Unindex VirtualPage

[blpraveen]

Hi Marcus, Currently when re-indexing it indexes all the pages including Virtual Page. Which creates duplicates on the search result page.

I added this extension to uncheck ShowInSearch on VirtualPage whenever page is created.

  class ExtVirtualPage extends DataExtension {

     public function onBeforeWrite() {
       parent::onBeforeWrite();
       $this->owner->ShowInSearch = false;
     }
  }

There no option to unindex all Virtual Pages or Reindex excluding the Virtual Page.

Try toggling the ShowInSearch field before calling parent::onBeforeWrite. The SolrIndexable extension detects a change to that field and will unindex anything that has that set to false

    if ($this->owner->isChanged('ShowInSearch') && !$this->owner->ShowInSearch) {
        $this->searchService->unindex($this->owner);
    }

This extension call is triggered by the call made to parent::onBeforeWrite in the code you've pasted above, meaning that it happens before you're setting the flag to false.

Any new pages created will automatically unindex. How Do I unindex existing Virtual pages? By manually toggling all the pages. It is cumbersome to carry out this way. There are around 10000 page and I need to look for once virtual pages .

Do we need to build a task to unindex or is there any other way to undex all virtual pages There is no function unindexMultiple also.

What I am looking here is Specify Allowed_Search in each pages which need to reindex and index only those pages

Other way around is running a controller action to unindex all existing virtual pages

config.php

Director::addRules(100, array(
    'utility' => 'UpgradeUtilController'
));

controller

class UpgradeUtilController extends Controller
{
    static $allowed_actions = array(
        'unidex' => 'ADMIN',
    );

    function unidex(SS_HTTPRequest $request) {
        $page_type = $request->getvar('pagetype');
        if(ClassInfo::exists($page_type)) {
            $Pages = $page_type::get()->filter('ShowInSearch' , true);
            if($Pages) {
                foreach($Pages as $Page) {
                     try {
                        $Page->ShowInSearch  = false;
                        $Page->write();
                        $Page->publish('Stage', 'Live');
                        singleton('SolrSearchService')->unindex($Page);
                        echo "<p>Unset ShowInSearch: $Page->ID and indexed</p>";

                     } catch(Exception $e) { 
                        print_r($e->getMessage());  
                        print_r('<br/> Error: ');
                        print_r('<br/> PageID: ' . $Page->ID);
                        print_r('<br/>');

                     }
                }
            }
        }

    }

}
