I have facetview2 working against my ES index. The debug window shows results coming back from ES, but they refuse to display correctly in the results! The javascript debugger shows a bunch of empty 'td' tags, but I see results coming back from ES in the debugging console. See below for screenshot and code:

Hi @petercsmith ,

Unless you specify a render function for records, fv2 will fall-back to its default result renderer which takes a configuration option to list some specific fields from the result record; that in turn just defaults to looking for a field called "id" to act as a kind of placeholder instead of the actual list you'd want to use. Since your data probably doesn't have an "id" field, it's just not rendering anything.

So, you have a couple of options.

1/ pass in your own renderer:

function customResultRenderer(options, record) {
    return "string representation of record"
}

$(this).facetview({
    search_url: 'http://services:9200/flow/_search',
    render_result_record: customResultRenderer    
    debug: true
});

2/ Use the default renderer, and tell it which fields from your data to display:

$(this).facetview({
    search_url: 'http://services:9200/flow/_search',
   result_display : [ 
        [ {"pre" : "<strong>EUID</strong>:", "field": "euid", "post" : "<br><br>"} ],
        [ {"pre" : "<strong>Source Port</strong>:", "field": "srcPort", "post" : "<br><br>"} ]
        [ {"pre" : "<strong>protocol</strong>:", "field": "protocol", "post" : "<br><br>"} ]
        [ {"pre" : "<strong>action</strong>:", "field": "action", "post" : "<br><br>"} ] 
    ],    
    debug: true
});

Hope that helps!
