DotNetNuke+Apache Solr=High Speed Enterprise Search

We have successfully implemented Apache Solr as a Search Solution for DotNetNuke.

Here's the summary on how we did it.

First we installed BitNami Apache Solr Stack to our test machine(Windows 7).

We change the Solr Schema to fit our needs.  

We build a DNN Scheduler to add/edit/delete documents to Solr using Solrnet.

After we are done indexing,  we created a search class to query Solr Webservice using Solrnet.

Now we have an Intelligent and Fast Search. :)

FYI: Solr has a cool Dashboard that will let you check if your documents are being index properly or do some test query.

I will find time to share actual source code in the near future.

Regards

Simple Color Picker - a jQuery color picker control

It's been a while since I build this small plugin for jQuery, While browsing through my files I try to see if this plugin still works with the latest version of jQuery which is 1.3.2 and it did. I have updated the sample and change the file names so it is easy to recognize. I also move the downloads to my google site, Download here . Focus on the input box below or click on the box next to the control to show color picker. Basic Sample jQuery(function($) { $("#vtrColorPicker").attachColorPicker(); }); Change Background jQuery(function($) { $("#vtrColorPicker1").attachColorPicker(); $("#vtrColorPicker1").change(function() { $("#content-wrapper").css("background-color",$("#vtrColorPicker1").getValue()); });

dnnAlert and dnnConfirm jQuery Plugin

I like the idea of using jQuery Plugins in DNN for interactive and consistent user interface which is why I digg into using dnnAlert and dnnConfirm plugins, however after a quick look on the documentation I notice the following. For dnnAlert you can't set the title. We are allowed to set the OK button text using okText option but not the dialog title? For dnnConfirm. This is very usefull when you just want a confirmation dialog upon click on your button or link however you can't use it like javascript confirm function or at least I don't know how to use it like below: if(confirm('Question?')){//some code}

A javascript library for formatting and manipulating numbers.

Numeral.js , while less complex, was inspired by and heavily borrowed from  Moment.js  so if you have use momentjs before you should be familiar with this library. Numbers can be formatted to look like currency, percentages and more. How to use: numeral(1000).format('0,0') returns 1,000 numeral(1230974).format('0.0a') returns 1.2m numeral(1000.234).format('$0,0.00') returns $1,000.23 numeral(1230974).format('($ 0.00 a)') returns $ 1.23 m numeral(1).format('0%') returns 100% numeral(0.974878234).format('0.000%') returns 97.488% For more sample and options go to  http://numeraljs.com/ .
