Drupal Theming - Bootstrap Import errors - import not found or unreadable: bootstrap.

here was the error

error sass/bootstrap/test/dummy_sass_only/import_all.sass (Line 1: File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap.

Load paths:

  */sites/all/themes/*/sass

  /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/compass-0.12.2/frameworks/blueprint/stylesheets

  /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/compass-0.12.2/frameworks/compass/stylesheets   Compass::SpriteImporter)

The fix was to change this line in /sites/all/themes/my_theme/sass/custom.scss

@import 'bootstrap/assets/stylesheets/*';

to 

@import 'bootstrap/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap’;

Adding Excerpts to Solr Search Results - Including attachments

First off I’m going to address the question ‘ How to Add Excerpts to the Solr Search API ‘ .

This is worthy of note as the obvious way is to do it through the Search API UI; when in fact this method needs to be disabled and instead edited on the Solr Server Settings ‘ Still within Search API setting ‘ 

Step-by-step guide

1. Check the following is disabled.

> admin > configuration > filters > under ‘Processors

> check that ‘Highlighting’ is unticked

>  SAVE SETTINGS

 > admin > configuration > 'Your Server' > edit

2. 

> under 'Advanced' > tick 'Return an excerpt for all results.'

> 'Save settings’

3. Then in your view for the search you have add ‘Search: Excerpt’  Field. 

Adding an excerpt from an Attachment 

There’s is a bug with Search API and Excerpts; currently there is a patch which isn’t on the development release. Go to this page to get this
