Better Exposed Filters 7.x-3.0-beta1

The Better Exposed Filters module replaces the Views' default single- or multi-select boxes with radio buttons or checkboxes, respectively. Description fields and Select All/None links can be added to exposed filters to make for a better user experience.Views Filters are a powerful tool that refine the results of a given view. When you expose a filter, you allow the user to interact with the view making it easy to build a customized advanced search. For example, exposing the node type field as a filter lets your site visitor limit their search queries to just blog entries. Better Exposed Filters gives you greater control over the rendering of exposed filters.Why use this module? Because it provides a better user experience than the default option. Try telling a client that they should click on an option, then scroll to the next option and ctrl+click on it. Don't just click 'cause you'll lose your first selection. Oh, and ctrl+click again to unselect an option... Yeah, not user friendly.People understand checkboxes and radio buttons.What else can I do with BEF?The BEF handbook page provides some basic recipes making exposed filters a much better user experience. * Add help text for each exposed filter * Tame long lists with scrollable checkbox/radio button lists or select all/none links * Provide instant feedback by updating the View using AJAX whenever an exposed filter is changed * Use the jQuery Slider widget for greater-than, less-than or in-between types of filtersIf you've got any ideas not covered on the handbook page, add a feature request to the issue queue. You can also rate this module on DrupalModules.Views 3.x SupportBetter Exposed Filters works with Views 3 Alpha 3. Note that there is currently no simple upgrade path from Views 2.x to Views 3.x (see #714444: Need a way to upgrade BEF settings from Views 2.x to Views 3.x) other than rebuilding the BEF settings.
