So the problem with this plan is that when you create a collection using
itemTypes it copies rather than filters. For example:
<div ex:role="collection" ex:baseCollectionID="default"
ex:itemTypes="Family" id="the-families"></div>
<div ex:role="collection" ex:baseCollectionID="default"
ex:itemTypes="Person" id="the-people"></div>
<div ex:role="collection" ex:baseCollectionID="default"
ex:itemTypes="Marriage, Birth, Death" id="the-events"></div>
Even with baseCollectionID in there, my facets still don't work right. Any
view filtered by the above collectionID is not phased by a facet unless that
facet has the same collectionID, which is a pain because I wanted my one set
of facets to work for all views. If I use ex:expression instead of
ex:itemTypes, how do I filter on type? How do I limit to multiple types like
that third line? It would be nice if you could put the ex:itemTypes right on
your view. Thanks for your time.
