    One more thing – I noticed that the employees that are initially shown in the dropdown (on page load) are employees associated with the first Manager in the Manager dropdown (remember how selecting a manager will dynamically populate the employee dropdown). So, that might lend some insight into what is going on here, or confirm that this is the same glitch you have seen and fixed from before.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you could tell me when the next version of Search and Filter Pro will be released, or to see if you could email me the code that will fix the above described problem. Please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Ah, ok. That would be great. Do you know when the next official version will be coming out, or if you do send the zipped version, do you know if there will be any changes made to it before the release of the next official version? I’m wondering if it’s worth waiting until then, or just installing the new version now.

    Hi Trevor,
    Unfortunately I don’t have a live URL, but I can provide additional information.

    The select dropdowns are based on post metadata. Within a blog post form, I have JS/ajax set up with Advanced Custom Fields so that when a user selects a manager from the first dropdown, the second dropdown of employees changes dynamically to reflect employees that specifically report to that selected manager. Because of this setup, Search & Filter automatically filters my dropdowns (if I choose to hide empty results), because the results pertaining to a specific manager will only exist for the employees that are filtered within the blog form, does that make sense?

    So my question is: when I go to my blog on a browser, and Search and Filter displays on the side, I have 2 dropdowns for Manager and Employee. The first dropdown for Manager has “All Items” selected by default. The second dropdown for Employees has “All Items” selected by default as well. However, if I happen to click on the second dropdown to see all Employee options, it shows 1-2 random employees, instead of all employees, which I’m hoping for it to show since the user hasn’t selected a Manager yet.

    When the user selects a Manager from the Search and Filter dropdown, the Employees dropdown is then filtered correctly. If the user then selects “All Items” again from the Manager dropdown, I am able to see ALL Employee options. This is what I’m hoping for on page load. So I’m wondering if there is a way to show all Employees when my blog loads up, or to trigger a Manager selection manually, so that I can see all Employee options on page load?

    Can search work on text displayed on browser, rather than saved id in db?
    (Private)  April 8, 2016 at 3:16 pm #42055

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response. Well, we have a search input text box and we need to be able to search by employee name, however, the employee id is the only thing saved to the post (not the full name). So when I enter the employee’s full name in text search, it doesn’t come up in results.

    Is this possible?

    Or do you know if there’s an easy way to save hidden fields with the employee name/label? Might be an ACF hook.

    Ability to dynamically populate second filter dropdown upon selection of first
    (Private)  March 29, 2016 at 9:13 pm #40898

    Within a post form, I have two dropdowns. The first dropdown allows me to select a manager. Depending on the manager selected, the second dropdown needs to be dynamically populated with employees that directly report to that manager.

    I can get this to work from our actual form using Advanced Custom Fields and some JS. However, we want the same sort of filtering functionality to work from our Search/Filter widget. I was wondering if Search and Filter does an auto refresh to pull these dynamically created fields from our Advanced Custom Field dropdown. My guess is no, but wanted to run it by you.

    Hi,
    Ok, I see the settings now. So then would Search & Filter automatically pull the new fields from the dropdown that is dynamically changed/added in Advanced Custom Fields?
