LP Degree Finder 2.0

Introduction

Degree Finder 2.0 is an integration of several different functionalities including:

Landing Pages Programs Matrix
MixItUp Multifilter
MixItUp URL Hash Deserialization
Custom PHP Content/Control Overrides

Landing Pages Programs Matrix

The Programs Matrix was an earlier effort to make disseminating, maintaining, and updating program-specific data less cumbersome and more agile. The first step was to find a solution that works as a "Poor Man's Database." We settled on using Google Sheets with a custom Add-On that allows the exporting of JSON arrays. That exported JSON data array is our "programs database" for the Landing Pages.

We then ingest and decode our data array using PHP. This process allows us to perform various logical operators in PHP and Javascript to programmatically present data and create useful modules. Degree Finder 2.0 is our first new module using the Matrix.

See Full Documentation

MixItUp Multifilter

Javascript Library

The MixItUp functionality is a high-performance, dependency-free library for animated filtering, sorting, insertion, removal and more of DOM (Document Object Model) elements.

Filter/Sort Functionality

In our case, MixItUp is applied to a container of "target" elements, which are programs pulled from our Matrix, formatted in JSON, and constructed using PHP logic. Moreover, this functionality of filtering and sorting is advantageous for our purposes of presenting relevant degrees to prospective students and allowing them to explore all our programs regardless of where they land.

Multiple Dimensions

MixItUp MultiFilter is designed to be used with content requiring filtering by multiple distinct attributes or "dimensions." In our case: Keywords, Degree Level, and School. We are not limited to these dimensions alone and can add/remove them per their usefulness.

Keyword String Matching Functionality

Currently the Keywords search input indexes the program title, program level, and program description. Extra keywords are being added per the paid-search team's recommendations and will be indexed as well. We can add and remove data to this simple string* search fairly easily.

* The way the search works is it looks for a containing string match. For example, "Intelligence" would match on Competitive Intelligence but not on Intelligent Design. Approximate or Fuzzy string matching where "Intelligence" matches on Intelligent would be a major version upgrade.

	  
// Instantiate MixItUp
$(function(){
	var containerEl = document.querySelector('#Grid');
	var targetSelector = '.mix';
	var activeHash = '';
	var mixer = mixitup(containerEl, {
		multifilter: {
				enable: true,
		},
		"animation": {
		"duration": 500,
		"effects": "fade scale(0.01) translateZ(100px)"
		},
		callbacks: {
				onMixStart: function(state, futureState) {
					console.log(futureState.activeFilter.selector);
				},
				onMixEnd: setHash // Call the setHash() method at the end of each operation
		},
		controls: {
				toggleDefault: 'none'
		},
    load: {
        filter: '',
        sort: 'id:asc'
    }
	});
});

URL Hashing

Unfortunately, our Keyword Search can't be passed through URL hashing because of bugs with URI encoding/decoding methods. However, we can also target some prefiltered results on a page with our dropdown/select filters for Degree Level and School.

For example start.amu.apus.edu/degrees/overview#level=associate&school=sgs would filter the general degrees page to show associate degrees in the School of Security and Global Studies in the Degree Finder. Please note: this will interact with a keyword pre-filter as detailed in the next section.

Keyword in URL Hash

Pursuing Keywork Hashing in the URL would be an enhancement feature-level upgrade. Likely possible but significant version upgrade.

	  
/**

* @return {object|null}
*/

function deserializeHash() {
	var hash    = window.location.hash.replace(/^#/g, '');

	if (!hash) return obj;

	obj = {};
	groups = hash.split('&');

	groups.forEach(function(group) {
		var pair = group.split('=');
		var groupName = pair[0];

		obj[groupName] = pair[1].split(',');
	});

	return obj;

	output = output.replace(/&$/g, '');

	return output;

/**

*/

function getUiState() {
	// NB: You will need to rename the object keys to match the names of
	// your project's filter groups -- these should match those defined
	// in your HTML.

	var uiState = {

Custom PHP Content/Control Overrides

By default the Degree Finder will show a standard Heading and Intro paragraph that informs/instructs the user on how to proceed. The default variables are set in _functions.php. We've also developed the option to customize the Heading and Intro per page. These variables are optionally set on the individual landing page.

Default Values

			
$GLOBALS["finder"] = "Find the Degree Program That’s Right for You";
//Default Finder section title

$GLOBALS["finderIntro"] = "Our degree finder helps you find and compare a wide variety of undergraduate- and graduate-level degree programs. Start your search here.";
//Default Finder section intro

Moreover, a custom Keyword can be set per page to prefilter the results. For example, on the test page we've prefiltered with "Intelligence" as the keyword and included a custom Heading and Intro to communicate that to the user.

Note: The custom Keyword when supplied modifies the default activeFilter and as such interacts with any URL hash filters. So on a custom Keyword page where a URL hash is also present to filter by level, you'll only see degrees that match the specified hash level AND the custom Keyword (on initial page load). The user can always override this by interacting with the Degree Finder inputs.

Custom Values

			
$GLOBALS["finderTitle"] = "See Intelligence Programs We’ve Selected for You";
// Optional override title for finder

$GLOBALS["finderCustom"] = "We’ve presented some intelligence-related programs for you, but you can use our degree finder to find and compare a wide variety of undergraduate- and graduate-level degree programs. Start your search here.";
// Optional override intro for finder

$GLOBALS["finderKey"] = "[data-keyword*=\"intelligence\"]";
// Degree Finder default filter, values should be class like .bachelor or .bus, or like [data-keyword*=\"KEYWORD\"]

Custom Value Control Scripts

The PHP below writes JS that handles the interaction through the above custom values, the MixItUp filters, and the default values of the Degree Finder form inputs.

		
// If Custom finderKey provided for preloaded results, trigger mixer api and update input value (Note: echoing JS with PHP -_-)
//if keyword populate search and trigger search filter
 if(!empty($GLOBALS["finderKey"]) && preg_match('/"([^"]+)"/', $GLOBALS["finderKey"], $m)) {
	echo "mixer.setFilterGroupSelectors('search', ['"
	. $GLOBALS["finderKey"]
	. "']); mixer.parseFilterGroups(); $('#finderSearch').val('";

			print $m[1];

	echo "');";
	echo "$('#querySearch').text($('#finderSearch').val());"; //set search query value if preset exists on load -- only shows if failed
}
//if level class populate level select and trigger level filter
elseif (in_array($GLOBALS["finderKey"], [".associate",".bachelor",".master",".ad",".cert"], true)) {
	echo "mixer.setFilterGroupSelectors('level', ['"
	. $GLOBALS["finderKey"]
	. "']); mixer.parseFilterGroups();";
	echo "$('#finderLevel').val('";
	echo $GLOBALS["finderKey"];
	echo "');";
}
//if school class populate school select and trigger school filter
elseif (in_array($GLOBALS["finderKey"], [".art",".bus",".master",".edu",".hs",".stem",".sgs"], true)) {
	echo "mixer.setFilterGroupSelectors('school', ['"
	. $GLOBALS["finderKey"]
	. "']); mixer.parseFilterGroups();";
	echo "$('#finderSchool').val('";
	echo $GLOBALS["finderKey"];
	echo "');";
}
