My current environment is:
My goal is to have and advanced search like the one below: with a search box and filters
Where under the 'Title', it will contain a drop down list with all the different indexed fields that I would like to filter by, such as: .
Where under 'Contains', it will be listing the different options such as: .
and to the right the option of adding new rows with more filters, such as ("+" sign): .
I've looked into the 'advanced search' module, and it looks like it offers something very similar to what I'm looking for.
I've read the 'advanced_search' documentation.
But I'm having a hard time implementing it.
The instruction under Configure Collection Search
To support collection based searches you need to index the
field_member_of
for every repository item as well define a new field that captures the full hierarchy offield_member_of
for each repository item.
Where do I set field_member_of
?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
A member from the Islandora community guided me. Here is what I needed to do. In the desired 'content type', I had to create a field -for convenience and consistency, name it "Member of" > machine name: "field_member_of". Here comes the key part, set it up as a Entity reference > Reference type: Content Content type: Repository Item
In my case the name of my 'content type' was 'Metadata Record'
Then in the Solr index page proceed to index the field; indexed it twice:
I still have things to figure out to make it work; however, this would be the response to this question.
