DIH XPathEntityProcessor XPath subset?
Hi there,
I'm trying to index a wordpress site using DIH XPathEntityProcessor...
I've read it only supports a subset of XPath, but I couldn't find any
docs what exactly is supported.
After some painful trial and error, I've found that xpath expressions
like the following don't work:
<field column="title" name="mytitle"
xpath="/methodResponse/params/param/value/array/data/value/struct/member[name='post_title']/value/string"
/>
I want to find elements like this ("the 'value' element after a 'member'
element with a name element 'post_title'"):
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<array>
<data>
<value>
<struct>
<member><name>post_id</name><value><string>11809</string></value></member>
<member><name>post_title</name><value><string>Some
titel</string></value></member>
Unfortunately that is the default output structure of Wordpress' XMLrpc
calls.
My Xpath expression works e.g. when testing it with
https://www.freeformatter.com/xpath-tester.html but not if I try to
index it with Solr.... any ideas? Or do I have to pre-transform the XML
myself to match XPathEntityProcessors limited abilites?
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

There is at least one free Solr WP plugin. There are several Solr PHP
toolkits on github. Start with these unless your WP is wildly custo.. ..

If you pre-transform the XML, I’d personally recommend either transforming it into straight up Solr XML (docs/fields/values) or some other format or posting directly to Solr. Avoid this DIH thing when things get complicated.
