Need More Functionality in the Filter Fields

    I will have a database of international organizations that serve populations broken down by the categories (area of focus, age range, gender, and access/equity). Each of those have a spectrum of sub-categories and the whole premise of my database is that folks could search or filter based on ‘arts’ as an area of focus or ‘Young-Adults’ as an age range. I’ve created all the categories and subcategories but the only options you appear to give me are to lump them all into one category filter. Is there not a way to have each category be a separate drop-down either nested horizontally or vertically?

  • Hi @zwoods,

    Directorist uses a Javascript library named Select2 for dropdowns and with our recent changes for performance optimization, we introduced lazy-loading for taxonomies, which requires the latest version of Select2 and it doesn’t maintain the parent-child hierarchy. If you want to have the parent-child hierarchy on Search Box, you can turn off lazy-loading from Directory Listings > Settings > Search. As of now, we don’t load all the categories at once but that parent-child relation are noticeable: https://i.imgur.com/GX75srp.png
    Also, we do have plans for making it better in terms of User Experience and Performance.

    Mahdi.
