Displaying filter selection in title

Hi Everyone,

I have two related questions, which I’m hoping are simple.

Question 1:

We have a simple Search & Filter Pro form setup that allows the user to sort options based on a single taxonomy – “Industries”.

When the user selects an industry, say “Aviation”, we’d like to have that word appended to the page title – so the H1 tag would read “Industries: Aviation”.

Is there way to extract the current selected values and display them somewhere in the page?

Question 2:

Using that same taxonomy, Industries… If we wanted to let the user sort results by clicking ‘buttons’ instead of the drop-down menu, is this possible? There will only be 5 items in the taxonomy at any time – those will never change. So we’d like to have buttons at the top of the sorting screen that let’s them click “Aviation”, “Marine”, “Government”, etc.

Thank you!
John

Hey John

To answer your questions:

1) S&F 2.0 has some functions specifically for this – you’ll see when the docs come out but its all the stuff contained in the active query class.

2) Not just yet, just a dropdown, but I’ll likely add radio button support here (its pretty simple) – which I think will allow you to make them look “buttony” 🙂

Thanks
