Course Reserves unpopulated #20

Closed patrickzurek closed 8 years ago

JIRA issue created by: Jessica Gibson (gibsonjc) Originally opened: 2016-01-25 01:27 PM

The Course Reserves pages are present but there are no data in the dropdown menus.

Example: https://vufind2-test.carli.illinois.edu/all/vf-uiu/Search/Reserves (Compare with: http://vufind.carli.illinois.edu/vf-uiu/Search/Reserves)

https://vufind.org/wiki/configuration:course_reserves says this function is controlled by the ILS driver.

This feels to me like it falls under the beta test requirement question "can I search for stuff?"

Copying text from email on this issue:

Thanks for finding this, Brandon.

Seems like a possible thing to consider after Beta release.

We'd need to extract course reserves data (CSV format) ourselves, though. Probably not difficult to do, but it's an additional step we'd need to do since VuFind2 requires support in the ILS Driver for extraction; our current ILS driver obviously does not support this since it's ILS-independent/agnostic. At least we should be able to use the supplied index_reserves.php script to actually load our CSV files into Solr (via the -f option).

Looks like Course Reserves is currently disabled for all schools in our server: https://vufind.org/wiki/configuration:course_reserves

; Enable/Disable searching reserves using the "reserves" Solr core.

When enabling ; this feature, you also need to uncomment the relevant line in solr/solr.xml and ; restart Solr to enable the reserves core, and you need to run the ; util/index_reserves.php script to populate the new index. [Reserves] search_enabled = false

I commented-out the "Course Reserves" link in the footer. I believe this should "solve" the beta requirement. Later when we index this data we can then reinstate the link.
