I'm actually very surprised this isn't a feature build into views, because in a lot of cases it would be required. However I have a view that is a CPT list with a taxonomy filter. On pageload I need to trigger the filter to select the "default" view as you don't have a way to load the page with a default selected(which would be nice) ...

I'm ok writing some JS here just wondering if you can provide me with the function that is being run on a radio button select on a form set to update on ajax so I can trigger that function on pageload to simulate a default being loaded. Using query strings is not an option in this situation.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can set the default radio button using the jQuery and trigger the change event on document.ready.

For example:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  $('target your radio option using ID or its value').attr('checked', true).trigger('change');
});

So I added that which does give the checked status and my styles for the active state are triggered however it doesn't force a reload of the view, which was where I also got to when trying to setup initially.

We are triggering the .trigger('change') - change event of radio button so it should be automatically triggered. Do you see the filtered posts on your page or you just see that the radio button is checked but the results are not filtered?

[nicholasM]

yes, exactly like you say I "just see that the radio button is checked but the results are not filtered?" You can see the team section here hidden link now, if you see it Appears to be preset on Management, but you have to click off then back on to actually trigger the update of the filter.

Yes I can see that the Management option is selected but it displays all results.

Can I have temporary admin access details so I can check whats going wrong with your setup.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check now: hidden link

I've added the following JS code to your view's "Search and Pagination" section JS box:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
   $('input[value="management"]').prop('checked', true).trigger("change");
});

I can see this is working as expected. Can you please confirm it works at your end as well.
