: In looking into how to replace get-file.jsp and how to have an upload : page for /update and /update/csv, I stumbled on the idea that we could : have the list of options for what is displayed in the admin interface : configured in solrconfig.xml.
blast from the past ... this is reminding me of a brainstorming session i had with some CNET folks back before Solar became Apache Solar ... notes from that meeting eventually made there way here... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/MakeSolrMoreSelfService ...in general, i think you're on the right track. the one big adition i would make is to ensure that external links are supported as well, and that some arbitrary text can be included verbatim on the admin screen. (and of course: if none of this info is in the <admin> block, we need the old defaults still in index.jsp for backwards compatibility) -Hoss
