• Git Pull Request: https://github.com/liferay-echo/liferay-portal/pull/4616

Intro/Context:

With the recent implementation of Collection Display fragment we can append a collection to a page. However the collection might need to be filtered in order to propose more relevant content to the end user.Example : A user looking at a list of testimonies might filter by industry (insurance, banking, government etc.)

The goal of this story is to allow Marketers to provide a way for the end users to filter the content of a dynamic collection using Categories for Collection Pages.

Given a Marketer has created a collection page based on a dynamic collection

-

When the Marketer uses a "Collection filter" fragment

Then the Marketer editing the fragment can:

• select the categories that a user could use (by selecting the parent vocabulary or category)

• and configure if an end user could select 1 or multiple categories for the same search/filtering using Single or Multiple Editor.

 

-

When the user has selected 1 or multiple categories

Then the selected categories should appear as selected so that to give a visual feedback of what the Collection is currently filtering.
