[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] new marc templates

[Duimovich, George]

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

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,

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

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