Blacklight Add ons

Stable Add-ons

A number of add-ons are housed in the ProjectBlacklight github area, and all Blacklight developers have commit rights on them, so they are more or less 'officially supported' (although some may not have received attention in a while if developers have been busy. Feel free to ask on the list for current status).

This includes an advanced search plugin; a CQL search plugin; and a fancy GUI date range limit plugin.

Look around in the Blacklight github area for these: https://github.com/projectblacklight

RSolr Footnotes is useful for debugging, to see the request/response sent to Solr via RSolr: [Integration with Rails Footnotes]

(Not all 'stable' add-ons neccesarily need to be in Blacklight github areas; if others come to exist that the community deems stable, feel free to add them here.)
