Dropdown fields in Views

Now you can create exposed filters out of fields of Solr index. But they are simple textfields so using little custom code you can alter that form and change type of the input elements to selecboxes.

You can also enable facets and they work now with a view.

Closing this issue for now. Should you have any further questions please let me know.

Yes, you should be able to use a hook_form_alter() to change a textfield element to a select element and give it some hard-coded values. However, Apache Solr Views does not currently support providing a select element with values that come directly from the Solr core.

As ygerasimov says, FacetAPI facets should work as expected with Apache Solr Views; you just have to configure them outside of Views (enable facets in the Apache Solr configuration section, and then place the facet blocks).

Some sample code if you need help:

function bk_solr_form_views_exposed_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  //dsm($form);
  if ($form['#id'] == 'views-exposed-form-buscar-page') {
    drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'bk_solr') . '/js/ajax_view.js');

    $form['bundle']['#type'] = 'select';
    $form['bundle']['#default_value'] = 'obra';
    $form['bundle']['#options'] = array(
        'obra' => t('Colección'),
        'actividad' => t('Actividades'),
      );

    $form['clasificacion']['#type'] = 'select';
    $form['clasificacion']['#default_value'] = '';
    $form['clasificacion']['#options'] = _bk_solr_get_opciones_clasificacion();
  }
  return $form;
}
