Hi All,
I've been looking into incorporating facet links into the display metadata in my show views, and I've been looking at the facet helper behaviors here:
Looking at the _facets.html.erb partial, I have a good idea how these helpers work in pulling facet values for the main index, but I'm curious as to how I could pull only facet values for a single item being shown. For example, in my metadata view, I'd like 'Subject' to list (and link to) the current item's values for my 'subject_facet' field. I assume render_facet_values would be useful here, but how do I limit it to the current item?
(disclosure: I'm technically working with Hydra, but that doesn't seem to conflict much when it comes to the faceting/solr side of things)
Thanks,
Tyler

I don't think you want or need to use Solr faceting behavior for that.
The whole point of solr facetting behavior is to sum up these 'groups'
accross a result set.
For a single item, I'd just store those things in a multi-valued field,
make sure that multi-valued field is returned with your document fetch,
and then display em.
How can you get BL to do this? Can you use the BL facet rendering views
to do it? I am not sure, it wasn't designed for this and I don't think
anybody's tried to do it before, sorry, I have no answer.
One way or another, it's certainly something you can do (with or without
the existing views, you might need/want to make new view templates) --
but there's probably no simple switch you can flip or one line you can
add to your app to do it, it'll take some development.

Thanks, Jonathan. I'll do some digging around to see what I come up with.
