[ckan-dev] IFacets plugin interface

Fri Feb 15 17:47:04 UTC 2013

Sounds good

What config options are you referring to?

1. search.facets = groups tags res_format responsible-party frequency
source_type
2. search.facets.responsible-party.title = Organizations

Perhaps I would keep 1. making clear that these affect to all searches
made, and that if you want a more efficient handlint you should use
IFacets
I'm happy to drop 2.

Will there be a way for defining facets for a particular dataset type?
My use case: the harvester extension has a custom dataset type for
harvest sources and on the listing page you can facet by frequency or
type (two extras). How would I add these only to the harvest_source
type and not the default dataset (or I can't)
