+ | |||
+ | Tod and Anna have made progress on improving the call number processing logic in SolrMarc; a patch was recently shared on solrmarc-tech. This just adds library code; further work will be needed to incorporate this into the VuFindGeneric example. Next step: use this code in the VuFind Browse Handler to improve sorting, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This new logic is more error-tolerant than the old CallNumUtils -- it will try to generate sort keys for practically anything to ensure that " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Currently we're waiting for input from Bob Haschart before merging. In the meantime, Tod proposes beginning work in a branch of the browse handler with the new call number logic to help justify the future merge. Demian also suggested beginning work on refactoring the GenericVuFind example indexer code to use the new code. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some discussion of the need to reindex everything after changing the SolrMarc code to reflect the new sort key format (needs a note in the changelog). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some discussion of whether to refactor CallNumUtils to wrap around new code or keep it as a deprecated feature. There are some significant differences between new code and CallNumUtils (e.g. in handling of music call numbers, etc.) so this would not be a completely seamless transition. Tod believes most changes in new code would be viewed as improvements, | ||

+ | Tod will surveyed use of CallNumUtils within SolrMarc and it seems to be used only in examples, which should make transitioning cleaner. | ||
=== AlphaBrowse Enhancements === | === AlphaBrowse Enhancements === | ||
+ | Anna is currently working with Mark to implement new highlighting support. Getting close to resolution; at that point, Mark will submit a browse handler PR and Anna will update her VuFind side PR to match. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tod is looking into sorting issues caued by MARC letter modifiers in transliterations (which are being treated as word separators and do not get composed like diacritics during Unicode normalization). Some possibilities: | ||

+ | Tod mentioned the possibility of adding support for Javascript plug-ins in future versions of SolrMarc as an alternative to BeanShell. This might be a topic for discussion on solrmarc-tech in the future. | ||

+ | Demian reminded everyone that raising the PHP version requirement to 5.4 is coming fairly soon (probably 2-3 months, if not sooner). | ||
