Agenda

1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-484 - Combined search is now fully implemented in 2.x, as documented here.
  • VUFIND-831 - Joe has posted a Polaris driver for 2.x here.
  • VUFIND-832 - Joe has posted some Booksite content integration code for 2.x here.
  • VUFIND-842 - This ticket addresses a list creation bug when using PostgreSQL as a database backend.
  • VUFIND-843 - This ticket adds a configuration file that allows multiple modules (and even external sites) to be accessed via a single search handler drop-down (also documented here).
  • VUFIND-844 - This ticket points out that the jquerymobile theme is using a very old version of the library; there are some known bugs that may be fixed by an upgrade, though upgrading will also require extensive analysis/testing in case of BC breaks.
  • VUFIND-845 - This ticket shares a Villanova customization for excluding newspapers by default in Summon; it also serves as a demonstration of the flexibility of the new search system. It will probably not be committed as a standard feature since it is fairly special-purpose.
  • VUFIND-846 - This ticket (now resolved) addresses a bug in the new items module where an ILS driver with no getFunds method would cause a fatal error.
  • VUFIND-847 - This ticket suggests falling back to Solr when an ILS driver has no new item capabilities; it is related to the earlier VUFIND-624, which offers a 1.x implementation of similar functionality.
  • VUFIND-848 - This ticket proposes a change to the way highlighted titles are displayed to avoid confusion caused by the current truncation of long highlighted titles.
  • VUFIND-849 - This ticket (now resolved) proposes resetting the page number of a search when changing the sort order or limit in order to avoid confusing results.
  • VUFIND-850 - This ticket provides a mechanism for labeling searches in the search history so that multi-module VuFind implementations are less confusing (also documented here).
  • VUFIND-851 - A very subtle bug caused by the feedback module is fixed here.
