Show All Results or Remove Applied Filters in Low Search

Brian Rivet 26 Oct 2016 23:13 question, complete

Hi,

I am using Low Search to return a set of entries based on relationships. I am also using filters to allow the user to filter the returned results. I wanted to know if there is a way to tell the filter tag to make an option to remove all filtering or return all related entries so that if a user applies a filter and then wants to go back to seeing the full results they can click the "All" link and have it return the non-filtered results again.

Can you tell me if there is away to do this or what I would need to set the url for the filter link to to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Brian

   To remove a parameter, set it to an empty string. Inside the Filters tag, you could use something like
   
   

   {exp:low_search:filters query="{segment_2}"} 
      <a href="{low_search:url some:param=""}">All</a> 
    {/exp:low_search:filters}

   Hi Low,
   
   I think I may still have something wrong. Here's my code:
   
   
{exp:low_search:filters query="{segment_3}" result_page="/login/announcements/%s"}

<li>
<a href="{low_search:url toggle:child:announcement_related_customers=''}">All Customers Assigned to Rep</a>
</li>

{exp:zoo_visitor:details}
{visitor:rep_customers}

<li>
<a href="{low_search:url toggle:child:announcement_related_customers='{visitor:rep_customers:entry_id}'}">{visitor:rep_customers:title}</a>
</li>

{/visitor:rep_customers}
{/exp:zoo_visitor:details}
{/exp:low_search:filters}

   
   I have 2 child customers that come up so the filter menu list has a link to remove all filters and show all the entries related to all the relevant customers, and one that should show just the entries related to customer 1 and one that shows just entries related to customer 2.
   
   However, when I click the option for all customers' entries it returns nothing, when I click the option to see just customer 1 entries, I get all the entries, when I click for customer 2 entries it does what it is supposed to and shows me just customer 2 related entries.
   
   Any idea what I may be doing wrong here? If you need login info let me know and I can give you instructions for how to see this.

   Don't use the toggle: prefix if you're forcefully setting a value (the empty string).
   
   Using toggle: will add the given value to the query string if it isn't there, and remove it if it is. If you want to clear the parameter altogether, just use
   
   

   {low_search:url child:announcement_related_customers=''}
