[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Mobius Book Carousel Demoed at the EG Conference this year

[Jesse McCarty]

Blake,

Thanks for the information. Yes, I did get the code from Github and had placed all the files in the default location. After copying the .tt2 files to our /openils/var/templates_burlington/opac/parts/ folder (and editing to add the book bag #s) the three book bag titles are now appearing.

Now, the only issue is nothing is propagating into the three book bags (ones I created shown below). I created the lists with our circulation account from a web browser and all three are shared, should they be created with an admin account? Since this is not our production server, (running on slightly older data) I checked in/renewed books from my patron account via the staff client to try and get information into them, but still nothing has filled the lists. Do these book bags depend on any cron jobs to propagate?

Jesse,

Did you happen to get the code from Github?

https://github.com/mcoia/mobius_evergreen/tree/master/bookbag_update

There is a folder structure there intended to match the folder structure in /openilstemplat

/openils/var/web/opac/skin/default/js/carousel
and
/openils/var/web/templates/opac/parts

The various files belong to various places. If you are using a template override, book_carousel.tt2 needs to be in the base template folder otherwise the template toolkit breaks.

Be sure and edit book_carousel.tt2 and replace the numbers with your bookbag id numbers.

If you are getting nothing, then you might need to inspect the resulting html page and look for
<div id="hidden_bb_info" class="hide_me">

Check to see if that div has any content. If not, the javascript stuff isn't working. If it does, then take a careful look at your CSS. The jquery plugin jcarousel is picky about the CSS. If you just use the CSS example from Github, it should work but it never hurts to double check.

I would be happy to take a look at what you have.

Hello All,

Has anyone implemented the Book Carousel that Mobius demoed at the conference this year? (http://slides.mobiusconsortium.org/blake/bookcarousel/#/1). I have been going over the slides trying to implement this on our test server with no luck so far. I have placed the appropriate .tt2 files in their locations and created lists with our circulation account, but nothing is showing up either in the lists or on our OPAC. Are there additional instructions online somewhere that I am missing? Extra details: we have four libraries running on our system and at this point we are only looking to implement it for one.

Thanks!
