Note Note: don’t hesitate to test our new open source package solution Datafari<\/a>, which combines Apache ManifoldCF, Apache Solr and AjaxFranceLabs <\/a>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

SPIP is a well known open source platform. We wanted to share with you how to integrate graphically a Solr server with a SPIP server. The scenario is the following: you already have SPIP based web site, and you want to have a nice search functionnality based on the lastet Solr, to benefit from all its cool functionalities. You have set up a Solr, you have crawled your SPIP content, but now you want to have your Solr search in your SPIP website. This is what we present in this tutorial.<\/p>\n

Note that since the default UI of Solr is not what you should be using (it’s not part of its core job), you can use external graphical frameworks such as AjaxSolr or AjaxFranceLabs. In our demo, we use the latter. The tutorial can be applied to other frameworks, you’ll just need to slightly adapt the steps.<\/p>\n

Note also that since we have our own Solr based search solution, Datafari, the tutorial uses it as a pre-requisite, but you can do it with a Solr as long as you combine it yourself with the AjaxFranceLabs framework.<\/p>\n

We are presenting two use cases:<\/p>\n
