I created a view with a block display and a page display.
In the page display both the exposed filters are showing up based on which the content is refreshed.

I also have a block display in the same view. I want it to show the drop down lists just like in the page, for some reason they arent showing up. What could be the reason? How to work around this?
Please help
thanks

Hi Navs,

I'm using Blocks in views with exposed filters and don't have a problem.

Out of interest...

Do you have Defaults set and then a Page and a Block Display below that?

If so, are the exposed filters set under the Default settings and have they then been inherited by the other two displays or did you add them to the page display and use 'override' to set them there? You may want to check that the required filters are actually listed in the view (under 'Filters') when you select the Block display from the list of displays on the left.

Sorry if you've already tried this.

Thanks Alex, but yes, I did check that first and the filters do infact show up when I'm viewing the block display. I can't figure this one out, can someone help please?

Did this problem get resolved? I created a Default view that included an exposed filter (Search Terms). I created a Block Display that inherited the settings and added the block to a specific page. The View output displays properly but not the Search Terms box. If I create a Page Display using the default settings with the exception of the page path, the Search Terms box displays properly.

Does this have something to do with limitations on passing arguments to a Block Display?
thanks, Norbert

Based on http://drupal.org/node/750778#comment-2907156, I enabled "Use AJAX" in the Default setting of the View - the search box now appears. Yet another 'magic incantation' (:-).
