Re: [VuFind-Tech] numeric range facet

[Chanel W. <Cha...@ya...>]

Thanks Demian! Oh so literally couldn't do it without you.

For others that  find ZF2 as mind-boggling as I do, I did have to make a couple of edits to Demain's code snippet  for it to work. To save you the brain cycles, it'll work if you do:

    'factories' => array(
         'Solr' => function ($sm) {
              $options = $sm->getServiceLocator()->get('VuFind\SearchOptionsPluginManager')->get('Solr');
              return new \MyNamespace\Search\Solr\Params(
                   clone($options), $sm->getServiceLocator()->get('VuFind\Config')
              );
         }
    ),

You actually want to extend Search/Solr/Params.php (which in turn extends Search/Base/Params.php).  You actually can do this through module.config.php.  In ['vufind']['plugin_managers']['search_params'], the default configuration generates all search parameter objects using an abstract factory (a class which builds the object based on the name of the service).  However, you can add a regular 'factories' section with definitions for specific services...  so in your local module's configuration, you would have something like

'factories' => array(
    'Solr' => function ($sm) {
        $options = $sm->get('VuFind\SearchOptionsPluginManager')->get('Solr');
        return new \MyNamespace\Search\Solr\Params(
            clone($options), $sm->get('VuFind\Config')
        );
    };
),

Note that it is possible that the process for constructing Params objects may still change a little bit before the full 2.0 release, so you may need to make adjustments to this factory if \VuFind\Search\Params\PluginFactory is modified in the future -- but that shouldn't be too difficult as long as you are aware that it might happen (if something changes, you'll start getting a fatal error about missing constructor parameters).

Subject: [VuFind-Tech] numeric range facet
I'm working on building custom numeric range facets (similar to dateRange). Things were going good until I started dealing with how to process the numeric entries when the form is submitted. It appears (correct me if I'm wrong) that I need to extend Search/Base/Params.php. Only thing is I can't see how that would be possible (per module.config.php). I'm not really understanding the class/method workflow once the form is submitted so maybe I'm going at this all wrong.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!
