Advanced development with eZ Find - part 1 : Datatypes in Solr and eZ Find
Monday 07 June 2010 8:05:08 am
Conclusion
This first part of the series describes fundamental elements in understanding eZ Find, namely :
- How eZ Find interfaces with eZ Publish as a search plug-in
- The two-ways interface between the eZ Publish content object attributes (and datatypes) and Solr field types
These points are essential pre-requisites before envisaging any advanced development on eZ Find. I will continue covering this subject in the two forthcoming parts of this series. Stay tuned !
I would like to thank Nicolas Pastorino for translating this tutorial to english, and Paul Borgermans for his availability.
