Ok, I’m able to reproduct Problem 2, and will be working on a solution. Problem 1 should disappear after you deactivate and reactivate.

I’ll see what I can do about the footer problem too.

Sometimes problems with the category ordering page can be solved simply by deactivating and re-activating the plugin. Please let me know if that resolves any of your issues.

Oops, nevermind, I guess option 2 wouldn’t work as different widgets wouldn’t account for each other- they’d have to all be in the same widget, I think…

I haven’t messed with taxonomies other than categories and tags, but one thing you might try is changing the word ‘category’ in lines 40,63, and 141 to the name of your taxonomy, then deactivate and reactivate the plugin and see if you can use the faceted search category widget for your taxonomy. The only problem with this is that you could only use it for one taxonomy at a time. I might need to consider this in a future release- maybe add a dropdown in the widget options to select the taxonomy to display or something; hmm…

Another option is to rebuild your taxonomy as categories, and use different Faceted Search Category widgets for each root category (Price, Model, Color), while excluding the other categories in each of the widgets. You would also want to take advantage of the new disable feature so people don’t search by the word “Price” itself, etc.

In version 3.3, which has just been committed and should be available shortly, you can specify which categories or tags you want to make uncheckable.

Glitch #1 is resolved in version 3.2.1.

Glitch #2 requires I switch to using $_GET instead of $_POST in my form method, which requires some major changes under the hood. This may be what version 3.3 will be.

Version 3.2 has this functionality now.

Version 3.2.1 changes action=”” to action=”get_home_url()/index”, which should resolve this.

Sounds like a theme/template issue, not a plugin issue. What theme are you using, and have you modified it in any way? Does this happen with regular searches or at time other than when you use the faceted search?

not sure what you mean by custom taxonomies, but you may be able to achieve it using the new exclude categories/tags functionality in Version 3.2

Just gotta submit an ajax request on any onchange event for your checkboxes, then update the content area with your results. You could use my plugin as the backend, just submit the form through an asynchronous post, and extract the needed response html. That’s about as deep as I’m going to go into this problem, as my time is limited, but hopefully it gives you an overview of a solution.

Using the excluded category functionality in version 3.2, and the conditional widgets plugin, you should be able to do this in a static way. Sorry, I don’t have a more dynamic solution. I would probably recommend Drupal for complicated stuff like this.

Version 3.2 has this functionality.

Hi Simeon,

Sorry for the late reply, but I see what you mean. The most general solution would be to replace action=”” with action=”https://www.yourhomepage.com”. Hopefully version 3.3 will use GET requests instead of POST, which might help resolve problems like this, but it’s going to be a pretty big change under the hood.

For the category widget, you’d have to cut and paste the checkbox html from lines 578 and 582 to lines 565 and 569, respectively. For the tag widget, you’d have to cut and paste the checkbox html near the end of line 686 to before the label html near the beginning of line 686, and do the same for line 691. This requires a basic knowledge of html and if you don’t know php, be careful and good luck. The line numbers I’m referring to are according to version 3.2 of the plugin, so keep that in mind too if you’re using a different version.
