Search API Opensolr 2.3.0 and 2.4.0: Opensolr Takes Over Maintenance, Admin Fatal Error Fixed, New Four-Step Setup

· Drupal Module · Improvement · All updates

The Search API opensolr module — the drop-in Search API Solr connector for Opensolr — is now maintained by the Opensolr team. Two releases followed: 2.3.0 fixes the failure modes people actually hit, and 2.4.0 replaces the setup flow.

01 2.3.0 — maintenance handover and the admin fatal error

  • Admin fatal error fixed. The module could throw a fatal error on its admin screens when the Opensolr API was unreachable or when an API key had been changed. It no longer does.
  • Key module integration is now explicit opt-in. Installing the Key module for something unrelated no longer breaks your stored credentials.
  • Ready for Drupal 12.
Drop-in update: run database updates after upgrading.

02 2.4.0 — a four-step guided setup

The module's "Get started" tab is now a four-step guide that ticks off what you have already done, so you can see where you are rather than guessing.

1. Account free, no expiry 2. Credentials email + API key 3. Autoconfigure index + server 4. Index Search API, as usual
Create your Opensolr account, paste your email and API key, let Autoconfigure create the index and Search API server, then add your Search API index.

The old in-Drupal registration wizard, which relied on a retired API, has been removed.
