vufind's Issues

transparency of autocomplete search

The search box autocomplete is transparent and bleeding into the page content. Seen most often when typing a search in the catalog

Add more citation formats

Add cleanup methods

Until VuFind releases updates that fix the problem with the DeleteRecordIfEmpty not working, will implement some post indexing cleanup that removes all items marked for deletion and all items with no titles.

implement phrase searching

Multiple words should search as a phrase.

Add functionality so searches will also bring back a link suggestion

This is similar to Pixel so when someone enters a search if it matches an entry in "pixe;" a suggestion would appear along with the search results.

icon for proceeding

Use this one for proceeding for EBSCO results

Add book covers using Google API

Display issue

If you are reporting an issue, or have a question regarding the search, please indicate the following
in addition to describing the problem:

The record type in question (mark all if it pertains to all, or is a combined search issue)

• [x ] EDS
• Catalog (includes ContentDM)
• [ x] LibGuides

This problem/question pertains to

• searching/queries (example, advanced searches, how to do proximity search, etc..)
• [ x] Result sets. (browse or search results)

Update CSS to v3.1

The compiled CSS for the unl theme needs to be updated to version 3.1
This will hopefully fix a number of lightbox issues where the text overflows the boxes and the exclusion links are missing from the filters

multiple tabs for multiple locations

It is possible to have multiple tabs display for holdings. For example, journal of virology has a lot of volumes it would be easier to read if the CYT and Docs facility were on two separate tabs instead of one.

When I clicked on the “Similar Items” tab at the bottom of a record using Explorer, a bunch of blank icons appeared (small boxes with x’s in them)

Example url is http://vufind-dev.unl.edu/vufind/Record/b1278252#similar

(Reported by Sue Ann Gardner)

remove proxy rewrite for down time

remove the proxy rewrite information from the URL's for our potential downtime.

duplicated marc information

a number of records, such as b1269447 have duplicated marc information. This is due to a poorly designed sql query in the marc_harvest code (which hasn't been committed yet). Records with multi locations returned too many location results for the location fields and need to be combined for indexing or reduced to 'multi'.

alternate title breaks contentdm

Views of contentdm records are broken. The error log reports

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method VuFind\\RecordDriver\\SolrDefault::getAltTitles() in /usr/local/vufind2/themes/unl/templates/RecordDriver/SolrDefault/core.phtml on line 95

Both servers report that the function exists in module/VuFind/src/VuFind/RecordDriver/SolrMarc.php

I can see alternate titles show up though on the regular catalog records, the error only is thrown on the image and multimedia records. I would have suspected because they weren't stored as marc it would be an error, just not that error.

holdings - checked out anomalies

Some electronic resources available on the internet are displaying as checked out.
Browse by call number in the M's - Music to see some of these.

bib record that is cut-off

This record is being truncated: http://cors1204.unl.edu/vufind/Record/4313407

It is also truncated in Sierra so I wonder if you can even get the full record using the API? This was II's answer to our question:
Your observation about the headings that come further down in the list of 700 fields is right on the money. Apparently there's some architectural limit to the number of fields and index entries per field group in a record, beyond which all bets are off for expected behavior. The limits are >127 fields or >62 index entries, and sure enough, what you report starts happening with 700 field #63 (the one for Rachmaninoff, Sergei, 1873-1943. Preludes, piano, op. 32. No. 8). The oddness here is that the system has no trouble indexing these entries -- it just can't reliably pull them out of the index for proper display in WebPAC. It's not just in record browses and "best title"; it happens in index browses as well, although the manifestation is slightly different.

Unfortunately, I first learned of this limitation when reporting the index browse issue, and was told by Product Development that although the limitation is something that should be reevaluated at some point, they were not able to devote resources to doing so anytime soon; that bug report was closed as "won't fix," and the next report I tried to submit was dismissed with what amounted to a "don't bother." Long way of saying that there's nothing that can be done to correct this situation, and not a lot of hope that that will ever change.

Add export citation option for articles

add location facet

location_str is now in the solr index, so we can use that to create a location facet.

java garbage collection slowing solrmarc indexing

The java indexing process has ground to a halt in the middle of indexing our full marc record files.

location display issues

Some locations are displaying as "location_".
This should be fixed to either show nothing if it isn't a valid location to display to the user, or mappings need adjusting for the locations.

Journal of Zoology

If you are reporting an issue, or have a question regarding the search, please indicate the following
in addition to describing the problem:

http://vufind-dev.unl.edu/vufind/Record/b4286440
The title Journal of Zoology b42864409 has multiple 856 fields in the catalog with one record. When I search Vufind there are two records with no 856 fields. It looks like it got merged at time point but hasn't been synced, but why no links?

It appears that the MARC export I did doesn't include the fields. I have an example if you want to look at it. However I also have an example where it did include the 856.

Getting an error on this record

http://vufind-dev.unl.edu/vufind/EITRecord/676931-72 note this is for an abstract also.

tags

I can add a tag but they don't seem to be searchable, can they be searched?

index journal titles

This is the index rule for journal title so we need to index the 222 field subfields abpn in a separate index.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC OTHER TI(u) 222 KEEP abpn JOURNAL TITLE(j)
subfields are:
a key title
b qualifying information (like a place name)
p part name
n number
for example: 245 00$aJournal of polymer science.$nPart B,$pPolymer letters.

