"SobiPro has a Search Box and an Extended Search. To empower this feature, we publish a module to show this same search form in any page position"

In a nutshell

The module loads the Extended Search Form and allows to display it in any page position.

• Extended Search Form in any page position, with Multi-Level Category Filter.
• A new Multi-Level Category Filter app in SobiPro search.
• Support for SobiPro or Joomla(*) Search Mode.

To complement the Extended Search Form, we've added a Multi-Level Category Filter, on top of the form. The Category Filter works as a Chained Select.

The bundle also includes Category Filter & Restriction Apps for SobiPro. The Apps implements the same category navigator as a native SobiPro component  feature. Category Filter App shows the Multi-Level Category Filter in SobiPro search. The Category Restriction App implements the category restriction in the results list.
