text or name search in filterform #387

Closed mltest1 closed 9 months ago

mltest1 commented 9 months ago

Describe the feature Having a website with 1000 locations/events/members it's not very helpfull to get a drop-down list in the filterform. It would make more sense to have a text field in the filterform to be able to search a location/event/member

Using Wordpress search implementation is not nice because you don't want to mix results of eme with other wordpress items

Converting the dropdown to something else can be done by adding this to eme.js:

        $('#eme_loc_filter').select2();
        $('#eme_cat_filter').select2();
        $('eme_city_filter').select2();
        $('eme_country_filter').select2();
        $('eme_contact_filter').select2();
        $('eme_author_filter').select2();

This converts all dropdown-selects to better selects :-) I'll test this too and add to the code if no further side-effects.

What is select2 doing differently? Can I test this by adding just above lines in my live installation?

mltest1 commented 9 months ago

I found you changes in the code and it works fine. Many thanks!
