Solr Configuration

The Solr integration in the ServiceBW extension allows indexing and searching of service portal content. It covers indexer configuration and logging configuration related to Solr.

The extension supports the integration of the following content into a Solr search:

  • Organizational Units (Organisationseinheiten)
  • Life Situations (Lebenslagen)
  • Services (Leistungen)

Here are the steps to include default configuration to your TypoScript configuration.

  1. Root page where solr is configured

    You have to insert the TypoScript template where the solr is configured.

  2. Create TypoScript template

    Switch to template module and choose the specific page from above in the pagetree. Choose Click here to create an extension template from the right frame. In the TYPO3 community it is also known as "+ext template".

  3. Add static template

    Choose Info/Modify from the upper selectbox and then click on Edit the whole template record button below the little table. On tab Includes locate the section Include static (from extension). Use the search above Available items to search for service_bw2. Hopefully there will be a record Service BW2 - Search available. Choose it, to move that record to the left.

  4. Save

    If you want you can give that template a name on tab "General", save and close it.

  5. Constant Editor

    Choose Constant Editor from the upper selectbox.

  6. service_bw2 constants

    Choose PLUGIN.TX_SERVICEBW2 from the category selectbox to show just service_bw2 related constants

  7. Configure constants

    Adapt the constants to your needs. We prefer to set all these detail page constants for solr indexing.

  8. Configure TypoScript

    As constants will only allow modifying a fixed selection of TypoScript you also switch to Info/Modify again and click on Setup. Here you have the possibility to configure all service_bw2 related configuration.

Indexing Configuration

Here are the included solr indexing configuration included with the extension.

plugin.tx_solr.index.queue {
  tx_servicebw2_organisationsEinheiten {
    indexer {
      detailPage = {$plugin.tx_servicebw2.solr.organisationsEinheiten.detailPage}
    }
    fields {
      title = name
      content = processed_textbloecke
      organisationseinheit_textM = processed_organisationseinheit

        typolink.additionalParams.insertData = 1
        typolink.useCacheHash = 1
        typolink.returnLast = url
      }
    }
  }

        typolink.additionalParams.insertData = 1
        typolink.useCacheHash = 1
        typolink.returnLast = url
      }
    }
  }

The above configuration is related to the TYPO3 extension Solr, which is used for integrating Solr search functionality into a TYPO3 website. Let's break down the configuration:

Indexing Configuration

Three distinct Solr index queues are defined:

  • tx_servicebw2_organisationsEinheiten
  • tx_servicebw2_lebenslagen
  • tx_servicebw2_leistungen

Each index queue includes specific settings under the indexer section, notably the detailPage setting, which specifies the detail page for the corresponding content type.

Field Mapping

For each index queue, the fields section dictates the mapping of fields from TYPO3 content to Solr fields. Key mappings include:

  • title and content: Mapping to standard Solr fields.
  • organisationseinheit_textM: A custom field for organizational units.
  • url: Dynamically generated URLs for linking to content in the Solr index.

URL Generation

The url field for each index queue is configured using TypoScript's TEXT object. This allows for the dynamic generation of URLs based on specified typolink parameters. These URLs are included in the Solr index for enhanced navigation.

Logging Configuration

Logging settings are configured for each index queue to facilitate monitoring during the Solr indexing process. The logging is activated for the following index queues:

  • tx_servicebw2_organisationsEinheiten
  • tx_servicebw2_lebenslagen
  • tx_servicebw2_leistungen

Content Types Covered

This configuration is tailored for the ServiceBW extension and covers the following content types for Solr indexing:

  • tx_servicebw2_organisationsEinheiten: Organizationalal Units
  • tx_servicebw2_lebenslagen: Life Situations
  • tx_servicebw2_leistungen: Services

By following this configuration, the Solr extension ensures that relevant content fields are accurately mapped, URLs are dynamically generated, and indexing actions are logged for monitoring purposes.
