New viewfinder view

With groups
When searching for a course, until now we have only been able to display the search result divided into course groups — as shown in the example below:

In this view, one must fold out each group to see the individual course. The same course, which is located in several groups, is therefore shown several times.

Without groups
We have now changed that. It is now possible to hide both main and subgroups. Then the same search will look like this:

This provides a more manageable view for the user and the same course does not appear multiple times. The focus here is on the most important thing — the course. End users are usually not interested in which group a course is located in; it is the course itself that is relevant.
How to activate the function?
Enter the layout that controls your search page. If you do not know which layout is used, you can use the Layout info function.
On the layout, select the “
Course List — Grouped Course List
” block. Here's a new option called “
Hide (main, sub-) groups
” -- check here.
We also recommend enabling the option “
Collapse if there are more than X courses
”. In the example, the limit is set at 20 courses. This is a good idea if there are many courses, as it can affect the speed of the page if all courses are displayed at once.
