Custom facet - Search - Alfresco 5.0.a

streetturtle — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 16:57:36 GMT

Hi!I'd like to add some custom facets to the Alfresco search. I've created an extension which allows to override already created facets:<import resource="classpath:/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/share/imports/share-header.lib.js"><import resource="classpath:/alfresco/site-webscripts

Have you tried Search Manager (http://docs.alfresco.com/community/concepts/super-search-manager.html)?

Maybe you don't need to develop custom facets…

Yes, I've upgraded my version to 5.0.b and now I can create facets throught share. But the goal I want to achieve is to create custom facets automatically.

Well I finally solve the problem.
Just for clarification: I had a requirement to use 5.0.a version in which there is no Search Manager page.
The solution which I used is a bit dirty, but it worked. I just overwrite the faceted-search.get.js and changed the facets array by adding my custom metadata:


// Compose the individual facets
var facets = [
…
{
    id: "FCTSRCH_FACET_DOCUMENT_TYPE",
    name: "alfresco/search/FacetFilters",
    config: {
      label: "Document Type",
      facetQName: "{http://www.mycomp.com/model/efiles/1.0}typeName.__.u",
      sortBy: "ALPHABETICALLY",
      hitThreshold: 1,
      minFilterValueLength: 5,
      maxFilters: 10,
      useHash: false
    }
…
