Re: [VuFind-Tech] Combining search types

[<ha...@ub...>]

   That looks really good ! I personally prefer the drop-downs,
   but as you know, every fool is different.

   I am wondering about how to integrate a solr index (from a third party)
   which does not talk json but xml. By removing the wt=json 
   from Solr/Connector.php, I am able to receive a xml response 
   from the index, but then VuFind JSON decoding fails of course.
   Is that easy to handle (e.g. by some converter somewhere in the
   search backend) or should I go back to VuFind 1.x for that ?

   -- Goetz.

While the original 1.x Villanova code was hard-coded and messy, the new implementation is better-designed and fully configurable.  You can now set up multi-column result screens, tabbed search boxes, and flexible multi-purpose search type drop-downs.
