A receipe for carousel(ed) exposed filters


Prologue

A week ago I presented an idea that was flying in my head for a short while.
The idea was about exposed filters in Views and how to play with the provided interface using carousels.

Why mess with exposed filters?

I have worked on a couple of projects that used Views to construct the search interface for a website’s visitors.
And the more detailed your data model (think of the number of fields in your content-types), the more it seems like exposed filters would need their own search interface.
Or, maybe Views for exposed filters? I will write that down, maybe we have something meta-exciting here.

Back to long lists of exposed filters and the problem of placing them on a screen. Think responsive, think broken layouts, think UX, think of anything.

Or, rather, here is a little presentation for your kind selves. http://raxpetrax.bitbucket.io/list/20161006_slick_exposed_filters/

Excellent, excellent module for site builders, open the doors to easier theming of your exposed filters, even if you don’t go the carousel way.
Kudos to the people behind it, have a read on the project’s page!

And with that I bid your fairwell
