I am trying to: I am trying to create a filter for a "Single Line Field." I can do the filter for the "Select" but can't figure the "Single Line Field" out. It is for a search of talent for a talent agency. All of the other search parameters are for Select Field options. I have the Group already established. I also already have the View built, except for the search for the Single Line Field, which is the talents name. My client wants visitors to be able to search for talent by name.

I need to know how to set up the query filter while editing the view AND I need to know how to add to the Filter HTML/CSS/JS section.

The "Single Line Field" is called talent-name.

The widget that shows the search options is on hidden link.

The results show on the same page on the right.

I want the "Search by Talent Name" to be above the "Union Status" search option.

Everything I am referring to is attached in the images below.

Thanks!!!

You can change the type of this field in your view, under WPV-CONTROL short code, such as:

[wpv-control field="talent-name" url_param="talent-name" type="textfield" auto_fill_default="Talent Name" auto_fill="wpcf-talent-name" auto_fill_sort="asc"]

Please notice the "textfield" as the type. Read https://toolset.com/documentation/views-shortcodes/#wpv-control for a detailed reference.

To create a filter, just like other query filters (in your Query Filter section), you can select the field and set it to accept the desired URL Parameter (See 'query filter.JPG' in your first comment above).

Please let me know if I can help you with anything related.

Thank you so much for your response. What I would really like to do is have the searcher type in a name they are looking for and search that way....not by choosing from a list of names. Is this possible?
Thanks so much!!

Try replacing type="select" with type="textfield" in the [wpv-control] shortcode attributes.
