URls + Queries and Facets

Hi,

 

We have a project with very strict requirements in terms or URLs naming and I am trying to get the best approach for the index approach.

 

Requirement:

  • URL domain.com/x
    • Return a list of products (multiple parameters not really tied to a groupID or any URL provider out-of-the-box)
  • URL domain.com/y
    • Return another list of products

 

Since we cannot manipulate the URL to trigger parameters for the query, I think the only way is to create multiple queries. Is this correct?

 

If so, I also need to create 1 facet to each query even it the fields are the same, correct?

 

Some time ago I posted this feature request http://developer.dynamicweb.com/forum/feature-requests/index-with-filtering-in-paragraph.aspx which made me think it was a good idea and would fit my needs, but wanted to hear from more experienced guys :)

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Yes, you need a query for each - or you could load the product list using ajax with parameters.

And yes, you need to create a facet for each query since the facets are tied to a query. I've seen your request - and we will take it into consideration.

Hi Nicolai,

 

Thanks for that confirmation. I cannot use ajax for this particular project because we need to index the product list but we do that regularly.

 

Best Regards,
