Service Finder Prototype

The purpose:

To provide an interface for sorting through curated "services" by categories, departments or featured status. This is accomplished using content labels to populate a custom content list based on specific tag prefixes - the content list searches nearly all content types to provide flexibility.

How it works:

The content list pulls in content items based on specific tags / tag prefixes. There is a single content label required to add an item to the service finder - "ocsf". Additional tags can be added to allow an item to be filtered by category, department or added to a featured subset of items. 

The tag structure is set up to allow extreme flexibility in setting up filtering criteria but has the following dependencies:

  • "ocsf" - this is the only required tag to add a content items to the service finder
  • "ocsf-popular" - this creates a subset of services to highlight the most popular (also the default view)
  • "ocsf-dept-XXXX" - the prefix defines the filtering criteria (department) and the X's can be anything (example: ocsf-dept-Inspector-General)
  • "ocsf-cat-XXXX" - the prefix defines the filtering criteria (category) and the X's can be anything (examples: ocsf-cat-Apply-for, ocsf-cat-Register-for, etc..)

The tagging is free form so by simply creating a new content label (with the required prefix) and adding it to an item you instantly create a new filter in the interface.

Technical Stuff:

All the CSS / JS is written into the content list for maximum portability. There are dependencies on two (2) custom field templates - one for OC Single URL and OC Content Labels.