Here is an example marc record:

EIT search error

Problem in EIT found in log file:
Undefined index: au in /vufind2/module/VuFind/src/VuFind/RecordDriver/EIT.php on line 262

Don't know if it's a configuration error or a versioning problem yet.

Save to List doesn't work from browse/search results

Save to List does not work from the result in a search or browse result set. Only when you go into a record does it work.

Change institution for catalog records

Change the institution for the Catalog records from "University of Nebraska" to "University of Nebraska Catalog and Databases".

This requires either reindexing the entire catalog, or running field updates on Solr.

add Web of science to EBSC search results

There is an API for Web of Science: http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/products/related/webservices/ws_faq/?utm_source=false&utm_medium=false&utm_campaign=false

Authorized use statement missing from database record view

The statement that should show the data in the authUsers_str solr field is missing from the record views of the database records (eresources).

I have verified that the function exists in the SolrMarc file of our UNL module, and the code is in the core.phtml file of our template to call it:
<!-- authorized user note --> <? if (method_exists($this->driver, 'getAuthorizedUserNote')):?> <? $authNote = $this->driver->getAuthorizedUserNote()?> <? if (!empty($authNote)):?> <tr> <th>Authorized Users</th> <td> <?=$this->escapeHtml($authNote)?> </td> </tr> <? endif; ?> <? endif;?>

open to search within results

What do you think about the idea to add an option to search within the results for a title?

need to add webbridge button to catalog records

Implement similar to classic catalog so the links appear like they do on bib records in the catalog. They should display the call number locator, etc. in the vufind bib record

099 call numbers seemed to be indexed as LC call numbers

Not sure how the call numbers are indexed but it appears that 099 are being included with 050 and 090 as lc call numbers. This makes the browse by call numbers a problem. We probably need to look into this at some point.

Check modules for version 3.1

Reserves import error

@mlitwa The code in the ILS Sierra driver (ours is https://github.com/unl-libraries/vufind/blob/master/local/module/VuFind/src/VuFind/ILS/Driver/UNLSierra.php - line 319) throws errors on the coursenum variable is undefined. Need help figuring this out.

public function findReserves($course, $instructor, $department) { try { if ($course != null) { $coursenum = $course; } elseif ($instructor != null) { // This deals with the "fake ID" hack explained in the getInstructors // function $instructor = explode("-", $instructor); $coursenum = $instructor[0]; } $query = "SELECT DISTINCT bib_view.record_num " . "FROM sierra_view.bib_view " . "INNER JOIN sierra_view.bib_record_item_record_link " . "ON (bib_view.id = bib_record_item_record_link.bib_record_id) " . "INNER JOIN sierra_view.course_record_item_record_link " . "ON (course_record_item_record_link.item_record_id = " . "bib_record_item_record_link.item_record_id) " . "INNER JOIN sierra_view.varfield_view " . "ON (course_record_item_record_link.course_record_id = " . "varfield_view.record_id) " . "WHERE varfield_view.record_num = $1;"; $results = pg_query_params($this->db, $query, [$coursenum]); while ($resultArray = pg_fetch_row($results)) { $bareNumber = $resultArray[0]; $fullNumber = $this->createFullId($bareNumber); $reserves[]['BIB_ID'] = $fullNumber; } return $reserves; } catch (\Exception $e) { throw new ILSException($e->getMessage()); } }

I tracked the call to this function to line 152 in the master code of vufind utilities for reserves
(https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/master/module/VuFindConsole/src/VuFindConsole/Controller/UtilController.php) says:
try { // Connect to ILS and load data: $catalog = $this->getILS(); $instructors = $catalog->getInstructors(); $courses = $catalog->getCourses(); $departments = $catalog->getDepartments(); $reserves = $catalog->findReserves('', '', ''); } catch (\Exception $e) { return $this->indexReservesHelp($e->getMessage()); }

I can't figure how the empty string parameters are supposed to work in this case.

Have eresources go to the top of the results list

Fix holdings illiad request url

The holdings URL for Illiad requests needs to be fixed around line 146 of the UNL theme template

themes/unl/templates/RecordTab/holdingsils.phtml

Needs to account for the new multi-valued authors and be updated to version 3 of vufind which changes the holdings format

harvest digital commons

Unknown formats

Many records are coming through with an unknown format - too many to ignore. Several of them may indicate there are other problems with the import (records that shouldn't be in there, - order records with no items, etc...)

Changes to make from the communication group

• Can the call number display in the holdings tab on the bib record?
• Can you change the main page display so that Browse by Call Number, Browse by Language and Browse by Subjects section is below Search options, Find More and Need Help?
• Change Database tab to Database List
• Change Ask a Librarian to ASKus and have the link go to libraries.unl.edu/askus-1
• Remove FAQs (doesn’t go anywhere)
• , Joanie is going to supply some working that would go in the red band across the top in the red band, something like “The Libraries primary server is down from Dec. 21-22. You can still search for books and databases using this emergency catalog. Links to licensed resources like database and e-journals will only work if you are searching from on-campus.”
