Hello,
we need to replicate the post grid with Ajax filters you see in this page:
hidden link
We've already implemented the database with all items and we need to know if this result can be achieved using Toolset.

Thanks.

Hello, Toolset Blocks/Views does have the ability to create AJAX custom searches using either custom field values or taxonomy terms. Usually taxonomy-based searches are faster than custom field searches. Unfortunately Blocks/Views does not provide any custom search filters that look like text links. The main filter types offered are:
- Checkboxes
- Select fields
- Text input fields
- Radio buttons

The best way to achieve something similar is to use the radio button style filter, but it does not look exactly like what you have shown here in the example. Instead, it looks like a standard HTML radio button with a text label. You can try styling the filters with custom CSS to hide the standard HTML radio icon and style the text label to look like a button instead. That's a customization that we don't really provide or support here in the forums, but there are several other tickets that discuss a similar CSS implementation.
