Re: [VuFind-General] Facets with data from multiple indexes (VF 1.1 and 1.4)

[Tomasz H. <mo...@po...>]

Thanks Demian,

I thought that it wouldn`t be simple, so I`ll just leave links to new 
items where they are now, this is nothing of great importance. Putting a 
couple of lines in a .tpl file looks safer than tinkering with indexes :)
But I`m curious, is it possible to construct an index from two or more 
existing indexes? For example: items published in 2012, added to 
database during, say, last month?

Thanks again!
Tomasz.

Because VuFind 1.x uses the same configuration section for advanced facets and homepage facets, also keep in mind that you may need to do some customization of the advanced search screen to either match the homepage or suppress display of unwanted information.
