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:
