Display Results with List / Grid view switcher using VC

Anonymous

#93631

Hello,

I’d like to start by saying thank you for building this brilliant plugin. I’ve been scouring the web for quite some time looking for a way to search, filter and sort my custom posts using Visual Composer grids, and I’m ecstatic to have discovered your plugin. It works perfectly and is exactly what I need.

There is one item I’m wondering if you could help me with. Do you know if it’s possible to implement a view switcher that would allow users to switch between viewing results in 2 different VC post grids layouts? I’ve tried using VC’s ‘pageable container’ and ‘tabs’ but unfortunately the content within the secondary pages/tabs to not load when clicked. Do you have any ideas of how to achieve this feature?

Thanks,
Brent

Welcome to Search & Filter. We are glad you like it. Are you using the Visual Composer extension for our plugin?

Hi Trevor,

Yes, I found this extension in another support ticket and it works very well.

I’d like to know if it’s possible to add a ‘switch'(2 view option buttons) to allow users the ability to choose between a grid view output and a list view output output.

I can visualise what you want. You would have to have two grids on the page, one set as a grid and the other as a single column. Did you try doing that? I mean having two visible VC columns with both types of grid, based on the same search form. Worry about the switching later. Can both grids use the same form?

I have tried this and it almost works. A single form can generate 2 results in 2 in 2 columns (grid and list) on initial page load, but as soon as a search or filter are applied, only the first result (grid) will appear and the second (list) does not.

Sorry for the typo. I’ll try again…

I would have to ask the developer, Ross, if he has any thoughts. He may well come back and ask for a demo page and access, but for now I will refer this to him.

Hi there

Its not yet a feature in the plugin, but we’re going to support this in v3 (something which I’m developing at the moment).

Release is probably a few months away with beta being sometime before that.

Let me know if you want to test the beta and I can put you on the list.

Best
