Set the Drupal Views filter as on / off to enable / disable the filter

I have a Drupal view that filters a taxonomy field. I would like to be able to turn on / off a filter by opening a checkbox in the "Open Filters" form. To illustrate the problem, say, for example, the vocabulary is fruits and the terms are apples, pears, oranges and lemons. I can select the citrus content by creating a filter that says Fruit is one of (oranges, lemons). Now I would like to provide a filter so that I can choose whether to apply my citrus filter. How do I add a checkbox to open filter forms that will apply the filter when selected and ignore the filter if not selected?

Assuming you are using BEF and that you have checked the "Checkboxes / Radio buttons" option for your open filter in the BEF parameters, a way to set checkboxes instead of radio buttons is to check "Allow multiple selections" in the configuration dialog for your open filter in views.

This is possible:

  • Add a filter to the appropriate field (term reference to Fruit in your example).

In the Configure Filter dialog box:

  • Set the "Filter Type to Display" to "Grouped Filters".
  • Check the box "Allow multiple choices"
  • Set "Widget Type" to "Radio".
  • You probably want to remove "Label".
  • Remove all but one of the filter sets in the table below.


In this remaining set of filters:

  • Fill in the label ("Citrus Fruit" in your example).
  • Set "Operator" to "One of".
  • In the "Value" section, select the values ​​you want to filter (oranges and lemons in your example).

This gives you 1 checkbox that says "Citrus Fruits". Thus, the user interface. Unfortunately issue [# 2224601] prevents it from working as it results in an invalid request, but a working patch is available.

You would assume Views would do this out of the box. This is not true. Use the Enhanced Open Filters module → http://drupal.org/project/better_exposed_filters

It even has nested checkboxes / radio buttons for taxonomy with hierarchy.

Here are some docs pertaining to what you are trying to do ...

Checkboxes / Radio Buttons: This option is available for any filter with a limited number of parameters. Check the Power Single option to use radio buttons, disable it for checkboxes.

Nested flags / Buttons with radios. Although this parameter shows for any filter that shows a regular checkboxes parameter, it is really only used for taxonomic filters with hierarchy. If you are using a taxomomy filter with the selection type set to Dropdown and Show in the dropdown, these filters will appear as nested, unordered lists. Check the Single option to use nested switches "

I think no answer here answers the question. "I want to show one checkbox which, when checked, enables / allows the filter, and when unchecked, ignores / disables the filter. I don't think Better Exposed filters let me do that."

You do not need "Advanced Filters" for this. You need to use grouped filters.

  • Click this visitor filter.
  • Disclosure Filter Type: Grouped Filters
  • Check "Advanced"
  • Check "Widget type: Radio"
  • Check the box "Allow multiple choices"
  • Remove / remove "Shortcut" if necessary
  • At the bottom you will have a few lines where you can set each one as you wish. If you only want one, remove all but one
  • Click "Apply"

This answer is very late. But I hope this helps someone.
