Is there any documentation that you are following?
no, I would like references for something similar that I can follow
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I want it to look and function like this: hidden link
What is the link to your site?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Check this article on how to create a custom search https://toolset.com/course-lesson/creating-a-custom-search/
The article does not explain how to add a text search or a date search, but it explains the whole process.
You can add a Text Search, by selecting it on the filters list.
For date search, you may be looking for a special case, can you elaborate more on what you want to achieve?
In the meantime, check these articles:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/filtering-views-query-by-date/
- https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views/date-filters/
Ok, this is what I have so far: hidden link
I created this view trying to copy this archive: hidden link
I ran into a few issues:
1. How do I make the title and date search fields the same as the reference website?
I added a search field for the title but I want it to be a drop-down with the names of each post title. I also want my sermon date search to be a drop-down with the month and year (like the reference website) instead of a calendar icon.
2. Is there a way to create the same hover effect over each post image as the reference website?
3. At the very bottom of the page, I created a second slider view that displays the last 3 posts. How do I fix the height on all the slides? I set the container to 500px under 'inner content min-height' but it doesn't seem to be working.
4. Once you click on a post, It takes you to a template that I created for that view. How do I make the video player have a normal height when you resize the page. Here is an example of what I want the video player to look: hidden link
1- It does not seem that the page hidden link is using Toolset at all. Both its dropdown can't be created by the Toolset user interface, they will need custom code to be implemented.
2- It is totally possible, but it will need some custom code, most probably CSS custom code to be added to the view.
3- I think that you mean the top of the page, right? Otherwise please add a screenshot to show me what part exactly.
4- Can you elaborate more? Would it be possible to record a screencast and explain what would you like to achieve?
However, for support rules, we are able to handle only one issue at a time. This helps us to bring you a better service and also helps other users to find all the information here exposed. For that reason, I have to kindly ask you to open a new one for each of 3 and 4.
Regarding, 1 and 2, you will need custom coding. If you are not comfortable with PHP/Javascript/CSS coding, consider hiring a developer or one of our partners https://toolset.com/contractors/
For the custom code, you will need to hook into the view's query filter https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views-filters/#wpv_filter_query
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
