Gallery and Table Toggle for Results

Anonymous

Hi,
I’m interested in having the option of the user selecting to display the results of Search & Filter in either table or gallery format. I currently have the form in the sidebar and the results are displayed using a shortcode and ajax on the page. The option of selecting table or gallery could either be in the form or the page showing results. I have been playing around with adding links in the results for table and gallery views by using add_query_arg() to add a view_type arg to the URL. This works before any filters are selected and the link looks like:

<a href="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wordpress/resources/?view_type=table">

Once I select a filter, the link becomes:

<a href="http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wordpress/resources/?post_types=project&view_type=table">

And this results in an “Oops! That page can’t be found.” message

In the above examples, I removed the sfid from the URL, since it isn’t in the pagination URL. Also when I keep the sfid in the URL, the link leads to a page of text starting with {“form”:” and looks like it’s the Search & Filter form.

I would like the filters selected in the form to continue to be selected after the view type has switched. It seems like pagination works in a similar way to what I want in that it adds an arg for the page (sf_paged) and it keeps the filter values.

I would really appreciate any help you can provide! Also, I completely understand if this question is beyond the scope of the support forum.

Thank you!

What plugins are you using, aside from S&F Pro? If it is a long list, a plugin called system snapshot report will make it into a list for you!!

I cannot see an issue with the plugins there. I think that you are trying to do too much in the query. With what you have, I see no way to do what you want. An interesting proposition though, to be able to change the layout. I will file it at the back of my mind and see what a few nights there might bring.

Hi again,
I think I have figured out a way to implement the view toggle, but I need to get the bookmark URL in the address bar. Does S&F provide a way of getting this URL within the page code, or do I need to build it myself?
Thanks!

I am not sure that I understand you.
