Hello, I have a question regarding ezFind and SOLR. I've successfuly installed it and configured it but I have one issue. Parts of my page are using some data from external web service. Trought this service I'm getting some data and display it on my site. When i use ezFind, it doesn't index this content, and I cannot search this content. How can I configure ezFind to work with this data from external services? Thanks

Hi, Just tested this feature few days ago with eZFind 2.3 and it is possible but it is not something that is explainable in a forum post. There are some tweaks needed, some bug fixing and some advanced solr setup & configuration know-how. And some XML and REST programming :) But it is possible.

There are some nasty bugs with eZ Find 2.3 as released to have a smooth integration with arbitrary external sources/indexes. But stay tuned for a new year (=somewhere in January) community edition / intermediate release that will fix these and other issues. Paul

I think I've figured it out. I will need to create an intermediate webservice. Now, results from this service are in one xml with plain text, separated by tags (so solr can know the difference) This will be another source for solr. And when it finds the result, I need to create a link somehow... nasty stuff, but needed. It would be a great feature! Thank you both..

Good to read you could work around this Ivan ! I am sure the forthcoming versions of eZ Publish will provide a nice boilerplate for indexing 3rd party data ! Cheers,

I did this kind of stuff in different way, but i think the easier method is :
- To build a custom datatype, to link your external data (IDs and external database, or full XML items)
- To create a custom PHP Class to map your datatype with Solr
Tuto needed ? :)
