Upgrading Search API Solr 4.3.1 on Pantheon

I recently needed to update Search API Solr to 4.3.1 and I ran into some issues and I wasn't immediately clear on how to resolve them.

To be clear, while I've used Search API Solr for a while now, it's pretty much a black box to me.  I have always gotten the results I've needed by following various tutorials and documentation, and just enough experimentation that it just seems to work like magic.

It's time for a change

I've been building Scott Sawyer Consulting since 2005, surviving the Great Recession and enjoying many years of growth.  In that time, I've met a lot of wonderful people, worked on exciting projects, and enjoyed taking part in the success of my customers.  It's been an amazing journey, and my absolute pleasure to serve so many small businesses and non-profits over the last 15 years.  

AOA Racing

AOA Racing wanted rebrand to show off their success as an endurance racing team and highlight their racing school. Top priorities included an easier way to add content and manage their events calendar.

David Wyche

Scott is a true professional and works to keep his client's best interest in mind. Scott exhibits great patience along with his knowledge of web development and strategy and is able to articulate technical details in a very clear and concise way. Our overall experience with Scott on the development of our website was definitely positive and we additionally contracted with Scott to preform the maintenance of our website moving forward. A true pleasure to work with.

The Travel Store

When first formed, The Travel Store began building a database to manage all of this critical information, however, they could not foresee all the complexities that could arise over their 30 years.  Eventually that database turned into 2 databases, then they added a calendaring application, and over time, more applications were added to their processes.  Over time, their business processes became so complex, more administrative layers were needed just to ensure everything was accounted for.  Every detail of each trip was printed and placed in a folder.  Changes were difficult to manage, communication was difficult to achieve. Their business processes were impeding their ability to grow,

TrueGolfFit

The folks at MyGolfSpy, the owners of TrueGolfFit, are experts at golf, testing dozens of new clubs each year.  They decided to put all this testing to use and bring golf club fitting to the masses at an affordable price. We built a Drupal 8 application that analyzes tens of thousands of data points to provide golf club recommendations to thousands of golf players around the world.

DrupalCamp Atlanta 2020

DrupalCamp ATL, like every thing this year, was a bit different.  The folks that organize the conference did a hell of a job pulling off a remote conference.  So proud of those people.

I was really pleased with how many people attended the sessions, some sessions had nearly 200 attendees!

Anyway, I was honored once again to present, this time it was on Entity Reference Layout ( Layout Paragraphs ).  There were some great questions at the end.  I really enjoy the opportunity to share experiences with the community and learn from everyone else.  Such a great crowd.
