Overview

FarCry Verity plugin provides configuration and management services for the ColdFusion implementation of Verity K2 server. This plugin replaces the legacy Verity configuration tools that were in core.

FarCry Verity Plugin requires a minimum of FarCry v4.07 to function.

Download

You can grab the code base from the FarCry subversion repository:
http://svn1.cvsdude.com/modius/farcry/plugins/farcryverity/trunk

Or a zip of the plugin on the FishEye site (bottom left):
http://fisheye3.cenqua.com/browse/farcrycms/plugins/farcryverity/trunk

Installation

Add farcryverity to your plugin list in the farcryinit tag of your project's Application.cfm:

<farcry:farcryInit 
  name="daemon" 
  dbType="mssql" 
  plugins="farcrycms,farcryverity,googleMaps" />

Then you need to configure the Verity collection storage path and hosts to be managed in your _serverSpecific Vars.cfm configuration file:

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true" />
<!--- setup environment variables for specific developers/machines/servers --->
<cfset machineName = createObject("java", "java.net.InetAddress").localhost.getHostName() />

<!-------------------------------------------- 
PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
--------------------------------------------->
<!--- set verity plugin config --->
<cfset application.stplugins.farcryverity.storagePath="C:\Inetpub\verity\collections" />
<cfset application.stplugins.farcryverity.lhosts = machinename />

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="false" />

Then simply reinitialise your application and login to the webtop. You'll find the administration screens under: ADMIN > Verity Plugin

Verity Default Configuration If you don't specify a collection path and lhosts you will get the following defaults: collection path; C:\coldfusionverity\collections lhosts; createObject("java", "java.net.InetAddress").localhost.getHostName()

Features

FarCry Verity allows you to set up a specific collection for each content type, defining exactly which properties should be searchable. In addition, there are features to allow multiple servers in a cluster manage their own collections, replicating/synchronising the verity configurations. Sample search code is provided, although many users will want to develop their own search interfaces. The plugin also provides logging and reporting of search activity.
