I am a new Plone developer and would like to customize the eea.facetednavigation for my product. In fact, we must set default search values for text widgets in faceted view (not on the @@ faceted_configure page). I thought we need to add a set_default method to Faceted.TextWidget.prototype in the faceted-widgets-text-view resource (same as https://github.com/collective/eea.facetednavigation/blob/master/eea/facetednavigation/widgets/text/edit.js). Unfortunately, I do not know how to override Javascript resources in Plone, or whether there is a better way to set the default values from faceted view without invoking the configuration page. Can someone help me please?
these resources are registered as browser-resources. browser resources are references to files which are registered under an id and can physically be anywhere on the filesystem, where the python package can reach it. and you can override them.
note: in plone 5 we normally use plone.resource based resources, because they can even be stored in the ZODB, which browser-resources can't. but that's only a side note - eea.facettednavigation seems to only use browser-resources also for plone 5 - which is fine.
this is how the browser resource in question is defined:
you can override this definition in your package by using a browser layer:
Instead of the Browser Layer overriding you could also remove the resource from the resource registry and insert a new one (Plone 4) or use a different js file for the plone.resources/faceted-widgets-text-edit resource.
First of all, maybe you can detail more what is your use-case, because:
If you need to customize the default set of the widgets/facets when Faceted navigation is enabled (including the default values), you can provide a custom browser view on your add-on's layer like:
Another way to set the default value, via JS this time, is to put it within the global query object Faceted.Query anywhere within your custom JS like:
Faceted.Query['c4'] = ['Water'];
Note: c4 is the id of your text widget.
Finally, if you really need to extend the JavaScript, even if you can override the entire JS file as @thet pointed out, you don't have to, as you can simply extend it within your custom JS file like:
Faceted.TextWidget.prototype.set_default = function(element){
console.log("Setting the default value");
}
Still, adding this method will not do the magic as it's not an expected behavior.
After recompiling the bundle I had to create a new plone instance for the changes to take effect. Is this really necessary?
Maybe that's because the script throws an error:
