I have a controller which is called on submit of a search field in my index view.
[System.Web.Mvc.HttpGet]
public ActionResult ShowResultsWithFilter(SearchModelWithFilters searchModel)
{
//Logic and setting viewbag values
return View(searchModel);
}
The url returns with my results. as
"url/Result/ShowResultsWithFilter?searchString=ASTRINGTOSEARCH"
My submit model
public class SearchModelWithFilters
public string searchString { get; set; }
public bool filterA { get; set; }
public bool filterB { get; set; }
public bool filterC {get; set;}
public SearchModelWithFilters()
{
//My initial values which should be defaut when first loading the results page
filterA = true;
filterB = true;
filterC = true;
}
}
The search and filter is also on the results page, so i then resubmit with new or the same details whilst using the same controller and the url returns as
"url/Result/ShowResultsWithFilter?searchString=ASTRINGTOSEARCH&filterA=false&filterA=true&filterB=false&filterB=true&filterC=false&filterC=true"
The first instance of each filter is always false and the second updates based on the values which are submitted.
I would like it to only show the correctly updated parameters(my filters), rather then double.
My search field view (SearchField)
@model CodeCompareUk.Models.SearchModelWithFilters
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="input-group input-group-lg">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.searchString, new { @class = "form-control", @placeholder = "Enter Search..." })
<a href="javascript:$('form').submit();" class="input-group-addon">
<i class="fa fa-search"></i>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I place it inside this form helper and in the results page also include the partial "refine search"
@using (Html.BeginForm("ShowResultsWithFilter", "Result", method: FormMethod.Get))
{
@Html.Partial("SearchField")
//also this is only added in results page
@Html.Partial("RefineSearch")
}
My refine search (RefineSearch)
@model CodeCompareUk.Models.SearchSubmitModelWithFilters
@Html.CheckBoxFor(me => me.FilterA, new { @class = "custom-checkbox" })
@Html.CheckBoxFor(me => me.FilterB, new { @class = "custom-checkbox" })
@Html.CheckBoxFor(me => me.FilterC, new { @class = "custom-checkbox" })
Thanks
