Hi,
We're setting up a parametric search. We are able to show initial list via a view, then filter that list based on parametric selection (in this instance, just the "categories" the posts are in); however, we want to restrict the selection of "categories" in the dropdown to a specific set of categories. Currently it shows all categories.
In screenshot 1.jpg you'll see our full list of results and the dropdown with all the categories we have our results organized into. That's the initial expected behavior, however, not the preferred.
In screenshot 2.jpg, you'll see we have a red border box around a set of categories. These are the only categories we want to show in the select box (aka – we want a user to only search the "lodging" category and it's sub-categories, thereby creating a "lodgin locator" search form).
What would be the best way to implement this? If there are any other examples you'd like to see please let me know.
Thanks much!
