How can I add static text into a Views exposed filter block?

Question

I have a views exposed filter block that I'm using as a search form. I'm wondering how I can display static text within the block. Here's what my Block looks like:

Essentially I want to display the title (Find A Venue) to the left of the fields, and then display the word "or" between the two. If somebody knows how to move the block title to the left of the filter fields instead of above, I suppose that that would serve my purpose well enough as well. Although, it would be nice to know how to display the static text regardless.

Answer 1

You can do this with Better Exposed Filters.

Enable the module and then navigate to your view edit page. Under Exposed Form, click Basic, which is next to Exposed form style, and change it to Better Exposed Filters. Add a Description of "or" to your title. This will place the text on the page; you will then need to style it with CSS to place it where you want.

Answer 2

Since an exposed filter is a form you could of course use hook_form_alter to tweak the form in any way you want.

Answer 3

I know this is a really old question, but here's what I did for Drupal 8. I hope it helps someone. (This is for a views page with the exposed filters exposed as a block).

use Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface;

/**
 * Implements hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
 */
function my_module_form_views_exposed_form_alter(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) {

  switch ($form['#id']) {
    case 'my_views_exposed_form_id':

      $form['my_text'] = array(
        '#type' => 'item',
        '#markup' => t('This is some custom text'),
        '#weight' => 0, // experiment with negative / positive weights to see what works
        '#wrapper_attributes' => ['class' => ['my_class']],
      );
      break;
  }
}
