VIEWS FILTER HARMONIZER ======================= This module solves an operational foible with the Views module regarding filtering. It allows you to have a contextual filter (URL argument) apply only when no regular (exposed) filter value has been submitted yet, i.e. on initial page load. Once the visitor changes the value for the exposed filter though, the module makes sure that the corresponding contextual filter does not interfere. For intuitive visual feedback of the underlying process, the module will also fill out the exposed filter form with the contextual filter value(s) used and will adjust the URL accordingly when an exposed filter value is submitted. Caveat: "Use AJAX" must be UNticked for the View display. INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION ---------------------------- Install and enable like any module. Use composer and/or drush if you wish. When enabled visit admin/config/user-interface/filter_harmonizer to select the Views you wish to harmonize. MODULES WITH SPECIAL FILTERS ---------------------------- The Geofield module has non-standard contextual and regular filters. A special plugin is enclosed with the Filter Harmonizer module to support Geofields. Similarly, other modules with non-standard filters can be made to work with Views Filter Harmonizer by implementing 3 hooks. The hookds are described in filter_harmonizer.api.php. See includes/filter_harmonizer_for_geofield.inc for a fully working example. * * *

- For intuitive visual feedback of the underlying process, the module will also
- fill out the exposed filter form with the contextual filter value(s) used and
- will adjust the URL accordingly when an exposed filter value is submitted.

- MODULES WITH SPECIAL FILTERS
- ----------------------------
- The Geofield module has non-standard contextual and regular filters. A special
- plugin is enclosed with the Filter Harmonizer module to support Geofields.
-
- Similarly, other modules with non-standard filters can be made to work with
- Views Filter Harmonizer by implementing 3 hooks.
- The hookds are described in filter_harmonizer.api.php.
