Is it possible to combine att tags dropdown + checkboxes ?

Thanks for starting this new topic and for posting the text of your form and shortcodes.

It looks like your two-filter application is similar to the one discussed in this earlier support topic:

Dropdown filter with two different taxonomies

Your application does not need the “Category Search” dropdown or the “Keyword Search” in the earlier topic; just the two “Tag Search” filters. You also want one to be a checklist and the other to be a dropdown. Is that right?

You wrote “I want to make a dropdown with custom values (not generated one) …” I am not sure what that means. If you want the dropdown filter to have ONLY the colors you can use the include parameter to limit the dropdown to only those terms. You can use the exclude parameter to remove the color terms from the checklist to avoid confusion.

Your [mla_term_list] shortcode has a use_filters=true parameter, which is used by the “MLA UI Elements Example” plugin; have you installed and activated that example plugin? It will improve your application by making the selected term(s) “stick” when the page is refreshed.

Here is an updated version of your form with the two filters:

<form id="mla-search-form" action="." method="post">
<strong>Tags</strong>
<div>
[mla_term_list mla_output=checklist use_filters=true taxonomy=attachment_tag exclude="116,117,118,119,152" show_count=true mla_option_value="{+slug+}" mla_control_name=tag1 mla_item_parameter=current_tag1]
</div>
<div>
[mla_term_list mla_output=dropdown use_filters=true taxonomy=attachment_tag include="116,117,118,119,152" option_all_text=All option_all_value=all show_count=true mla_option_value="{+slug+}" mla_control_name=tag2 mla_item_parameter=current_tag2]
</div>
 
<input id="reset" name="reset" type="reset" value="Effacer" /><input id="submit" name="submit" style="float:right;" type="submit" value="Rechercher" />
</form>
 
<h3>Résultats</h3>
[mla_gallery]
attachment_tag="{+template:({+request:tax_input.attachment_tag+}|no-term-selected)+}"
tax_operator=AND
mla_markup=custom-gallery
link=download
mla_nolink_text="Aucun résultat."
[/mla_gallery]

<input id="base-image-download" style="float: right;" type="button" value="Télécharger les images sélectionnées" /><input id="base-image-clear" style="float: left;" type="button" value="Désélectionner tout" />

In the above example I have added include and exclude parameters to show how that is done. You will have to remove them or substitute the term_id values for your color tags.

I suggest you experiment with the example to see if I am on the right track. I will leave this topic unresolved until I hear back from you.

Thanks for your update and test results. I believe some adjustments to the text I provided will give you better results.

First, I did some testing and found that the exclude parameter interacts with the hierarchical parameter in a way I did not anticipate. Since the hierarchical parameter defaults to “true” the exclude parameter is ignored. You can fix this problem in either of two ways: 1) change exclude to exclude_tree, or 2) add hierarchical=false to your shortcode.

Second, you wrote “when I change value for dropdown and click on Search, it doesn’t work because it shows me 0 results” This may be because your term contains accented characters. If so, you can fix the problem by changing your shortcode parameter to:

attachment_tag="{+template:({+request:tax_input.attachment_tag,raw+}|no-term-selected)+}"

Adding the ,raw format code will prevent accented characters from being removed from the value before it is used in the query.

I regret the inconvenience caused by my oversights; thanks for your understanding. Let me know if the above suggestions work for your application.

Thanks for your progress report. I will look into the handling of the “All” value, but I want to confirm that you have installed and activated the “MLA UI Elements Example” plugin. At this time, handling of the “All” value is done in that plugin, not in the core MLA logic. Are you using that example plugin?

Thanks for confirming. I just re-tested and the “All” option is working on my system. Can you re-post the entire content of your form and shortcodes so I am sure I am testing the same values you are using? Thanks for your patience.

I copied your text into my system and it is working for me. I do not have your mla_markup=custom-term-list-checklist custom template, so the problem may be somewhere in the template. Also, I added the ,raw format code to the attachment_tag parameter.

Can you post the source text of your custom template?

Thank you for working with me offline to find and fix the problem with your [mla_term_list] shortcode. Your first Keyword is completely numeric, and so its slug value is numeric. This is unusual, and there were several places in the MLA plugin and the UI Elements plugin that tested for numeric values and assumed they were term_id values, not slugs. It took some time to find all of these places and work out a more reliable alternative.

I have uploaded a new MLA Development Version dated 20170302 that contains the fixes and an updated MLA UI Elements Example plugin. Thanks again for your patience and persistence in working with me on this topic.
