[Gelöst] Views filter loses values when results are updated via Ajax

I've got a View that uses a custom search and parametric filter to display results, along with a Views Filter widget in the sidebar to filter the results via Ajax.

When I set values in the Views Filter, the page updates via Ajax but also reloads the controls in the widget - resetting them to a state with no values.

Can the selected values be persisted between reloads?

Dear Joff,

The AJAX feature of custom search form only work when you are outputting both the search form and the search result within the same Views shortcode [wpv-view], it will not work as expected when you put the search form in the widget.

In your case, you can both the search form and the search result within the same Views shortcode [wpv-view]:

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting by using the Views shortcode. I'm adding the View to the page already using the shortcode, but the form controls need to be in the sidebar (on the same page).

As the View also includes the form by default I've hidden it on the View output, so effectively there are two forms on the page already - the visible sidebar widget and hidden on the View.

If the form controls need to be in the sidebar, you will need to disable the AJAX feature of the Views search form, it won't be able to work as expected when you put the search form in sidebar widget, and the search result in the main content.
