Using the JA K2 Filter to search/filter specific K2 items. We have K2 items set up and using the extra fields for search criteria. Working well – but I do have one issue. Some of our K2 items are for blog articles, etc. and we do not want them appearing in the search results.

The only time the blog-related K2 items show up – is when a user clicks SEARCH (in the JA K2 filter) without first selecting any of the OTHER extra fields.

I know I could exclude the other K2 items by turning ON the CATEGORY filter on the JA-K2 module. However for design-style reasons we do not want to have the category filter appear on the front end.

1.) If we use the CATEGORY filter – turned on at the module level, and only one specific category set at the module level, is there a way to NOT have the category filter drop down appear on the front end?

2.) Is there another method to restrict a specific JA K2 module to only look at certain K2 items?

Thank you.

I will discuss with development team and reply you soon.

Sorry, I don’t really get what you mean here. Could you please be more specific so that I can offer the proper help?

I think he means that you can’t select the scope in the module.

Could the open issues be combined into one update? Really looking forward to it as our website is live now.. but I don’t like the way the search results look!

If #1 is added to the extension, my problem is solved and I believe the extension is better for all users.
#2 was simply a question (is there another way to accomplish the same end result). If your development team incorporates #1 into the extension, #2 is not required.

Thank you for your responses, really hope to see the added functionality.
Best Regards
