Nested Categories

Let’s say I have categories of

Parent 1
Child 1a
Child 1b
Child 1c
Parent 2
Child 2a
Child 2b
Child 2c
Parent 3
Child 3a
Child 3b
Child 3c

Then if a document is returned that is in Child 1a, Child 1b, and Child 2c, I’d want the facets to look like

Parent 1
Child 1a
Child 1b
Parent 2
Child 2c

Thus preserving the display of the parent/child relationship. From what I see now, it looks like it shows as
Child 1a
Child 1b
Child 2c
with no relationship/display of the parent.

I think then you’d probably need
1. Admin = on Facets Options page, add an option to “preserve category hierarchy display = true/false
2. Front End = Facets display in some way that displays both parent and child, when category has a parent

It should behave somewhat like your video example, except I cant use different taxonomies in place of parent categories.

Awesome! I enabled it today and it looks good. I’ll play around with it a bit this week, and then will let you know if I run into any further problems.

Note: When I initially upgraded my search results page showed an error related to hierarchy (sorry, I didnt get record the exact error). I’m only working with test data for now, so I deleted the index and re-created. Then the error disappeared.
