retrieve data programmatically, but have no idea whether it's possible.

Currently I have all the exposed filter fields working, displaying a result set underneath. What I want to do is then get hold of that result set to display a chart. I'm okay on displaying a chart but I don't know how to get the correct data to plug into that.

Either I could do this as a Header for the view, or if it's easier just a 'Generate Chart from results' that takes the user to a new page with the chart generated.

The exposed filters are using AJAX.

Any ideas?

not to hijack your thread, but I'd love to know how you displayed the filters ...

I just clicked Expose from within the Views 2 user interface - look under filters... is that what you meant?

(Still haven't resolved this issue - and am having a nightmare getting the exposed filters to work with a custom widget)

No, I'm doing that, but I was wondering how you access them from your template.php if you want to override the page content. Anyway Sorry I can't help on your problem.

I know this is an old issue, but I'm trying to display the results of a Views exposed filter to either a different page or a different browser window/pop over, etc. Not really a programmer. Is there a module based solution or setting?

Thanks.

Programmatically feed values into your filters! This really saved my day. :D
