Hi folks.

I can't seem to get this to work ... any help much appreciated ...

I have a view (version 2) with an exposed filter on taxonomy term name. The provided exposed widget is a text field with 'Apply' button. What I'm trying to do is to have a drop down populated from a specific vocabulary ('page type' vocab consisting of terms 'business', 'blog' & 'club'), not a free text field.

I'm struggling ... does anyone out there know how to do this?

Hi,

When you are adding the filter, are you selecting 'Taxonomy term ID', not 'Taxonomy term name'? This will give you options for select lists and autocomplete boxes when you expose the filter. Also, tick 'Is one of', but don't select any terms in the list to always load all results, so the user can use the exposed filter to drill down...unless you specifically want to force filtering on a term when the page loads.

There is also a 'Taxonomy term ID (with depth') option, but use 'Taxonomy term ID' for starters to see if that does what you want.

Regards,
Ed

I'm struggling with the path of this drop down option. When I select the drop down list (Tax Term: ID), the path of my filtered results uses the Taxonomy ID (tid=12 for example). When I use the Autocomplete, the path is the Taxonomy name (tid=name). I'd like to use the drop down list WITH the taxonomy term in the path (tid=name). Can this be done?
