Custom Search / Custom text in stead of empty search Criterium

Dieser Thread wurde gelöst. Hier ist eine Beschreibung des Problems und der Lösung.

Problem:

How to add a value for the search dropdown default item instead of the blank label?

Solution:

Add the Javascript code below to the view:

function setDropdownDefaultValue() {
    jQuery('select[name="wpv-category"] > option:first-child').text('LABEL');
}
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    setDropdownDefaultValue();
});
 
jQuery(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
    setDropdownDefaultValue();
});

replace LABEL with the label you want to add.

Hi,

Custom search by category is used on this page: versteckter Link
By default all news items are shown. The search/filter criterium is empty.

Is it possible to have something like 'All' or 'All news items' instead?

Regards,
Ron

Hi there,

Please add the JS code below to the View at the right sidebar:

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('select[name="wpv-category"] > option:first-child').text('All');
});

There you will be able to change the text to All and you are welcome to change it in the code to whatever text that you want.

Thank you.

Hi Cristopher,

Thnx. That helped to initially fill a custom text in the search criterium.

However, after filtering on a category and selecting the dropdown again, the custom text has disappeared.
Do you have a solution for that too?

Ron

Hi there,

Yes, it is possible. Please update the Javascript code to the one below:

function setDropdownDefaultValue() {
	jQuery('select[name="wpv-category"] > option:first-child').text('Alle nieuwsberichten');
}
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    setDropdownDefaultValue();
});

jQuery(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
	setDropdownDefaultValue();
});

Thank you.
