I’m trying to use the slim-plus template with enable_category_multi_select=”true”, however, the only way to update the search filters is to click the magnifying glass in the Search box above the category select dropdown. As this is not at all intuitive for users, I’ve been trying to fix it by adding a simple Submit Search button, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to get this to work yet…

Another solution I explored was using a jquery listener event to submit the form whenever a category was selected, but once again, I haven’t been able to get it to work either, with many combinations, yet none have successfully triggered the search update.

Anyway, if you could help offer a solution to the first problem, I won’t need a solution to the second. But if not, perhaps a little guidance on how to structure the jquery listener. Currently I have this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('select[name*="cn-cat"]').change(function(){
         $(this).closest('form').trigger('submit'); });  });

Still, I’d prefer just to add a Submit Search button, so I can abandon the listener idea entirely.

Seems like the javascript code should work… any here’s another way.

Install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function cn_slim_plus_add_submit_button( $atts, $results ) {

    if ( $atts['enable_category_multi_select'] && ! get_query_var( 'cn-entry-slug' ) ) {

        cnTemplatePart::submit( array( 'return' => FALSE ) );
    }
}

add_action( 'cn_action_list_before-slim-plus', 'cn_slim_plus_add_submit_button', 99, 2 );

Save and activate the snippet.

That should do it. Hope that helps!

ps. Do not forget to activate that new code snippet.

That worked wonderfully, thank you so much.
