Replace dropdown with list

Hi @monfort34,

Unfortunately BTF does not have that sort of display option at the moment.
A possible solution would be to hook into one of the action hooks available before/after each select dropdown and make your own list of radiobuttons with the same values as the options in the select dropdowns.

Jonathan,
Awesome plugin. I too was wondering if there was a way to replace the dropdown with a horizontal list. Can you possibly post an example of how to use the hooks to make that happen??
Thanks much!

Hi Bob,

Sorry but I’m very limited with time to make a complete example.
I’d like to but I have so much to do right now ??

But in the plugin documentation you can find all hooks needed. Basically you should use one of the action hooks to add your own options as checkboxes (or radiobuttons) and then hide the default ones. remember that you need to use the same field names for the submission to work. Best of luck!

I’d also like to chime in to this request.

It would be great if you could provide options for dropdown, checkbox, radio, or tag cloud. Alternately if there was at least one example in the documentation that would be helpful as well.

The plugin works well and looks pretty good right out of the box. The purpose at least in my implementation is to add filters for multiple taxonomies on a custom post. One category only has 2 options, so it doesn’t make sense as a dropdown.

I’d be happy to do this:

A little more detail would be awesome though. Thanks for the cool plugin!
