I am assuming if you are reading this article you have hit
the frustrating wall of your custom date refiner showing the graph and slider
incorrectly. The refiner looks correct
until you actually use the refiner and realize that range is numeric instead of
last year, six months, etc!
Well if you are looking for a fix you are in the right spot
friend. The refiner is not working
correctly due to your managed property name!
Believe it or not the managed property name will impact the date slider
refiner.
For this example I have created a new managed property of
date type called date_Published which has an associated crawled property and
all of the correct settings. When I
modify my refinement panel and add date_Published as a refiner using the slider
with bar graph, it looks correct but the values are all numeric integers!
After a great deal of sleuthing I realized that if you
append on two numbers to the end of your managed property between 0 – 9 the
property will render correctly, aka managed_PropName[0-9][0-9]. When I updated my managed property to the
name date_Published85 the refiner rendered correctly!
Final Results
Hope This Helps!
