# Solr connector for SilverStripe fulltextsearch
|
|
|
|
This module provides a fulltextsearch module connector to Solr.
|
|
|
|
It works with Solr in multi-core mode. It needs to be able to update Solr configuration files, and has modes for
|
|
doing this by direct file access (when Solr shares a server with SilverStripe) and by WebDAV (when it's on a different server).
|
|
|
|
Since Solr is Java based, this module requires a Java runtime to be present on the server Solr is running on (not nessecarily
|
|
the same server the SilverStripe server is on).
|
|
|
|
## Getting started quickly (dev mode)
|
|
|
|
Configure Solr in file mode
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
mysite/_config.php:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
Solr::configure_server(isset($solr_config) ? $solr_config : array(
|
|
'host' => 'localhost',
|
|
'indexstore' => array(
|
|
'mode' => 'file',
|
|
'path' => BASE_PATH . '/fulltextsearch/thirdparty/solr/server/solr'
|
|
)
|
|
));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create an index
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
mysite/code/MyIndex.php:
|
|
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
class MyIndex extends SolrIndex {
|
|
function init() {
|
|
$this->addClass('Page');
|
|
$this->addAllFulltextFields();
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open a terminal, change to thirdparty/solr/server and start Solr by running `java -jar start.jar`
|
|
|
|
In another terminal run the configure task `sake dev/tasks/Solr_configure`
|
|
|
|
Tne run the configure task `sake dev/tasks/Solr_reindex`
|
|
|
|
You can now visit http://localhost:8983/solr/MyIndex/admin/ to search the contents of the now created Solr index
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
These instructions will get you running quickly, but the Solr indexes will be stored in your project. You can also
|
|
copy the thirdparty/solr directory somewhere else. The instructions are above still apply then - just set the path value
|
|
in mysite/_config.php to point to this other location, and of course run `java -jar start.jar` from the new directory
|
|
not the thirdparty one.
