exposed filters with hierarchical select

Posted by mp on June 25, 2009 at 4:44pm

hello

D6
modules: cck, views, hierarchical select (newest versions)

i ́m working on a real estate website. i added some content types like house, appartment and so on
if you add a real estate, you can add a location too, this is realized with taxonomy.

the location is split in country > state > destrict > zip-code > city> street
country is a vocabulary, state is a vocabulary and so on ...

now i have a view with exposed filters and there you can search for the location too.
the problem is that i don ́t know how to get this to work how i want to. you can search for every term, but there is no relationship between them.

what i ́m looking for:
you choose austria and then you should only get states of austria in the state-field (this could be a drop-down-list or better a auto-complete-textfield). then you choose a state, for example vienna, and then you get only destricts of vienna and so on

does anyone know how to realize that? i tried a lot, but i don ́t have a solution for that now ...

my drupal-know-how is advanced, php-know-how very poor

thanks+greets

ok, thanks ... i will update :)

but a last (i hope) question ... should you make for each option a category? so one for country, state, destrict and so on ... or should i make one category location with terms countrys and for each country terms with their destricts and so on ... because i think it is necessary for hierarchical select to have a tree of terms, right?

Thank you Asghar for your quick response,

I got this reply:
I think you can easily achieve this by views module, For this you should add country,states and cities as selectlist fields in node form then you go in views module and add these as views fields and as well as views expose filter then you view your results.

But what i want is when the user selects the country then the state list should contain only the states of the selected country...not all the states....i want such shorting functionality in my views exposed filter....

thanks in advance
