Buttons to filter results by year

[apbalice71]

Hi, we’d like to know if it’s possible to have buttons to filter the search results by year e.g. 2022, 2021, 2020, etc.

Hi,

I’m afraid that type of layout is not possible. You can do drop-down or checkboxes or radio buttons.

May we ask how do we have radio buttons to filter by year? i.e. selecting 2021 will show only posts from 2021. We only see the date filter with the date picker selection. And can we have both, radio buttons plus date picker at the same time?

[Ernest Marcinko]

Oh, I’m sorry, I was thinking it was a custom field type filter with only containing the year. For datetime/timestamp values, or post date filters only the date picker is available, I’m sorry.

There’s another question concerning the datepicker. When it loads, the year dropdown shows 1999 to 2019. How can we make it show up to 2022?

Hi, we found that it’s related to the setting “Minimal character count to trigger search”. When it’s less than the minimal character, it won’t do anything after filtering by date. We have the following code to trigger search by enter.

	(function($){
		$('input.orig').on('keyup', function(e){
			if (e.which == 13) {
				ASP.api(1, 1, 'searchFor', $(this).val());
			}
		});
	}(WPD.dom));

How do we make datepicker trigger search even when it’s less than the minimal character?

Hi,

Well, that is intentional behaviour, you can maybe try this on the datepicker:

	(function($){
		$('.asp_datepicker').on('change', function(e){
			ASP.api(1, 1, 'searchFor');
		});
	}(WPD.dom));

May I ask if it’s possible to customize the datepicker or use something like https://www.daterangepicker.com/?

We also have another question. Is it possible to have the Reset button in filters to only reset the filers but not search field, because it’ll show “no results” when I click reset.

[Ernest Marcinko]

I’m afraid that may not be possible. However you can change the Reset button settings not to trigger the search afterwards, only to reset everything.

[apbalice71]

how do we make reset not to trigger search?

[Ernest Marcinko]

This setting.

[apbalice71]

Unfortunately, we already set to do nothing but it seems it’ll still trigger a search then shows no results on mobile.

Can you please make sure to clear the mobile device browser cache?

I tired two different mobile devices just now, and they seemed to work okay. The reset did not trigger the search after pressing. Thank you!
