I created a block view (and a page views) to see my latest 10 posts.
I have 3 filters which are exposed and "visible" on the page view. But those filters doesn't appear in the block view.

I found a post on angrlydonuts (http://www.angrydonuts.com/displaying_views_exposed_filters) but this refers to View1 (and 1.1) and is dated of 2006.... I gave it a try anyways and the only thing I came up with is a lot of PHP errors :-(

Thank you very much for your help

Block views don't actually support exposed filters, because they don't have a URL, and the filters need a URL. Though theoretically the AJAX setting could allow them to support exposed filters and use that instead.

Thanks for the quick answer. Is the AJAX's exposed-filter is planned as a future improvement in the more-than-excellent View module ?

Good question. It probably should be; I honestly haven't thought about it, but it makes sense.

Thanks for your help ! I'll look forward a block view (or try to create a patch for Views that enables it ... but that may take a while.... :-)

Actually this is still a valid feature request.

I've committed a fix that should allow this, but due to time constraints I have not tested it very well. I would love it if someone following this could do so.

ok... I installed the latest dev version and created a view with an exposed taxonomy id filter.

The exposed filter is showing in my block if I turn AJAX on but if I choose an entry and hit "submit" my browser shows a warning "An error ocurred on /.../index.php?q=views/ajax".

If I go to the admin->blocks section i get a red box with the following

EDIT: After that when loading a new page i get the following

warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'views_ajax' was given in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEST-Intranet\includes\menu.inc on line 346.

I'm running an IIS6 with the latest PHP

I also experienced the problem on my end. I have a views block, with some exposed fields. At first, I was wondering why the exposed filter form is not showing up and did a various of combination with no success. I have found this solution "enabling ajax" did the trick. Thanks for this suggestion.
