Sunspot Cell¶ ↑

This plugin adds Cell support (for indexing rich documents) to Sunspot (developed against Sunspot 1.2.1).

The code is based on the patch included here: outoftime.lighthouseapp.com/projects/20339/tickets/98-solr-cell

Requirements¶ ↑

• Solr Cell libraries (dist/apache-solr-cell-1.4.X.jar and +contrib/extraction/lib/*.jar+ from the standard Solr distribution) placed in the /solr/lib directory as created by the Sunspot gem, in development environment. Your production setup might vary.

• Adjustments to the Solr schema.xml:

<fieldType name=“ignored” stored=“false” indexed=“false” multiValued=“true” class=“solr.StrField” /> and <dynamicField name=“*_attachment” stored=“true” type=“text” multiValued=“true” indexed=“true”/> <dynamicField name=“ignored_*” type=“ignored”/>

Note¶ ↑

This version assumes the attachment attribute has method .data, that returns contents of the attachment.

Usage¶ ↑

In your searchable block within your model add the document content attribute as an “attachment” type:

searchable do
  attachment :document_attachment
  ...
end

The plugin will expect a method to be defined that matches the name of the attachment attribute in our example it would be “document_attachment”, e.g.

def document_attachment
  File.read(fname) # Reading contents from a file, you can also supply the contents direct from a DB field
end

Todo¶ ↑

• Tests

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
