AppStudio-Date FacetsName custom sort

Issue

How do I change the order of Date Facets? As example from top to bottom 'Today', 'Last Week', 'Last Month' instead of 'Last Month', 'Last Week', 'Today'.

Environment

AppStudio

Resolution

For the AppStudio Version prior to 4.7.0

Step 1:

Create processor : processors.response.replaceCommasDateBuckets.conf with below details

name: twigkit.search.processors.response.ReplaceFilterValue
facetNames: lastModified_dt
replace: ,
with: to

Step 2:

Create another processor : processors.response.dateBucketFacetMapping.conf with the details below:

name: twigkit.search.processors.response.FacetFilterValueMappingProcessor
facetNames: lastModified_dt
mappings: [NOW/MONTH-6MONTHtoNOW]=Past 6 Months,[NOW/MONTH-1MONTHtoNOW]=Past Month,[NOW/DAY-7DAYtoNOW]=Past Week,[NOW/DAY-1DAYtoNOW]=Today

Step 3:

Add above two processor in workflow of platform.fusion.fusion.conf

workflow: processors.response.replaceCommasDateBuckets,processors.response.dateBucketFacetMapping

So your fusion.conf will look like :

name: twigkit.search.fusion.Fusion
backwardsCompatible: true
timeOut: 30000
resultIDField: id
highlight: true
defaultQuery: *:*
workflow: processors.response.replaceCommasDateBuckets,processors.response.dateBucketFacetMapping

Step 4:

Sample code search.html

<search:query var="query" parameters="*" results-per-page="12" fields="id" facets="lastModified_dt">
<query:custom name="facet.interval" value="{!ex=lastModified_dt}lastModified_dt"></query:custom>
 <query:custom name="f.lastModified_dt.facet.interval.set" value="[NOW/DAY-1DAY,NOW]"></query:custom>
<query:custom name="f.lastModified_dt.facet.interval.set" value="[NOW/DAY-7DAY,NOW]"></query:custom>
<query:custom name="f.lastModified_dt.facet.interval.set" value="[NOW/MONTH-1MONTH,NOW]"></query:custom>
<query:custom name="f.lastModified_dt.facet.interval.set" value="[NOW/MONTH-6MONTH,NOW]"></query:custom>
  <query:custom name="facet.mincount" value="1"></query:custom>
</search:query>

Step 5: 

Build the project(mvn clean followed by mvn install)

Step 6: 

Run the app(mvn jetty:run )

Step 7: 

Following you can see the Output: 

For the AppStudio Version 4.7.0

Step 1: 

An attribute that changes "," to "to" is no more required in 4.7.0, refer: https://doc.lucidworks.com/release-notes/appkit/4.7.0-release-notes.html#bug-fixes

Hence remove processors.response.replaceCommasDateBuckets from platform's workflow. So fusion.conf will have a workflow of:

workflow: processors.response.dateBucketFacetMapping

So that your fusion.conf will look like:
name: twigkit.search.fusion.Fusion
backwardsCompatible: true
timeOut: 30000
resultIDField: id
highlight: true
defaultQuery: *:*
workflow: processors.response.dateBucketFacetMapping

Step 2:

Then change the processors.response.dateBucketFacetMapping as below:

name: twigkit.search.processors.response.FacetFilterValueMappingProcessor
facetNames: lastModified_dt
mappings: [NOW/MONTH-6MONTH,NOW]=Last 6 Months;[NOW/MONTH-1MONTH,NOW]=Last Month;[NOW/DAY-7DAY,NOW]=Last Week;[NOW/DAY-1DAY,NOW]=Today
separator: ;

Step 3:

You should see output like the below screenshot:
