Empty categories in search

Hi Tuan,
Is it possible to hide empty categories in the search dropdown?I would appreciate it if you could look into this.
Thanks
Bjoern

Hi Bjoern

Yes. But I wonder in what case the categories dropdown is empty. Could you please give me more information ?

Tuan

I have many pre-defined categories that the event manager can select when setting up an event. I just want the chosen categories to appear in the search/filter drop-down.

To make sure I understand your question, could you please send me screenshot of the categories filter dropdown you are talking about ?

Tuan

Please see the attached screenshot. If it’s a big effort, don’t worry about it. I have a manual workaround in case it’s not easy.

Hi Bjoern

Yes. It requires certain effort and also effect performance because we will need to query database to count number of events of each category to exclude categories without events from dropdown

So I would suggest to leave it as how it is for now. If it is really needed, I will try to implement it in next release of the extension

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Okay, it would be great to see it in a next release.

Best regards
Bjoern

OK Bjoern. I will inform you when it is implemented

Regards,

Tuan
