Potential Omeka bug (Faceted Browse)?

Hi all,

I was working with someone the other day to try and configure facets using numeric data, but we were unable to due to what we feel is a potential bug. This is how he describes the issue:

" Here’s what happened:

  • We imported 2000+ Items through CSV Import.
  • We designated one of the columns (Date) as a numeric data type.
  • We went to build a faceted browse page using the Before/After Date facets.
  • The Date property does not show up as an option for the facet. Also:
    * Going into the item, the date value is formatted like a numeric data type.
    * The value also does not show up when doing an advanced search for dates before/after.
    It seems like a weird bug to me. We had attempted to update the Items so that the date value showed up as a Numeric Data Type, but that wasn’t working for some reason. So, we ended up undoing the import and re-importing the Items with date configured as a numeric datatype. We thought that fixed it, but then ran into the issue outlined above.

We were wondering if anyone knew of a bug already related to this?"

Any input would be appreciated.

Can you show a screenshot illustrating this… say, one of the date values on both the show page and the edit form? Trying to check on whether these values came in as dates as far as the module is concerned.

Yes - give me a little time to get it up here.

Think I’ve solved the issue - I added a data type of “Timestamp” to the property in the resource template, and now it’s allowing me to add values.
