Visibility Condition Based on Filter Selection

[mpm]

Hi Cwicly Team,

Thanks again for all your hard work and support!

I am opening this thread to suggest a feature: visibility condition based on filter selection

For example, I’d like the text “Filters Applied:” to only show up when there is a filter selected, else it would be blank

Hi @mpm,

@mpm

For example, I’d like the text “Filters Applied:” to only show up when there is a filter selected, else it would be blank

Assuming your filters are using url parameters, you can currently achieve using url parameter visibility conditions:

Thanks @StrangeTech! I’ve seen your posts on other parts of these forums so I am very appreciative of you and your expertise.

I apologize in advance but I am quite green at web dev and cwicly –

which part of the URL is the “filter-key” and which part is the “binary-filter-key”?

Happy to help The larger and more resourced the Cwicly community becomes, the better Cwicly becomes. And the better Cwicly becomes, the more we can all accomplish with it. It is a Win-Win-Win!

@mpm

which part of the URL is the “filter-key” and which part is the “binary-filter-key”?

All url parameters come after the “?” and are key value pairs in the form of “key=value”. When there are multiple parameters, each key value pair is separated by an “&” (ampersand).

So in the case of your example the key is “search” and the value is “pork”.

Thanks again for your help @StrangeTech

I implemented your visibility condition and while it does work, it requires me to refresh my page before the visibility condition “activates”,

i.e.

I am only using the URL Parameter Filter on “search”. When I type in a search term, the dynamic Filter Selection will appear (the grey “Dyn: Filter Selection” block), but the “Filters Applied” text will not appear. If I then press F5 to refresh the page, the url will remain the same, and thus the “Filters Applied” text now shows.

Not sure if there is a way to dynamically update the page to show the text without needing to refresh, but regardless, this was a good learning experience.

thanks again!

Strange, it sounds like the visibility conditions are not updating dynamically.

Upon further inspection, I think @Louis alluded to this limitation in the original feature request:

Allow block visibility conditions based on url parameters to work with front-end rendering

Hello @StrangeTech, Thanks for bringing this up again. 1.2.9.7.2.1 should allow you to initially show/hide blocks depending on the URL parameter, and this every time the Query content is updated. The final part of this integration is to make sure we’re listening to URL changes so that whenever they do happen, this is instantly applied to blocks with URL Parameter conditions. Thanks for your patience on this one. Cheers,

@Louis, just checking when the final part of the integration is planned for. Thanks!
