You are correct -- you need the bib ID rather than the OCLC number in your index in order for the driver to work correctly.

Do you mind sharing an exact URL and the Forbidden message that you are seeing?  If you turn on debug, you might even get some extra details that could help.  It sounds like a URL isn't getting built correctly or an Apache rewrite rule isn't being interpreted properly, but without a specific example, I'm not sure exactly what might be going wrong.

If it does turn out that you need to strip the periods on import (which hopefully won't be the case), it is possible -- the SolrMarc importer supports regular expressions, so you could set up rules to do what you need to do.  There is an example of stripping trailing periods in the comments here:

http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-184

Stripping leading periods would be fairly similar.

Thanks for all of your help.  I discovered that the 001 field was OCLC not our bib number which is required (I think) for the Innovative driver.  Now it is pulling the ID correctly (as .b########) but when I click on a Record I get a "Forbidden" message, but only when there is a period in front of the bib number.  Do I need to change permissions or is there a way to get rid of the period on import?

Once again.  Any help is appreciated.

When you get the empty result, what ID value is getting passed in to getStatus()?  I notice in your example code, you prefix the bib number with ".b".  Is that prefix also there when the ID value is retrieved from the Solr index?  If the MARC data you are importing includes only the bib number without the ".b" prefix, but the ".b" prefix is needed to get results from the Innovative driver, that might explain your problem.

When I did a var_dump I got no results array(0) {} I believe was the output.  I did a print_r to verify and received Array ( ) which seemed to reinforce the idea that I wasn't getting anything out of the getStatus array.

So I went into the Innovative Driver and added a dump of the getStatus function

$id = ".b12186442";
$catalog = new Innovative();
$ret = $catalog->getStatus($id);
var_dump($ret);

and it returned the following.
array(1) { [0]=> array(9) { [""]=> string(0) "" ["id"]=> NULL ["location"]=> string(18) "MSC Main 2nd Floor" ["reserve"]=> string(2) "No" ["LOCATION"]=> string(94) "MSC Main 2nd Floor<http://www.mesastate.edu/msclibrary/documents/FloorPlans2.pdf>" ["callnumber"]=> string(10) "HV1598.H36" ["CALL #"]=> string(78) "HV1598.H36</search%7ES93?/cHV1598.H36/chv+1598+h36/-3,-1,,E/browse>" ["availability"]=> int(0) ["STATUS"]=> string(8) "ON SHELF" } }

So I am unsure what is going on.  I know I'm overlooking something I hope you guys see what's I've overlooked and give me some information.

The most likely cause of the notice you're seeing is an empty result coming back from the getStatus() method of the Innovative driver.  I would recommend looking at that code more closely -- I think that's your most likely point of failure.  You might start by dumping out the return value from that function by adding a "var_dump($result)" around line 51 of web/services/Record/Holdings.php.  If that doesn't tell you much, dig into getStatus itself and see if you can figure out what's going on.  If you come up with more clues but no conclusion, feel free to share them here.

Hello all,
  I have recently installed a test instance of vufind.  I have never had a piece of open source software just WORK so easily.  The problem that I am getting is that I am not seeing any information in holdings.  I self verified the driver (Innovative) and it appears to be working as expected.  However the Holdings display is empty and I am receiving the following error with debug mode turned on

"Notice: Undefined variable: holdings in /usr/local/vufind/web/services/Record/Holdings.php on line 61'

any help that you could give me on this would be very much appreciated.
