Cindex template - select

I have added this template to advanced template pack. Please download it and it is there. Called select.

Thank you...this is new from today? But if I choose select template it's the same as verticaltree...

Give me access I'll check. But please describe what section you test and give me frontend URL of this section.

Gladly...the section is called Resorts. Thanks.

That was my mistake. Please download advanced templates pack again. I updated.

Thanks, just what I need:)...I remember from Mighty Resources that there was select of categories inside section Menu. Is this option still in Cobalt?

Category intex template is loaded in markup template. You can load it inside menu and it will looks like menu part.

Just a minor fix...if you want to select and then change your mind by close select options (clicking outside) the page is reloaded.

also add category index title

if($this->tmpl_params['cindex']->get('tmpl_core.show_title', 1)) {

echo JText::_($this->tmpl_params['cindex']->get('tmpl_core.title_label', 'Category Index'));

}

Fixed. I deleted blur from events in javascript at the bottom of the template.

So, the user can choose between "apply filter" and "auto-submit" ?

This is not related to filters. It is category index template. It is more like navigation.

Can you also include ---Select--- as first option that it is selected in section home?

I included but not -select-. I included section name.

Sorry. I agree, technically. The UX/behavior just reminded me on advanced search in general. Anyway, is it possible to add such a toggle/behavior to filters as well? Or is it getting obsolete with AJAX in Cobalt v9 ?! ;-)

In Cobalt 9 we will add Ajax for filters but will be triggered on button click anyway.

Then I dare to request the same feature for the AJAX solution. Form submission "on change".

In Cobalt 9?

I just noticed on this select template that if I choose Empty categories -> No then no categories are shown.

Pardon?

Section->General parameters->Templates->Category index->select->Empty Categories->No

With that settings if I go to section on my site and look at category index no categories are shown in select. It should display categories with records but it's not.

You are saying that you have some articles in those categories but those categories are not shown?

Yes, no categories are shown at all. Even if there are articles in it!

this is because Show numbers parameter above is Do not show. If we have no numbers we do not know which is empty. All become empty.
