Hi Jesse,
Yes. We've started using some of the auto-fill options and currently
have the "Recently Added" one available at http://catalog.sage.eou.edu
and on the KPAC at http://catalog.sage.eou.edu/eg/kpac/home
- Have you installed the bookbag_update.pl script and made sure the
description field in the list has one of the updatetypes?
- Any errors when running the script? I know I had to put the
Mobiusutil.pm file in to get ours working.
https://github.com/mcoia/mobius_evergreen/blob/master/Mobiusutil.pm.
Check the perl modules?
- Make sure the bookbag id
(https://catalog.sage.eou.edu/eg/opac/myopac/lists?item_page=1;bbid=*1383951*)
is in the book_carousel.tt2 file (bbags = [1383951]) like Blake mentioned.
- Shared on the bookbag list is set to "Yes"
- Make sure your eg.conf or apache config files have the custom template
directive in the virtual host entry in if you haven't already/and are
using them. We were just using redirects like hood.sage.eou.edu, so we
had to create a few more templates:
<Location /eg>
PerlAddVar OILSWebTemplatePath
"/openils/var/templates_new_library"
</Location>
I would maybe try setting up a static list with some items you directly
add and then seeing if that displays before running the script?
If you're doing it for the KPAC -- we had to duplicate
/openils/var/web/opac/skin/default/js/carousel/basic.js and change this
line
<https://github.com/mcoia/mobius_evergreen/blob/master/bookbag_update/var/web/opac/skin/default/js/carousel/basic.js#L98>
to direct to the KPAC record instead of the OPAC's. I just named it
basic_kpac.js and then pointed to that file in the KPAC custom
book_carousel.tt2
<https://github.com/mcoia/mobius_evergreen/blob/master/bookbag_update/var/web/templates/opac/parts/book_carousel.tt2#L38>

Jesse,
Did you happen to get the code from Github?
https://github.com/mcoia/mobius_evergreen/tree/master/bookbag_update
There is a folder structure there intended to match the folder
structure in /openils
/openils/var/web/opac/skin/default/js/carousel
and
/openils/var/web/templates/opac/parts
The various files belong to various places. If you are using a
template override, book_carousel.tt2 needs to be in the base template
folder otherwise the template toolkit breaks.
Be sure and edit book_carousel.tt2 and replace the numbers with your
bookbag id numbers.
If you are getting nothing, then you might need to inspect the
resulting html page and look for
<div id="hidden_bb_info" class="hide_me">
Check to see if that div has any content. If not, the javascript stuff
isn't working. If it does, then take a careful look at your CSS. The
jquery plugin jcarousel is picky about the CSS. If you just use the
CSS example from Github, it should work but it never hurts to double
check.
I would be happy to take a look at what you have.

Hello All,
Has anyone implemented the Book Carousel that Mobius demoed at the
conference this year?
(http://slides.mobiusconsortium.org/blake/bookcarousel/#/1). I have
been going over the slides trying to implement this on our test
server with no luck so far. I have placed the appropriate .tt2 files
in their locations and created lists with our circulation account,
but nothing is showing up either in the lists or on our OPAC. Are
there additional instructions online somewhere that I am missing?
Extra details: we have four libraries running on our system and at
this point we are only looking to implement it for one.
Thanks!
