limit shown dates/categories with a 'show all' option?

Hello there – is there a way we can implement some sort of limit on categories and years showing up, say, show 5 in a list then a ‘click to show all’ link that then shows all the years? This is turning into a hot button client issue and we can’t seem to make it work.

Do you mean in the display of the form, there are too many options showing? If that is the question, then this cannot be done from within the plugin. It might be possible with custom javascript, but that might break on an Ajax reload of the page. I do not know of a way to code this myself.

In the sidebar, where you choose which items to filter by – we have a list of years. and tags. and categories. sometimes there are a lot – a long list, say, 12 years to filter items by. we’d like to show 5 years, and click to show the full list.

something like this – we have at present the left side, we want to create something like the right side of this graphic – http://www.rockpixelscissors.com/years.jpg

I would need to refer this to the developer, Ross, for his input, which might take a few days. What you showed is what I had thought you wanted, so my earlier reply in that regard holds true.

Thanks Trevor – I’m happy to wait for Ross if only to get a definitive “can’t be done” to tell the client.

We can stop spinning our wheels for now, i guess.

Hey Robert

I’m afraid its not a feature within the plugin, but if you are a JS dev you could roll something of your own – depends on your level of ability – its just the same principle as showing hiding content in any container with JS, but also attaching a show more button…

If you can do these then you would be able to implement something similar.
