Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Where do the MARC templates come from?

[Brent Mills]

Hi Jennifer,

I would also make sure your custom, non-default templates (if you’re using 
them) have the included *.xml files in the /openils/var/templates_custom/marc 
directory and that there aren’t any typos in the XML files and the filenames.

My first check would be to make sure the files are actually there and don’t 
have mangled names, then move on to further troubleshooting.

For additional templates, Jason Stephenson generously made some of MVLC’s 
templates available 

 a while back.

[Walz, Jennifer]

Rogan,

As always, you are very helpful!   I just need sometimes to be pointed in the 
right direction.  I’ll do some more fishing around…

Thanks!

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,

By default they live on the server at /openils/var/templates/marc

There is more good information here about them:  
https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=evergreen-admin:customization:cat

You can certainly create new ones.  A year or two ago I did some searching 
around and found where several other consortiums had shared their own 
collections they had made (because I'd rather re-use than re-invent).  There is 
probably more information on the wiki and/or checking irc logs assuming you've 
already searched email histories.

As for why that function doesn't exist in the staff client?  The short answer 
is that no one has prioritized it high enough to commit the development 
resources to it.

Right now, when we go to “Cataloging” > “Create new MARC Record” we see several

one that we used to use, we are getting a Network Error.

Any assistance is helpful.

Thanks!
