[VuFind-General] To add a new browse index

[Zeno T. <ta...@ci...>]

Hi to all,

here at CILEA we are porting the AlphaBrowse module to 1.0.1 (stable
version)
Do you think is useful if we document how-to we have done ?

A question about this module:
-- How can I add a new browsing index ?
I want to use a different index for topic, not the default but a new
one. And I want to create a new index for Dewey.

I have understand:

In ../web/conf/conf.ini under [AlphaBrowse_Types] insert

<index name> = <label>

To define the exact phrase, go to ../web/lang/en.ini and add:
<label> = <the specif phrase to display>


Define the index in ../impor/marc_local.proprierties
topicbrw = custom, getAllSubfields(650, " ")

In ../solr/biblio/conf/solrconfig.xml :

<requestHandler name="/browse"
class="au.gov.nla.solr.handler.BrowseRequestHandler">
    <str name="authIndexPath">${solr.solr.home:./solr}/authority/index</str>
    <str name="bibIndexPath">${solr.solr.home:./solr}/biblio/index</str>

    <!-- These definitions should match the field names used in the
authority index. -->
    <str name="preferredHeadingField">heading</str>
    <str name="useInsteadHeadingField">use_for</str>
    <str name="seeAlsoHeadingField">see_also</str>
    <str name="scopeNoteField">scope_note</str>


    <str name="sources">topicbrw,author,title</str>

    <lst name="topicbrw">
      <str
name="DBpath">${solr.solr.home:./solr}/alphabetical_browse/topic_browse.db</str>
      <str name="field">topic_browse</str>
    </lst>

</requestHandler>


In ../solr/biblio/conf/schema.xml:

line 164 added:
<field name="topicbrw" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"
multiValued="true"/>

modified line 207:
<copyField source="topicbrw"    dest="topic_browse"/>

In index-alphabetic-browse.sh:

build_browse "topicbrw" "topic_browse"

But the result is not corret, from ../solr/alphabetical_browse:

-rw-r--r-- 1 cilea cilea 24820736 2011-01-20 17:08 title_browse.db-updated
-rw-r--r-- 1 cilea cilea        0 2011-01-20 17:08 title_browse.db-ready
-rw-r--r-- 1 cilea cilea  2745344 2011-01-20 17:08
topicbrw_browse.db-updated
-rw-r--r-- 1 cilea cilea        0 2011-01-20 17:08 topicbrw_browse.db-ready
-rw-r--r-- 1 cilea cilea  5912576 2011-01-20 17:08 author_browse.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 cilea cilea        1 2011-01-20 17:09 topic_browse.db

In fact the index 'topicbrw_browse' is not created.

Could you give me an hint where change the setup ?
