Blacklight Add ons

Stable Add-ons

A few add-ons are are more or less 'officially supported', and all Blacklight developers have commit rights on them. (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):

• Advanced search plugin
• CQL search plugin
• a fancy GUI date range limit plugin.

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.)
