Custom Facets

Two facets for the keywords field have been added in this release. In order to be able to uniquely identify a facet, changes have been made that affect custom made facet components. The following changes must be made in your project code:

• In the interface SearchFacetComponentDefinition, the method getIdentifier() has been added. Every class implementing this interface must therefore add this method. The identifier should be a unique string identifying the facet.
• The constructor of the class SimpleSearchFacetComponentDefinition has been changed. It now includes a parameter for the unique identifier. The new signature is:
  
  SimpleSearchFacetComponentDefinition(String identifier, String widgetId, Class<?> valuesType, List<String> path, int priority, Map<Locale, String> titles, int position, Map<String, String> properties
  
  All references to this constructor should be changed.

• For projects that define their own Dojo FacetWidget (those that extend \wmpgui\widgets\advancedsearch\facet\FacetWidget.js) there are some more changes that you have to make:
  
  • FacetWidget now has an extra member for the facet identifier. This is accessible in widgets that FacetWidget with the method getFacetIdentifier(). Also, the constructor for has been changed to:
    
    FacetWidget(fieldIdentifier, facetTitle, facetProperties, facetIdentifier)
    
    
  • If you define a FacetQuery in your custom facet widget, the constructor for this object is extended with a parameter for the facet identifier. The constructor is now:
    
    FacetQuery(fieldIdentifier, facetIdentifier, facetParameters, valueCountQueries, valuesFilter, valuesLimit)
    
    
  • If you define FacetDefinition objects in your custom widget code, the constructor has been changed to:
    
    FacetDefinition(fieldIdentifier, name, properties, facetIdentifier, FacetWidget)

Other Changes

• The formvalidation.js file in the wmpformpresentation plugin has been changed and needs to be updated when overruled in a custom presentation.
• The Is Used In widget can now recognize custom media items. You do need to make some modifications to your code, however. See Custom Media Items and the Is Used In Widget.
