Welcome to the openy_activity_finder wiki!

In order to install Open Y and Activity Finder v4 you need to run command

composer create-project ymcatwincities/openy-project build --no-interaction --prefer-dist

Which will pull Open Y on Drupal 9 stable version with Activity Finder v4 latest stable version Then you should proceed with a regular installation with Demo content enabled as described in our tutorials. It’s better to setup Extended or Custom( only via drush ) in order to skip a bunch of manual steps

When you have Open Y installed, list of the command you need to run in order to enable Activity Finder v4

# Solr 8.8.1, Activity Finder v4
drush en -y search_api_solr_legacy openy_prgf_activity_finder_4 || true
drush en -dvy openy_prgf_af4_demo || true

After enabling the above modules you should visit /admin/config/search/search-api and obtain config.zip from preconfigured by Open Y Solr Server setup image

Hint: Open Y module's infrastructure supports SOLR versions 8 up to the latest 8.8.1 as well. Activity Finder is tested against Solr 8.8.1. In order to install Solr - check the documentation on Drupal.org. Solr versions prior 7.7 are End of Life, Open Y team is working on upgrading support for decent versions of Solr.

This configuration should be installed on your Solr 8.8.1 server as a independent core. it should be extracted to conf directory of a solr core

image

Once it is done - ensure the name of your core from core.properties file added to Solr Server config in Open Y image

Solr server configuration could be found in Dropdown at /admin/config/search/search-api image image

If you prefer drush configuration you may use commands below, just replace SOLR_CORE_IS_HERE with real core name

# Solr 8.8.1, Activity Finder v4

drush cset -y search_api.server.solr backend_config.connector_config.host 127.0.0.1 -y || true
drush cset -y search_api.server.solr backend_config.connector_config.core ${SOLR_CORE_IS_HERE} -y
drush cset -y search_api.server.solr backend_config.connector_config.solr_version 8 -y
drush search-api-mark-all || true
drush sapi-i || true

Once you done this you should see Solr Server as Index as Enabled on a /admin/config/search/search-api

If you installed Open Y with Demo content now it is time to create a Landing Page with the Activity Finder v4 component on it. In Open Y we have a specially created module which can this for you Enable openy_prgf_af4_demo by drush command

# Solr 8.8.1, Activity Finder v4
drush en -dvy openy_prgf_af4_demo || true

and you’d get /activity-finder-v4 Landing Page created automatically which should look like image

when you visited it. By visiting /activity-finder-v4?step=results or clicking on suggested buttons you should see results, activities with filters and all other functionality, shipped with Activity Finder v4 For the Demo content from OpenY, it should look like image See sandboxes

Activity Finder v3 also installed when you chose Custom Installation with Demo content and is part of demo content. Could be accessed via /activity-finder url See sandboxes
