To upgrade your ArcLight application:

rails generate arclight:update

Then, you will want to re-index all of your content -- see Indexing EAD in ArcLight for details. Also, you can look at our ArcLight MVP demo github repository for an example of the indexing strategy.

Common problems

  • If the upgrade changes the Solr configuration and you have your own instance of Solr (i.e., not using solr_wrapper), you will need to copy the solr/ configuration files manualy.

Integrating Advanced Search

The ArcLight MVP does not include an advanced search feature, but there is an advanced search plugin to Blacklight. See https://github.com/projectblacklight/arclight/issues/248 for a discussion on what's needed to use it.
