Remove Refine filters from search box

[jamiedenman100]

Hi

How can I remove the 4 refine filter drop down lists from the search box (they confuse my poor users!!!)?

[mdahlman]

On my server I made this change to applicationContext-search-pro.xml:

original: <property name="defaultType" value="typeFilter-visualizations"/>
modified: <property name="defaultType" value="typeFilter-all"/>

By having it default to showing all objects it makes things MUCH more intuitive. Maybe that's enough to help your poor users.

If you really want to hide them you should still do the step above first (or else no one will be able to see non-visualization objects). Then you can probably do it easily enough in the css. It should be as easy as finding #filtersTable in search.css and adding display:none;

I haven't tried to confirm that. Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Matt

Thanks, that worked a treat

Decided to hide the filters as the number of reports we'll be using doesn't need them at present

Hi Kirstin

I think what you want is in the search.css file under

set it to display:none

Usually you can find what the name of what you want to hide by viewing the source from jasperserver page and looking for what class is being used then searching in the css files for it and adding display:none.  Hope this helps Jamie

Hi all,

 

First thanks for all your contributions.

I have just an issue with this when I modify the applicationContext-search-pro.xml as explained and I restart the jasperserver nothing happens.

Furthermore it seems as some kind of cache is active because other modification like doesn’t work. (E.g. deleting some of the refine entries)

When I test in my local environment (installed in windows XP) it works fine but when I do it in my server (installed in Ubuntu Server) it doesn’t.

 

Could anyone help me with this?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Ger

Thanks from me too - I really hated the default behavior. This is much better
