Problem: I have a View that shows a list of posts in a custom post type. Some of my posts have the same title. I would like to remove the duplicate titles from the View. How can I filter by unique post title?

Solution: There is no simple way to filter duplicate titles from wp-admin. You could implement your own custom code that uses the wpv_filter_query API or the wpv_filter_query_post_process API to filter out matching titles, or you can use this jQuery snippet to hide them on the frontend:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var strs = [];
var dupes = [];
jQuery('.wpv-loop').find('li > a').each(function(index,item){
  var txt = jQuery(item).text(); if( strs.indexOf(txt) > -1 ) { 
    dupes.push(index);
  } else{ 
    strs.push(txt);
  }
});
dupes.reverse();
for(var i=0; i<dupes.length; i++) {
  jQuery('.wpv-loop').find('li').eq(dupes[i]).remove();
}
});

Note that the duplicates may appear momentarily on the front-end until the JavaScript has been executed.

Problem:
The issue here is that the user wanted to add a custom shortcode as an attribute to his views shortcode parameter like this.

[wpv-view name="liste-der-vorstandsfunktionen-im-aktuellen-clubjahr-neu" wpvccy="[currentclubyear]"]

Solution:
This is possible, however since it is a custom shortcode you will need to add it to the views third party shortcode arguments.
To do this you will need to go to Toolset -> Settings -> Frontend Content and then add your shortcode name to the Views 3rd party shortcode arguments.

Once you have done this then it shoulda start working,

Problem:
Show results only when a search parameter is selected. On page load no results should be shown, only Custom Search Form should be visible when we open page.
