This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to specify a default option in the select field for my post relationship filter.
Solution: The wpv-control-post-ancestor shortcode accepts a default_label attribute, where you can specify the text for the default option:
[wpv-control-post-relationship ancestors="abonnement" url_param="wpv-relationship-filter"] <div class="form-group"> <label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Abonnementen[/wpml-string]</label> [wpv-control-post-ancestor type="select" default_label="--- select one ---" ancestor_type="abonnement"] </div> [/wpv-control-post-relationship]

Hello supporter,
In the custom search form I want to be able to search on the post title of a parent. I achieved that, but one thing is wrong. I want to start the form with no selection. As it is now it opens with the first post title and there is no '--- select one ---' option.
The search form code:
[code}
[wpv-control-post-relationship ancestors="abonnement" url_param="wpv-relationship-filter"]
<div class="form-group">
<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Abonnementen[/wpml-string]</label>
[wpv-control-post-ancestor type="select" ancestor_type="abonnement"]
</div>
[/wpv-control-post-relationship]
[/code]
How the search form looks you can see in the attached image.
toolset21: 'select one' option replaced with understandable text
toolset22: opens with a selection and no possibility to leave it blank
Please advise.
Jos
