I'm making a views slideshow of some images. These images have a title. I would like to expose this title as a drop-down list filter.
I'm able to do this with pr-configured filter values, but i want this list to be build by the values that the end users gives as a title to a image. (or made of another field like description etc...)
So, when a user uploads images with a title "vacation", i would like this value to come up in the exposed filter in the views slideshow...
Thank you
This can easily be done using the Views Reference Filter module.
Create a views page with the fields you wish to display.
Add an Entity Reference display to your view.
Set which field should act as your search field in the format settings of the Entity Reference display (in this case Content: Title). Remove or exclude all other fields for this display only (override).
To your page display add a filter Content: Nid (entityreference filter) and expose it to visitors. Remember to select the correct view in the "View used to select the entities" drop down if you have more than one Entity Reference views.
Optional steps:
Enable Ajax for your view.
Set the exposed form style setting to auto submit.
