Re: [VuFind-General] OCI8 and Narrow options

[Sandford, M. <SAN...@wp...>]

Hello Kamal,

The oci8 driver and instant client is only needed if you're trying to connect Vufind to a Voyager ILS.  If that's not your goal, you won't need them.  To get rid of the Call number and Located "Loading" problems, go into /web/conf/config.ini and set [Catalog] driver to "Sample".  That will use a dummy driver and show everything as available.

As for narrow options, if memory serves, I ran into a small issue with the narrow options not loading if the domain in the browser didn't match the domain in the /web/conf/config.ini url.  For instance, our test machine's fully qualified domain name is libtest.wpunj.edu, and that's what set as the value of url under "Site" in the config.ini file.  

One campus, I can go to libtest without the wpunj.edu domain at the end and it'll pull up Vufind, but since the two values don't match, I can't see the Narrow Options.  The opposite also is true.  If I remove the .wpunj.edu in the config.ini file, then I can't go to libtest.wpunj.edu/vufind and get a fully functional display.  I have to use libtest/vufind.

Hope that helps,

Subject: [VuFind-General] OCI8 and Narrow options

Hello friends,
                     1.  What is the role of oci8 Driver and Oracle instant client in  Vufind. I had installed the Vufind and I imported the record and searched the record successfully without the installation of Oracle. I can access Vufind from other system also but I don't know the purpose of installing the oci8 driver and instant clients. 

                    2. The narrow options at the right side of the search page is not displaying any thing. It simply shows loading. I downloaded the record from Library of congress. Should I have to install any other dependencies or else have to download the Marc record from some other sites 

Thanks in advance
