check tree

Hi,
There are many items in my category, so I wish I can use “check tree” to show it.
Is any possible way for me to change the input type?

I am not entirely sure what you mean by a Check tree, but I guess you mean that the categories are shown in a select box, with categories and sub-categories? And you somehow want to collapse/open these in sections? If you were able to show an example of what you have and what you want?

It is an idea we could investigate, but it is not possible in the current version.

Hi James

Actually it is possible using some clever CSS 🙂

Add this to your themes CSS file:

.searchandfilter input[type='checkbox'] + label + ul
{
	display:none;
	
}
.searchandfilter input[type='checkbox'][checked='checked'] + label + ul
{
	display:block;
	
}

Thanks!

Hi Ross,
Thank you for your help. But when I click the check box in front of the categories, it doesn’t show the sub-categories. Is it right?

Hi James

Unfortunately, the CSS does not work with the way jQuery handles checked checkboxes. The second part of the code would need to be:

.searchandfilter input[type='checkbox']:checked + label + ul
{
	display:block;
	
}

I think. The technical reason is that the first method looks at the checked attribute of the input, but with jQuery, it never adds checked="checked" to the element when you click it (which is the attribute), instead it changes the DOM property of the element, and the way I have re-written it checks that property.
