[Resolved] Creating a search view with classic editor

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I want to create a search View in Toolset using the classic editor to allow for more detailed filtering, as I am more comfortable with that interface.

Solution:

Enable legacy Views by going to Toolset > Settings > General, checking “Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build”, then reload the page to access Toolset > Views, where you can build the search View using the classic editor and shortcodes.

Hello,

Is there anyway to create a 'search view' with the classic editor.
I need to filter the search results ( in more detail) plus I am more comfortable with the Classic editor.

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to Toolset support. There is a way that is called legacy views which uses classic editors and shortcodes.

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Find the "Editing experience" section.
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" checkbox.
- Reload the browser page.
- Go to the newly added "Toolset > Views" menu.
- There you will be able to edit the views.
