I have a content type thats is called course which has a field that is a reference to a taxonomy called category.
My specification tells to build a search where users can search for the course title, category and other fields that the course type has. The search functions like intended and everything works great except the display view. Here is my setup:
- Drupal 8.5
- Search Api with DB / Solr Backend. (tried both)
So to come back: each course can have multiple categorys to be in which means that the view has to be grouped by the category. If I do that my view displays this:
Category 1 Name
- Course 1
- Course 2
Category 1 Name, Category 2 Name
- Course 3
Category 2 Name
- Course 4
- Course 5
Category 3 Name, Category 2 Name
- Course 6
Category 3 Name
- Course 7
- Course 8
- Course 9
As you can see courses that belong to multiple categorys are not listed underneath the respected category instead they are seperated by a comma. My goal is this:
Category 1 Name
- Course 1
- Course 2
- Course 3
Category 2 Name
- Course 3
- Course 4
- Course 5
- Course 6
Category 3 Name
- Course 6
- Course 7
- Course 8
- Course 9
such behaivor is easy to do if you dont use search api and want just to display a normal view. I have already read this issue but it seems my goal is not possible.
I’m asking now here if something has changed or if its possible to get this done with writing custom code? Maybe tell search api to return every result and display them with custom code grouped by the categorys? Can anyone point me to the right direction?
