[Evergreen-admin] Adding a new facet

[Lazar, Alexey Vladimirovich]

Hello again.

My facet problem was solved after upgrading to 2.5.4. The step I previously missed was:

sudo -u opensrf /openils/bin/autogen.sh

which, among other things, does "Updating Facet Definitions “. So now, my facet links work and produce results.

So, a general outline for adding a facet is something like:

1. Create the new facet in the DB, similar to http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=documentation:facet_idx_def_example, but configured for the custom need
2. Configure the config.tt2 to display the new facet in the OPAC, as described on http://en.flossmanuals.net/evergreen-in-action/enabling-users-to-find-what-theyre-looking-for/
3. Run autogen.sh, like sudo -u opensrf /openils/bin/autogen.sh

Also, if the meta index has not been rebuilt including the tag that is used for the new facet, a reingest may be needed, see http://blog.mvlcstaff.org/2013/12/parallel-metabib-reingest-in-evergreen.html.

It was fairly simple to configure and I ran it safely on live systems without affecting the system operations, only taking a few hours (although I did have to mitigate the excessive WAL log issue).

This can be done with a reingest. There used to be a magic spell at http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=scratchpad:random_magic_spells#how_to_include_a_specific_marc_field_with_a_specific_search_class that showed a quicker way to populate that table without the reingest, but it looks like that spell has been removed.
