Hi,

I’m using JA K2 filter for a new website and so far its been working great. However, I have 2 problems:

Problem 1: Multi-select field search returns results of any match instead of matching all selected options. For example, if I have the following data:

Entry 1: David, USA
Entry 2: John, UK
Entry 3: Harry, UK, USA

And a multi-select extra field like this:

Countries:
* USA
* UK
* France

If I select both USA and UK for the filter search, I get David, John, and Harry. I want to it to match exactly what I search. So it should return only Harry. I’m guessing there is a place where I can change the code from matching ‘any’ in multi-select fields to matching ‘all’ but I’m not sure where that is.

Problem 2: I have a “Radio buttons” extra fields with the following options:

Language proficiency:
* Weak
* Fair
* Good

When I filter, the results match only the exact one. I would like to be able to search for ‘Fair’ and get all results of ‘Fair’ or better. In this case, it would be ‘Fair’ and ‘Good’

Any ideas on how I can solve these problems would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Myra,

Sorry for the late response.

I have discussed with the developers about your problems, here is the answer:

<blockquote>Problem 1: Multi-select field search returns results of any match instead of matching all selected options.</blockquote>
This issue will be added as new feature for next version, here is the link on project manager for you to follow its status: http://pm.joomlart.com/browse/JAK2FILTER-138. It’s not easy to change the code from matching any to all, we need time to research for the best solution for this case.

<blockquote>Problem 2: I have a “Radio buttons” extra fields, When I filter, the results match only the exact one. I would like to be able to search for ‘Fair’ and get all results of ‘Fair’ or better. In this case, it would be ‘Fair’ and ‘Good'</blockquote>
It’s impossible if option is text. If option is number, then you can change type to range slider,

For example, you set 1 symbolize for weak,
2 fair,
3 good
Then you can filter from 1 – 2 or 2 – 3, like that.
