I have a View with an exposed form . I am trying to a few things on it. Ideally I would like to have a dropdown that fires the form with no button. If that is not possible then I would like to have the button text something different than apply.

I hacked it for now and change views_form in views.module but that does not seem like the right way to do it. I only have one exposed form right now, but what if I add more?

Please see http://www.wiredvillage.ca/News for my example.

I am poking around drupal.org and seeing others with the same problem but no solutions so far. Not sure where the best place to get Drupal help is.

Here is the change I made so far:

function views_exposed_form(&$form_state) {   // Make sure that we validate because this form might be submitted   // multiple times per page.   $form_state['must_validate'] = TRUE;   $view = &$form_state['view'];   $display = &$form_state['display'];   $form_state['input'] = $view->get_exposed_input();   // Let form plugins know this is for exposed widgets.   $form_state['exposed'] = TRUE;   $form['#info'] = array();   if (!variable_get('clean_url', FALSE)) {     $form['q'] = array(       '#type' => 'hidden',       '#value' => $view->get_url(),     );   }   // Go through each filter and let it generate its info.   foreach ($view->filter as $id => $filter) {     $view->filter[$id]->exposed_form($form, $form_state);     if ($info = $view->filter[$id]->exposed_info()) {       $form['#info']['filter-' . $id] = $info;     }   }    // I CHANGED The VALUE OF THIS SUBMIT BUTTON TO GO     $form['submit'] = array(     '#name' => '', // prevent from showing up in $_GET.     '#type' => 'submit',     '#value' => t('go'),   );   $form['#action'] = url($view->get_url());   $form['#theme'] = views_theme_functions('views_exposed_form', $view, $display);   $form['#id'] = views_css_safe('views_exposed_form-' . check_plain($view->name) . '-' . check_plain($display->id)); //  $form['#attributes']['class'] = array('views-exposed-form');   // If using AJAX, we need the form plugin.   if ($view->use_ajax) {     drupal_add_js('misc/jquery.form.js');   }   views_add_js('dependent');   return $form; }

  1. If you want the drop-down to fire, I’d use JavaScript instead of hacking the module as Eaton suggests.

    Basically, you can modify the text with hook_form_alter as Eaton suggests, then use in the same hook_form_alter, add a call to drupal_add_js with your custom JS which hides the button and submits the form on the onChange handler of the select drop-down. You want that submit button there for those 10% of users for whom the JS fails.
