Backoffice StandardDateRange in advanced- and simple-search

[voiv]

Hi,

My Type Foo contains a field "dates" of Type List<StandardDateRange> (de.hybris.platform.util.StandardDateRange).

Now i would like to add this field to the Backoffice advanced-search with this configuration:

<context type="Foo" component="advanced-search">
  <as:advanced-search connection-operator="AND">
    <as:field-list>
      <as:field name="dates" operator="contains" selected="true"/>
    </as:field-list>
  </as:advanced-search>
</context>

But the field doesn't appear:

I also would like to make the same field sortable in the List-View int the collection-browser.

How do I add the field to the advanced-search?

Is it possible and recommendable to make the "dates" field sortable in the List-View of the collection-browser?

Kindest regards

Hi,

Probably you did that, but have you reload the configuration?

Hi,

Yes I've reloaded the configuration.

My other changes in the config file were updated but the advanced search didn't work.

I've also got no error in the console.

Kindest Regards

Hi Ivo,

Sorry for my delay response.

Basically I didn't get the idea of having a List<StandardDateRange>, probably your case is require different approach. However, here is what I've got for you. Hope will help at least to get some idea from the configuration below.

Other than that if you give more details maybe I can think for a different approach.

*-items.xml

<itemtype code="Foo" autocreate="true" generate="true" extends="Product">
   <attributes>
      <attribute qualifier="dateRange" type="de.hybris.platform.util.StandardDateRange">
         <description>date range the trigger is active</description>
         <modifiers read="true" write="true" initial="false" optional="true"/>
         <persistence type="property"/>
      </attribute>
   </attributes>
</itemtype>

*backoffice-config.xml

<context type="Foo" component="advanced-search" merge-by="type" parent="Product">
   <as:advanced-search xmlns:as="http://www.hybris.com/cockpitng/config/advancedsearch" connection-operator="AND">
      <as:field-list>
         <as:field name="dateRange" operator="contains" selected="true" sortable="true"/>
      </as:field-list>
   </as:advanced-search>
</context>
<context type="Foo" component="listview" merge-by="type">
   <list-view:list-view>
      <list-view:column link="true" position="3" qualifier="dateRange" hflex="true" label="DateRannge" spring-bean=""/>
   </list-view:list-view>
</context>

in the listview tag if you want to have a better rendering you need to define a spring-bean="theIdOfYourRenderer"

Other then that the field is sortable and it's displayed in the search and list view.

Hope this helps.

Forgot to attach the screenshot for you.

Hi Ivo,

Taking the example that you posted I've encountered the following.

It was missing xmlns:as="http://www.hybris.com/cockpitng/config/advancedsearch" in the <as:advanced-search> tag. Also it was missing merge-by attribute.

<context type="Foo" component="advanced-search"  merge-by="type">
    <as:advanced-search xmlns:as="http://www.hybris.com/cockpitng/config/advancedsearch" connection-operator="AND">
        <as:field-list>
            <as:field name="dates" operator="contains" selected="true"/>
        </as:field-list>
    </as:advanced-search>
</context>

Hi,

Sorry I forgot to mention that we have the "as" definition in a separat config block.

I think the problem is more the Datatype of the field "dates" instead of the config for the advanced-search because if I add another field to the advanced-search (e.g. "id") the id-filed works perfectly fine, but the "dates"-field won't appear.

And adding a merge-mode doesn't work either, the "dates"-field won't be displayed.

Thanks for your Help.
