Hi all,

I'm currently working on advanced search functionalities on SMK's Structure Date.

Search on an isolated Structure Date works fine, but I've a hard time trying to have it working coupled with an autocomplete field within a same repeat group.

Here is an example on an advanced-search-on-exhibition.

Let say I've got the following configuration file (in Application --> tenant --> smk --> domain-procedure-exhibition.xml):

                         <services-record-path id="smk">exhibitions_smk:http://collectionspace.org/services/exhibition/local/smk,exhibitions_smk</services-record-path>

                         <section id="domaindata">

                                                      <repeat id="smkExhibitionVenueGroupList/smkExhibitionVenueGroup" section="smk">



                                                                                   <field id="smkExhibitionVenue" ui-search="repeatable" autocomplete="person-person" section="smk"/>

[remark in passing: the autocomplete field won't be generated in the corresponding advanced-search webpage page if you set a selector tag for this field. It took me eon to figure that out.]

                                                                                   <group id="smkExhibitionDateFrom" ui-search="range" ui-type="groupfield/structureddateSMK"

                                                                                             primarykey="dateSMKDisplayText" ui-func="cspace.structuredDateSMK" section="smk">                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     </group>



                                                      </repeat>

                         </section>

This configuration works as for the creation/modification-of-exhibition webpage.

But if I create a SearchFieldsTemplate-exhibition.html in UI, I will get an error trying to reach the corresponding advanced-search-on-exhibition webpage.

I found out that fields with two different types of ui-search (i.e. "repeatable" and "range") couldn't work together in a same repeat group.

Of course, if I give the same value to the two ui-search, one of the field won't work in the advanced-search-on-exhibition webpage (depending on the value I set).

My last guess was to create two different sections (I know, it sounds quite strange, but I was quite desperate at this point):

                         <services-record-path id="smk">exhibitions_smk:http://collectionspace.org/services/exhibition/local/smk,exhibitions_smk</services-record-path>

                         <section id="domaindata">

                                                                                   <group id="smkExhibitionDateFrom" ui-search="range" ui-type="groupfield/structureddateSMK"

                                                                                             primarykey="dateSMKDisplayText" ui-func="cspace.structuredDateSMK" section="smk">                                                                                                                                                                                                </group>



                                                      </repeat>

                                                                                   <field id="smkExhibitionVenue" ui-search="repeatable" autocomplete="person-person" section="smk"/>



                                                      </repeat>

                         </section>

Surprisingly it worked for the advanced-search-on-exhibition webpage... but this time the creation/modification-of-exhibition webpage was out of order.

Now I'm running low on ideas.

Does somebody has an idea how to solve/bypass this ui-search problem?

Many thanks!

Hi all,

For information, and for those who would have the same problem as the one I described below, I found an answer here:

Thanks Ray!

Emne: [Talk] Advanced search functionalities - Different ui-search types in a same repeat group

Hi all,

I'm currently working on advanced search functionalities on SMK's Structure Date.

Search on an isolated Structure Date works fine, but I've a hard time trying to have it working coupled with an autocomplete field within a same repeat group.

Here is an example on an advanced-search-on-exhibition.

Let say I've got the following configuration file (in Application --> tenant --> smk --> domain-procedure-exhibition.xml):

                         <services-record-path id="smk">exhibitions_smk:http://collectionspace.org/services/exhibition/local/smk,exhibitions_smk</services-record-path>

                         <section id="domaindata">

                                                      <repeat id="smkExhibitionVenueGroupList/smkExhibitionVenueGroup" section="smk">



                                                                                   <field id="smkExhibitionVenue" ui-search="repeatable" autocomplete="person-person" section="smk"/>

[remark in passing: the autocomplete field won't be generated in the corresponding advanced-search webpage page if you set a selector tag for this field. It took me eon to figure that out.]

                                                                                   <group id="smkExhibitionDateFrom" ui-search="range" ui-type="groupfield/structureddateSMK"

                                                                                             primarykey="dateSMKDisplayText" ui-func="cspace.structuredDateSMK" section="smk">                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     </group>



                                                      </repeat>
