When changing SOLR’s schema, it is not enough to just change the file itself. Solr does not dynamically load the file. As long as no action is taken, the old schema will still be in effect. After updating the schema.xml you can either: Restart SOLR or Tomcat (depending on your configuration) Reload the core that [...]
Every morning do a refresh of all my repositories so that I know I don’t fall behind on the code if I need to solve some problem or continue developing. Doing this manually is not practical, and so I created a bash script to refresh all my repositories. While I was at it I added [...]
Today I can across an interesting change in the way Drupal 7 handles blocks created via modules. In a module I made, I defined a block using the hook_block_info and hook_block_view.
