Re: Date Facet?

[David Huynh]

First, add this code after you include exhibit-api.js

<script>
var monthNames = [ "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun",
"Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec" ];
Exhibit.Functions["month"] = {
f: function(args) {
var set = new Exhibit.Set();

args[0].forEachValue(function(v) {
var d = SimileAjax.DateTime.parseIso8601DateTime(v);
var m = d.getMonth();
set.add(monthNames[m]);
});

return new Exhibit.Expression._Collection(set, "text");
}
};
</script>

Then for the month facet, use this expression

ex:expression="month(.dateTime)"

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

David
