Hi,
I am looking at a solution to be able to build views with a filter with terms of a depth of say 3.
Will this module only support exposed filters? Please also support "normal" filters.
Thanks for considering!
Greetings,
Martijn

Martijn,

could you explain what you mean with 'normal filters'. An Exposed filter is nothing more than a filter applied to the view, but with the exposed operator enabled. For depth in combination with view you can use the filter "Taxonomy: Term ID (with depth)". The description is as following:

The depth will match nodes tagged with terms in the hierarchy. For example, if you have the term "fruit" and a child term "apple", with a depth of 1 (or higher) then filtering for the term "fruit" will get nodes that are tagged with "apple" as well as "fruit". If negative, the reverse is true; searching for "apple" will also pick up nodes tagged with "fruit" if depth is -1 (or lower).

kind regards Peter

Hi Peter,

I would like to filter to ONLY the terms with say a depth of 2 having a filter setting in views where I can 1) only set possible vocabulary or all, and a setting for the depth of terms. Then the filter would work that ONLY (in your example) the "apple" nodes will be shown if I set the filter setting to 2.
[Then fruit has a depth of 1 and apple has a depth of 2].

So not AND the apple, and the fruit nodes shown, but only the apple nodes. The current views filter I can filter, but only on specific terms. I would like to filter on a depth, so I do not need to check new terms in the filter on the right level when I add terms on the needed depth level.

Is this explanation clarifying please?
Thanks for considering this!

Martijn,

Thanks for your quick reply. It's clear now and indeed can't be done with views at this point. The name of the module is views filter pack so I don't see any trouble adding some extra filters on request. I have to warn you though, that the priority will be to make the exposed filters work for the other fields.

gr, Peter

Hi Peter,

You also thanks for the quick reply, and thanks you add this depth only filter to your scope. Priority is not in my hands :) but thanks for taking this in!

Due to complexity of the module, I will focus on exposed filters only.

Hi, of course you have to focus now, please keep after the exposed filters the normal filters in scope..
Thanks for considering.
