On a Drupal 7 site I have a view with a bunch of exposed filters (using Views + BEF) for taxonomies. Some of these taxonomies have terms with different depths. Is there a way I can dynamically show only the values of a specific depth? For example, one filter would have the depth 0 terms, another would have just the depth 1 terms.

I know that I can use "Limit list to selected items" and manually do it, but that feels clunky and requires more maintenance as terms are added. I also tried playing around with simple hierarchical select without success.

Is there some way of achieving this without manually adding terms to the exposed filter option list?

In the Views filters, there are 2 default filters for taxonomy. You want to use Content: Has taxonomy terms (with depth), then select the vocabulary and depth of the terms to include.

  • Tried that and the exposed list still includes all terms. The depth seems to impact what it should match (i.e. should a node containing a child be included when a parent is selected) but not the visible options in list.

    You can select the terms from your tags to include in the filter options. You could also try to export the view and modify the filter programatically.
