Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need help with asset.copy.transparancy

The patron records go in just fine but we're having major issues getting our bib and holdings records to load. When we dump our MARC records through mangle_marc.pl it looks like we have good records coming out. The Hmm, I'm not familiar with mangle_marc.pl. records appear to go in but then we can't find any of the records in Evergreen. This is a common problem. See https://answers.launchpad.net/evergreen/+question/86623 for one attempt to diagnose it. From the OPAC, it could be caused by anything from not having call numbers and copies attached to the bib records, or being attached but not in opac-visible copy locations / libraries / statuses. From the staff client, records should generally be retrievable once they've been imported; if they're not visible, then it's likely that the import went wrong. We're thinking that if anyone could explain asset.copy_transparancy and asset_copy_transparancy_map tables for us it might help. I think Jason Etheridge answered this for you in IRC, but for the mailing list, these tables had been intended to overlay (like a transparency on top of paper) temporary values on a copy without changing those copy attributes. If I recall correctly, he also said that the tables are unused and should probably be removed from the database schema. So.. a dead end / red herring.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] mobile OPAC functionality in 2.0
Thanks for the feedback, Kathy. I'll work on getting more info on the issues that KCLS has run into so that people have a better idea of where the problem spots were for them and when it was an Evergreen issue, skin issue, or something else. Lori On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 11:03 AM, Kathy Lussier kluss...@masslnc.orgwrote: Hi Lori, I think it would be useful to see the KCLS skin in a public repository, but it would also be helpful to know where the trouble spots have been with the skin and with the new functionality. For example, we noticed that faceting was turned off soon after KCLS went live. Is it a problem with the way faceting works with the KCLS skin or is it a general problem with faceting that will continue to appear when sites start using the default skin in 2.0? It would help us understand which pieces of the KCLS OPAC we may want to adapt for our own use and which pieces we may want to avoid.

To be honest, I'm not clear what is involved in the skin or the skinning process and it appears my guess was wrong. At any rate, I'm happy to pursue publication of the skin that was developed if people think that would be useful as is. I'll let you know what I find out.

After many attempts at fixes and tweaks, the KCLS and Equinox folks are looking are completely rewriting the Evergreen OPAC. Note that it's not just the KCLS and Equinox folks, although they might have a contractual relationship. As a project we probably should have started this effort some time ago - we kicked the idea around a number of times - however, there were many other fish to fry and not many friers, and the current OPAC works well enough for most of us (even with the performance concerns) that it didn't became a high enough priority (outside of experimental efforts like the plain-HTML social interface). This is ultimately really good news because all that great new functionality will then be part of Evergreen (no skinning required). Well, skinning will always be required, unless libraries want to live with the default Evergreen logo and text and colours and layout... Unless by skinning you mean something like stripping all of the site-specific information from the surface of an interface, which is the opposite of what the term normally means but actually might be appropriate in the KCLS case. I'd still like to see the KCLS skin get published in a repository somewhere, as (unless the skin itself is exacerbating the performance problems at KCLS) the design elements that many oohed and aahed over so many months ago could still be a nice contribution to the project. The bad news is that might take a while. If we tackle it as a high priority, rapid iteration effort, then we should be able to knock out large blocks of functionality relatively quickly. If pages and pages of formal specs need to be written first, signed off on, etc, before any code gets written, then that will take a lot longer. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant The Galecia Group // www.galecia.com http://www.galecia.com/ (707) 763-6869 // lori.a...@galecia.com mailto:lori.a...@galecia.com Specializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering, workflow optimization, and materials handling =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Lori Bowen Ayre // Library Technology Consultant The Galecia Group // www.galecia.com (707) 763-6869 // lori.a...@galecia.com lori.a...@galecia.comSpecializing in open source ILS solutions, RFID, filtering, workflow optimization, and materials handling =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] OpenSRF
Hi, I am trying to install the evergreen ils. I have been successful up until the point of adding the following code: 1. useradd -m -s /bin/bash opensrf 2. passwd opensrf I get the following message: passwd: You may not view or modify password information for opensrf. And because I have not set a password, I am not able to login as the openSRF user to continue the building process. Any suggestions?
