Hi,
DSpace v5.2, JSPUI.
I've been trying to change the Date Issued side bar facet to be a Funder side
bar facet, but I haven't been able to get it working. I was successfully able
to change the Date Issued facet to use Date Accessioned (so I've been doing
something right!), but I've not been able to get the Funder facet working - I'm
hoping someone can point out where I'm going wrong :-)
In /usr/local/dspace/config/spring/api/discovery.xml:
I updated the homepageConfiguration bean to reference a new search filter for
Funder:
<!--The Homepage specific configuration settings for discovery-->
<bean id="homepageConfiguration"
class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoveryConfiguration"
scope="prototype">
<!--Which sidebar facets are to be displayed (same as
defaultConfiguration above)-->
<property name="sidebarFacets">
<list>
<ref bean="searchFilterAuthor" />
<ref bean="searchFilterSubject" />
<ref bean="searchFilterFunder" />
</list>
</property>
- and defined the new searchFilterFunder bean (as a Search Filter/Facet using
the class DiscoverySearchFilterFacet):
<!-- New bean for contributor.other/othernew (Funder) Search filter - MW:
27/7/15 -->
<bean id="searchFilterFunder"
class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoverySearchFilterFacet">
<property name="indexFieldName" value="funder"/>
<property name="metadataFields">
<list>
<value>dc.contributor.other </value>
<!-- <value>dc.contributor.othernew </value> -->
</list>
</property>
<property name="facetLimit" value="10"/>
<property name="sortOrder" value="COUNT"/>
</bean>
- and created a sort property bean for Funder:
<!-- New bean for contributor.other (Funder) Sort properties - MW 27/7/15
-->
<bean id="sortFunder"
class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoverySortFieldConfiguration">
<property name="metadataField" value="dc.contributor.other"/>
</bean>
- which I referenced in the homepage "searchSortConfiguration":
<!--The sort filters for the discovery search (same as
defaultConfiguration above)-->
<property name="searchSortConfiguration">
<bean
class="org.dspace.discovery.configuration.DiscoverySortConfiguration">
<!--<property name="defaultSort" ref="sortDateIssued"/>-->
<!--DefaultSortOrder can either be desc or asc (desc is
default)-->
<property name="defaultSortOrder" value="desc"/>
<property name="sortFields">
<list>
<ref bean="sortTitle" />
<ref bean="sortFunder" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</property>
But after restarting Tomcat and rebuilding the discovery indices (with
/usr/local/dspace/bin/dspace index-discovery -b), the homepage loads, but only
displays the facets for Author and Subject - the Date Issued facet is no longer
displayed as expected, but nothing appears in its place (just white space) :-(
I've been following the instructions at
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Discovery but no joy so far. These
instructions also suggest that I should be using the class
"org.dspace.discovery.configuration.SidebarFacetConfiguration" for the Search
Filter bean, but I tried that and it generated an error at startup (plus this
class isn't listed in the summary of classes on that page that lists the
classes found in the discovery.xml file, so I'm left a little confused).
As an aside, I've also set up a Search Index and a Browse filter for Funder in
dspace.cfg which seem to be working:
search.index.3 = funder:dc.contributor.other
...
webui.browse.index.4 = funder:metadata:dc.contributor.other:text
I'm obviously doing something wrong or have missed something trying to create
this sidebar facet, so if anyone has any insights or suggestions they would be
very welcome :-).
Thanks in advance,
Mike
