Better Exposed Filters is not showing the option for Radio buttons and Check boxes. How do I enable it?
Better Exposed Filter working well and good until I enable the Auto Submit option. My Check boxes are gone and shows simply the list. So I uncheck the auto submit, but still i don't get the options to choose.
The filter criteria are set to "Content: Has taxonomy term"; the selection type is "Dropdown."
This also tripped me up. The settings weren't where I expected them to be and there were a couple of prerequisites. Maybe this is your issue too?
Note: You can't select these settings for filters that don't have a limited number of options. (A title won't work, but a term will.) The documentation says:
BEF only operates on fields that have a limited number of options such as Node:Type or Taxonomy:TermID. Open-ended fields, such as Node:Title, do not work with BEF. Entity References do work, however, if you Enable Render Views filters as select list (a checkbox) in the Entity's entityreference field.
I had utilized the entity reference field pattern. You need to edit the field you are referencing in the Content types > [content type] > manage fields > [field name] > edit. field settings. There, at the bottom of the page under Additional Behaviours you will find a checkbox for Render Views filters. That will allow the aforementioned select box (in BEF settings) to properly display the Checkbox/Radio option.
It's possible to make checkboxes list for nodes. Here is a good manual for Drupal 6: Filtering A View By A List Of Nodes With Checkboxes. It helped me with D7 also.
For Drupal 7 it requires several code modifications. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to add comments on this blog with code changes for D7.
