Is there a simple way to make the categories on the front end display as Radio buttons and instant search like the drop down?

@ Rocky

You want to show both a radio group and the category drop down?

You could add it to the template with this function.

You would use it like this:

cnTemplatePart::walker( 'term-radio-group' );

Probably the simplest place to put this is in the categorySelect() function in the slim-plus.php file.

Does that help?

That was the code I needed. I didn’t need the drop down, so I commented that out. Is there a simple fix to filter the result upon radio selection (like the drop down) without the need to click the search button?

You need to add a bit of javascript to the slim-plus.js and slim-plus.min.js` file. This SO page shows basically what you need to do:

The code should be (I think) this:

$('#slim-plus input[name="cn-cat"]').change(function(){
    $('#cn-slim-plus .cn-form').submit();
});

Hey, thanks for the tip. I had to modify the code you gave me just a tad. You can see the changes I had to do for it to work. The ID selectors were causing it to fail.

$('input[name="cn-cat"]').change(function(){ $('form.cn-form').submit(); });

Cheers
