Share UI Integration?

[mosea3]

Hi guys,
OSS is very nice!
As a former web engineer and now solutions manager, I can say OSS is absolutely wonderful and a good alternative to the shut down Google Search Appliance.
So I adopted OSS in my company. It supports a lot of workflows.

As we operate part Windows/part Mac and not on Ubuntu Desktop, I implemented a few things extra for Browser Integration:

• PDF.js for PDF previews
• jQuery
• Fancybox 3 from fancyapps for browsing previews like the pdfs or Images in Preview Tab.
  -localexplorer: an already developed plugin for chrome, in order to open that file reference in a search result, locally in your PC, for editing purposes, rather than downloading a copy
  (In the command links below search result item, distinguishing between open, and open on PC)
  -localexplorer for Mac: I couldnt find such a plugin for Mac, so I wrote a simple AppleScript app doing the same.
  -Intro.js: a javascript highlighting-Get-started-with-Opensemantic Search Guide

Right now, I am integrating an ONLYOFFICE connector, so we do not depend on Microsoft (Online) anymore for previews and editing files like docx and xlsx.

Are you guys interested in having these feature in OSS‘s Solr PHP UI?
I could check it out, put my code in and then we can review the code in a a pull request to match existing code style and programming paradigmas?

Best regards

• If the fancybox licences are open source, an integration would be nice.

• PDF.js maybe, too so switching to next page within the same search result (which is now availale as segmented one page pdf for spare bandwith on massive pdfs so not the full pdf has to be downloaded), but i don't know how complicated to do a PR, since last weeks there was an PDF preview integration (as embed, since Firefox has PDF.js integration, too) in preview template, so this file changed.

• Office preview: I'm not sure yet how to do it, maybe the easiest way would be to use the nextcloud feature to convert such files to pdf, so the pdf preview could be used for that
