Better Exposed Filters

Finally, a much delayed “official” release of the Better Exposed Filters module has been posted on drupal.org.  Regardless of the beta/dev designation since it’s introduction six months ago, BEF is already in use on about 1200 Web sites.  I had hoped to get this release out before DrupalConSF, but kinda blew it…

Drupal’s Views module is hugely powerful, but not always pretty.  Exposed filters are no exception.  The Views Filter Pack claims to do this but has some serious problems, including a lack of activity in the issue queue for the past three months.  This article gives a quick look into a new module I built to help improve the user’s experience with exposed filters.
