Configuring the module

The module provides parameters that allow you to enable filters for standard JReviews fields:

  • Category Field - Displays a list of categories
  • Listing Types Field - Displays a list of listing types. It should not be used together with Category Field filter.
  • Keywords Field - Text input. A Keyword Scope setting is also available where you can choose which standard fields will be searched
  • User Rating Field - Allows filtering by user rating (i.e. 3 stars & Up).
  • Editor Rating Field - Allows filtering by editor rating (i.e. 3 stars & Up).

Besides filters for standard fields, the module allows you to create filters for custom fields via shortcodes, for example, this shortcode would display a filter for "jr_state" custom field:

[filter name="jr_state"]

Shortcodes can have attributes to specify how and when the filter will be displayed, for example with additional attributes we can specify a custom label, make the options display as links and make the field appear only in directories 2 and 10:

[filter name="jr_state" label="State" display_as="link" show_dir="2,10"]
