Feature: Active filter tags, a reset link and a result count 

Description 

A visitor who filtered the Course List saw the selects and nothing else. Three settings add what was missing, each off by default:

  • plugin.tx_academicprograms.filter.showActiveFilters shows one tag per selected category. Each tag links to the list without that selection, every other selection and the sorting kept, in the URL shape of Feature: Program filter selections have a URL.
  • plugin.tx_academicprograms.filter.showReset shows a Reset all filters link to the page without any list argument, where the list shows what the content element presets. It is offered after the visitor selected something, while a category is selected or preset, also once the visitor removed the preset.
  • plugin.tx_academicprograms.filter.showResultCount shows the number of programs found, with a singular and a plural label.

They are site settings of the aggregate set and constants of the static template, see Active filters, reset link and result count. The tags and the reset link are not shown where the content element hides the filter.

Impact 

  • Nothing changes until a site switches a setting on.
  • Program/SortingAndFilters.html renders the new partials Program/ActiveFilters.html and Program/ResultCount.html. A project that overrides Program/SortingAndFilters.html shows neither until it renders them too, with {_all} . The list action assigns the new variable {visitorSelection} for the reset link: whether the request carried a list argument at all.
  • A project that renders tags, a reset link or a count in its own templates can switch the settings on and remove its own markup. The classes are ace-active-filters and ace-count, without styles.
