Can we have separate search form for different custom types?

sepgs2004 — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 00:01:33 GMT

There are 3 types. They all have 5 properties in common, then each of them have their own set of properties.
I have created a base type, with an aspect of the 5 common properties.
Then 3 different aspects to cover specific properties of the 3 types.

In the share-config-custom.xml, I do not know any means to accomplish different forms for each of these types.

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="AdvancedSearch"> ... 
...
<form labelId="search.form.label.my_custom_Type1" descriptionId="search.form.desc.my_custom_Type1">my_custom:Type1</form>
<form labelId="search.form.label.my_custom_Type1" descriptionId="search.form.desc.my_custom_Type1">my_custom:Type2</form>
...                
</config>

In this I have given a form entry for each of the types.

Should I create separate search form for each of this type, to accomplish this?
I never have done this. I would like to confirm.

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type1">
        <forms>
            <form> ... </form>
            <form id="search"> ... </form>
      </forms>
</config>
<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type2">
        <forms>
            <form> ... </form>
            <form id="search"> ... </form>
      </forms>
</config>

            <form id="search"> ... </form>

That is correct, you have to include the properties defined in the aspect in each of the form (with id ='search').

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type1">
	<forms>
		<form id="search">
			<field-visibility>
                             <!-- properties from this type -->
                                ......
                                ....
                                <!-- common properties from the aspect -->
				<show id="my_custom:prop1"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop2"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop3"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop4"
    					force="true"/>
			</field-visibility>
			.......
			......
		</form>
	</forms>
</config>

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="my_custom:Type2">
	<forms>
		<form id="search">
			<field-visibility>
                                <!-- properties from this type -->
                                ......
                                ....
                                <!-- common properties from the aspect -->
				<show id="my_custom:prop1"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop2"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop3"
    					force="true"/>
				<show id="my_custom:prop4"
    					force="true"/>
			</field-visibility>
			.......
			......
		</form>
	</forms>
</config>

You can find some examples of configuring forms here:
