Solr 6 allows you to create facets based on categories

Hello,

I have recently installed Alfresco Community Edition 201702 with Alfresco Search Services 1.0.0.

Alfresco works great with solr6 but how can I create facet based on categories?

In the interface Search Manager I add tag facet but I don't find categories.

I create solr-facets-config-custom.properties in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/

#categories
custom.cm\:categories.filterID=filter_categories
custom.cm\:categories.displayName=Categories
custom.cm\:categories.displayControl=alfresco/search/FacetFilters
custom.cm\:categories.maxFilters=10
custom.cm\:categories.hitThreshold=1
custom.cm\:categories.minFilterValueLength=2
custom.cm\:categories.sortBy=INDEX
custom.cm\:categories.scope=ALL
custom.cm\:categories.scopedSites=
custom.cm\:categories.isEnabled=true

But it is incorrect it shows path.

How can I instantiate this?

Thank you.

Jonathan

There is no support for category-based facets in Alfresco Share. The support for category facets exists only on the API level at the moment. This has been mentioned in the release notes / list of new features.

Hello Axel,

There is a bunch of open JIRA tickets around that issue , no solution so far.

Even on API level, it is not that perfect:  [MNT-17649] In Solr6, facet filter for cm:categories added by REST API call will filter by category ... 

How could we find a valid workaround ?

I think you should be able to use facetting on the PATH field (and its various variants like NPATH) to do name-based facetting for categories. The main problem is that you cannot differentiate the actual path elements from the category path elements...

ooch, looks painful.

I don't have that skill level, will give up on using categories until they are supported for search. Solr6 is not enough.

many thanks for your point of view
