Filter module not displayed on submission page?

Hello tronline, apparently it is on purpose. The module's main php file checks for the "form context".
I don't know the exact reason, maybe to prevent javascript issues or just to get more space...

Anyways, it doesn't make much sense to display the search/filters during submission!?
Why and how does it break your page layout?

As I said, I am using the filter module as a plain search box. It is placed in the website's header, next to the main menu. I agree with you that you may not really need it on the submission page, but when you open that page, the search box is just missing in the layout.

I think I will place a disabled dummy search box in that spot. The user will not be able to use it, but he probably won't even notice that it is disabled, because he doesn't try. :o)

Thanks for the reply anyway. So I know that I don't have to look for that option in the Cobalt configuration anymore.

EDIT: Oh wait, it's much more easier to edit the module's main file (although I usually try to avoid hacking core files). Just 4 lines of code to take out - that's worth it...

Ha ha ha! Thank you. That was really funny!

I do not remember why I did this only one exeption in the module, but I am sure there had to be a reason.

And I am still loughing! :D

In general, I like the idea to hide a (bigger) filters/search sidebar during submission.
Probably you hide it because of the inherited section ItemID. If you don't use a separate Cobalt submission MenuItem, you would not have a chance to hide it on submission form.

However, it is not optimal to "hard-code" the URL check in the main file ;)
Maybe it can have a parameter? Or the check inside the template file? So, one might create an override.

pepperstreet Maybe it can have a parameter?

I would appreciate that...

...because I did not go with the dummy search box but edited the module file.

I added parameter.

Just downloaded and installed. Works perfectly for me. :-)

Thanks a lot!
