Was this information Helpful?

Anyone know of an ubercart site that uses apachesolr?

Would like to know if it is possible to have attributes and options as facets?
Can't seem to find any documentation or examples on attributes and options being
facets. Since they are simply CCK fields, I assume it is possible, but would like
to see it in action.

Re: Ubercart & apachesolr anyone?

I don't know if they work with apachesolr or not, but attributes and options aren't CCK fields. Fields are additional data added to the node when it is created, but attributes and options are chosen by the customer when they add the product to the cart. The process of setting them both up is similar, but since they affect different parts of the node, and they use completely different modules, they are not the same.

Incaic,

I was just discussing this the other day. The current release of the apachesolr_ubercart module only integrates the price fields. It wouldn't be very difficult to add attributes.

@Lyle : Thanks for the

@Lyle : Thanks for the clarification.

@mikejoconner : Perfect! My next step was to look at the work you did with apachesolr_ubercart. Good to know that it's what I need. The project page says that it is still dev, but then no issues are found. Think it's safe enough for a live site?
