The Content Filter Plugin adds filtering capabilities for any registered post type by any taxonomies attched to it. This plugin provides a shortcode to display a filter form and dynamically updates the resource results based on the selected filters.

Installation

Clone this repo or download the plugin files and place them in the wp-content/plugins/resource-filter directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

Usage

Add the [resource_filter] shortcode to any post or page where you want to display the resource filter form.
For the secondary search form, add the [resource_filter type="homepage"] shortcode to any post or page where you want to display the secondary search form.
The filter form will allow users to search and filter resources by type, subject and text searching.

Template Override

To override the default form and results templates, copy the contents of the plugin templates directory to the resource-filter directory in your theme. The plugin will use the template files in your theme directory instead of the default plugin versions.

Template Files

filter-form.php - Main form template
filter-homepage.php - Secondary form template for the homepage or other uses
filter-summary.php - Templae for the summary of the number of resources and applied filters
resource-results.php - Template for the search results
