[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] new marc templates
Dear community,
We have upgraded to Evergreen 2.2 and are currently configuring it. We want
to add some new marc templates but are unable to do it. First, we have
created a marc template (k_serial.xml)and located it in the
openils/var/templates directory. Then, we have edited the opensrf.xml
document to reflect these changes. We have simply added this string
marctemplates
K_serial/openils/var/templates/marc/k_book.xml/K_serial
/marctemplates
in the tag
-
app_settings
/app_settings
-
where the code for default template k_book was included. Finally, we
restarted the software. Yet, this new template have not appeared in the drop
menu and what is more, afterwards when we tried to create a new MARC record
Eevergreen begun to report an error (when we cancel the described
modifications, everything starts to work again.) Below you can find the
error text
Network or server failure. Please check your Internet connection to
93.187.162.217 and choose Retry Network. If you need to enter Offline Mode,
choose Ignore Errors in this and subsequent dialogues. If you believe this
error is due to a bug in Evergreen and not network problems, please contact
your help desk or friendly Evergreen administrators, and give them this
information:

Any ideas? Can you suggest us another way to add marc templates?
Thanks in advance,

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] new marc templates
Araik,
In opensrf.xml you should have a line to represent each marc template you
wish to display in the staff client. For example, to have both a book and a
serial template choice you would have the following:
marctemplates
K_book/openils/var/templates/marc/k_book.xml/K_book
K_serial/openils/var/templates/marc/k_serial.xml/K_serial
/marctemplates
Hope this helps,

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] new marc templates
Araik,
I would revert back to the previous (working) opensrf.xml file and then
re-check your changes to register that new template.
Alternately, re-check your template file code to ensure it's valid XML.
Another way you can test this is by backing up an already existing default
template that is working with default opensrf.xml settings, and then replace
the template with your new template code. If it generates an error (after
restarting relevant services) you know that it's not your opensrf.xml settings
syntax (but probably bad xml in the template). If the template works, then you
know your previously made changes to opensrf.xml are the likely cause.
Whenever we've worked with templates, most errors tend to be bad XML
(especially if your working in an editor that's not validating xml).
Hope that helps,
George

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FW: [TECHTALK] evergreen macro codes
Got the following question. I think the answer is: No, at this point, having the patron privilege expiration date on the check out receipt is not possible. Is that right?

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Announcement of FulfILLment testing pilot project
The Pacific Library Partnership, consisting of three libraries in California, has contracted with Equinox Software, Inc. to test FulfILLment. The partnership consists of Los Gatos Public Library, Peninsula Library System (the city of San Mateo only), and Santa Cruz Public Library. These libraries currently use Koha, Millennium, and Evergreen as their ILS. Lori Bowen Ayre, The Galecia Group, is serving as a consultant on this project as part of the Open Source - Open Libraries project. The partners will be testing FulfILLment to see if it can meet their requirements for managing physical item resource sharing between independent library systems. FulfILLment was developed by Equinox developers with funding from OHIONET and other development partners including: the State Libraries of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and WiLS. It is anticipated that FulfILLment version 1.0-RC1 will be available in the spring/summer of 2013. FulfILLment is generally described as an open source ILL software, but it is so much more. It is an open source, regional resource-sharing system between disparate ILS. It was designed to bridge otherwise incompatible software products so that different libraries can continue to use their current ILS while obtaining many benefits enjoyed by libraries using Evergreen in resource-sharing consortia. The development of LAIs (Local Automation Integrator) in FulfILLment makes this possible by allowing the participating libraries to obtain bibliographic and other relevant information from each library's current automation system and making this information accessible over the internet. FulfILLment is also scalable. If necessary, new custom LAIs can be developed in future versions of FulfILLment to allow even more libraries to join and enjoy all that FulfILLment has to offer. -- Suzannah Lipscomb Project Manager Equinox Software, Inc. 877.
