Views Filter Pack
This module has been created to allow other exposed filters than the select-boxes views normally offers. With this module you can, if you want use a select box, radio buttons or even check boxes. The way an exposed filter looks can be overridden per display and this module falls back to the default if the display has no overridden exposed settings in views.
Views Filter Pack was developed by Peter Boeren. The author can be contacted for paid customizations of this module as well as Drupal consulting, installation and development.
This is a module young module and in active development. You can help by reviewing the code, testing it yourself and insert issues. The roadmap is as follows:
1) Done : fix the warning that comes from views/handlers/views_handler_filter_in_operator.inc on line 340. There will only be a warning when the form type is radio buttons and the filter is handled by the include mentioned. So you can work around it for now, but the issue is on top of the list.
2) Done : add more fields and support of CCK Fields is experimental at best.
3) add basic logic to views so that for example 'multiple' can not be chosen in relation to 'radios'.
4) write a manuel
5) ...

- All filters from default views are now implemented.
- filters that can't be changed got a nice warning'
- fixed several bugs
19-07-2009
- alter the way this module handles arguments within the views object. Now it respects the way views expects a $query object should look like. This fixes a large bug because often the exposed filter did not work as expected if you also used normal filters.
- also did a first succesfull test with CCK integration
- saw the first usage statistic of this module.
28-07-2009
- altered the info on request: issue "Inclusion in "views" package"
- altered the code. Now the exposed filter options from this module are only available if you have set the filter exposed.
- Did a grand code review. Added a lot of text to the module in the hope that more people understand the things I'm doing. This issue was an issue by Wim Leers
- Support for CCK fields is experimental at best.
