Customizing Solr GUI
Hi,
I want to customize Solr gui, and I learnt that the most popular options
are
1. Velocity- which is integrated with Solr. The format and options can be
customized
2. Project Blacklight
Pros and cons?
Secondly I read that one can delete data by just running a delete query in
the URL. Does either velocity or blacklight provide a way to disable this,
or provide any kind of security or access control- so that users can only
browse/search and admins can view the admin screen. How can we handle the
security aspect in Solr?

Give me access to your raw Solr URLs, and I can submit the following:
.../update?commit=ture&term.body=<delete><query>*:*<.query></delete>
which will remove all documents from your index. You really have to
take control of the requests you allow to get to Solr...
Best

So, building on this:
1) Velocity is an option for internal admin interface because it is
collocated with Solr and therefore does not 'hide' it
2) Blacklight is the (Rails-based) application layer and the Solr is
internal behind it, so it does provide the security.
Hope this helps to understand the distinction.

Alex.

Generally, your UI web pages should communicate with your own application
layer, which in turn communicates with Solr, but you should try to avoid
having Solr itself visible to the outside world.

Does the website have a middleware? As in, is it static website or
something served dynamically from PHP, Ruby, Java, etc? If the later,
then you do the same thing blacklight does: you run your Solr server
and your middleware talks to it over HTTP connection. Then, you have
to figure out how to get data into Solr, so you need to index the
content from the database/files/etc.
If your website is fully static, then you still need some sort of
middleware for search, as it is not Safe exposing Solr directly to
users.

Thanks a lot for the responses. Now Im sure I need blacklight.
Suppose I had a website designed using any other standard method- how would
I have embedded a solr search in it? Velocity & Blacklight are , as I
understand useful when you are building a system from scratch and can design
a new search specific GUI.
But what if I had a website, and i needed to embed solr search in it- how
would I have called solr queries from an existing website? Any tutorial
available for this?
A newbie, so please bear with me.
