Extending on Erik’s proposal with facet.query, you could of course develop a
custom Function which takes a date field as input and returns the month number
between 1-12.
When used in a facet you would need to select only one month value at a time,
and frange QParser could be used for that. It would look something like:
&facet.query={!frange l=1 u=1 key=Jan}month(cdate)
&facet.query={!frange l=2 u=2 key=Feb}month(cdate)
&facet.query={!frange l=3 u=3 key=Mar}month(cdate)
…
Have not tested this particular combination of facet.query, frange parser and
function, but it could work?
