Coveo for Sitecore 5.0.642.2

Implements the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework DynamicFacetRange component to display a facet whose values are expressed as date ranges. The Coveo Dynamic Date Facet Range is an evolution over the Coveo Date Facet Range rendering, particularly because it implements Dynamic Navigation Experience.

The DynamicFacetRange extends the DynamicFacet component and supports most of its component options.

Usage notes

The Sitecore date field which the facet is based on must be included for indexing in the Templates table of the Indexing Manager (see About the Indexing Manager - Fields).
To use the Coveo Dynamic Date Facet Range rendering with custom date ranges, create a content tree structure, such as the one below, containing a Custom Date Ranges item with children Date Range items. This structure can be placed anywhere in the content tree. You will reference the location of the Custom Date Ranges item in the Facet value ranges data source option (see Configure custom ranges for a date range or numeric range facet).
To benefit from the automatic facet reordering functionality, group Coveo Dynamic Date Facet Range renderings and other dynamic facets (for example, Coveo Dynamic Facets and Coveo Dynamic Hierarchical Facets) within a Coveo Dynamic Facet Manager (see Use dynamic facets).
Coveo Dynamic Date Facet Range renderings may also be used as standalone facets without a Coveo Dynamic Facet Manager.
Any change to the facet range selection triggers a new Search API call.
You can display a dynamic facet only when a specific value is selected in another facet.
You can customize the CSS associated with this rendering.
