CMS filter drop-down field isn't working

Design help Custom code

Hi all,

I’m using Finsweet’s CMS filter on several pages. For whatever reason, it’s not working on this particular collection. I’ve done extensive re-checking and troubleshooting and cant’t figure it out - hopefully a second set of eyes can look at it and help me find out what I’m doing wrong.

Use case:

We have a Collection of professional awards we’ve received. One of the fields in the collection is a number which is the year we received the award. The field is called Year Awarded. We’d like people to be able to filter by this collection field so that when users select, say, 2024, they get a list of all awards we were awarded in 2024. It’s simply not working.

Here is the live published page: Awards and Recognition

Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light or point me in the right direction!

Hi Andrea, your attributes are outdated, a few things-

  • FS2 uses different attributes than FS1, you need to update them all

  • The filter form is also missing the filter attribute

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response. I’m new to FS and inherited this website - is there a guide or tutorial which can explain how to update the attributes to whatever FS2 is using? Thanks!

Hey @avlj ,

You can check this guide on Finsweet’s v2 Filter attributes, you seem to have the relevant script setup already on the site.

Just make sure to check all the relevant attributes are in place and remove old attributes (v1 version) mentioned in this guide.

You can check the cloneable of v2 filter to compare it with your site to troubleshoot as well.

Hope this helps.
