Change results URL in AIkau faceted search page

[tonyrivet]

Hi,

I have some difficulties customizing the Aikau faceted search page, which may be more a matter of lack of my knowledge about dojo/AMD.

What I want to do is to replace the document details page URL by a download URL.

I extended the Search Results Widget to include my own custom module :

var searchResultWidget = widgetUtils.findObject(model.jsonModel, "id", "FCTSRCH_SEARCH_RESULT");
if(searchResultWidget) {
   searchResultWidget.name = "mynamespace/search/CustomAlfSearchResult";
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍

I understand search results URLs are rendered this way : AlfSearchResult module > uses SearchResultPropertyLink module > mixins _SearchResultLinkMixin renderer > bring the "generateSearchLinkPayload" function > renders URLs depending on the result type

I want to override this "generateSearchLinkPayload" function but I can't figure out what is the best way to do that.

Thanks in advance for the help !

Tony

Your mileage with this answer will depend upon what version of Aikau you're using...

We made some updates to the AlfSearchResult widget to make it more customizable, essentially breaking it up into a separate functions for each part of widget. So if you want to change how the URL used when clicking on a link then you can override the "createDisplayNameRenderer" function (which by default returns a "SearchResultPropertyLink" widget).

If your custom widget overrides this function to return a custom link widget then you can override its "generateSearchLinkPayload" and/or "getPublishTopic" functions to change where search results go to.

To provide a bit of context here, we wrote the AlfSearchResult widget for performance reasons and perhaps we could have done a better job of making it more customizable. So the method described above will work, but is perhaps more complex than other Aikau customization use cases.

Also, apologies for the delay in answering this question - hopefully it doesn't come too late.
