Hi!
1. This is unfortunately not possible.
2. Could you please explain what do you mean by no “real” drop down?
3. Only by adding a few lines of custom CSS and altering the code.
Add this custom CSS to make the slider elements invisible:
[code]
.searchsettings .asp_noui_lu {
display: none !important;
}
.searchsettings .noUi-target {
display: none !important;
}
.asp_custom_f input[type=text] {
width: 30%;
}
[/code]
Then open up the plugins/ajax-search-pro/includes/views/asp.shortcode.custom_fields.php file and go to lines 94-95, where the beginning of those lines are:
[code]
<input type="hidden" …
<input type="hidden" …
[/code]
Change the input type to text on beginning of those lines, like this:
[code]
<input type="text" …
<input type="text" …
[/code]
Save the file. Then you should see text fields instead of the range slider.
