*SPAM* Re: *SPAM* submission problems/confusion on new site

[Mike Marino <mmarino@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stuart-

   I ran into problems similar to this.  I have suggestions for you to
check a few things that might help.
   
   First off, the collections on the WebSearch interface need to be
updated to look for your new document.  This can be done by creating a
new collection and then specifying a search query to look for your
document (something like collection:YOURDOCTYPE, where YOURDOCTYPE is
the Document type ID).

   Also, since you cloned a document type, you have to modify the
parameters of the functions used by the submission, modification, etc.
interfaces as well as modify the bibconvert templates (xml templates)
located in /path/to/cdsware/etc/bibconvert/config to correspond to
your particular document type.  In particular, you need to
    1.  change the parameter rnin in the function
Report_Number_Generation to comboYOURDOCTYPE
    2.  copy the 3 *.tpl templates of an old document type and modify
them appropriately for the new document type(i.e. change their name
and some of their content).
    3. change the parameters in the functions Make_Record,
Modify_Record to correspond to the appropriate *.tpl files.
    4.  I might be forgetting other parameters.  It would be good to
look through the functions and their descriptions to help here.

I had a difficult time understanding the flow of data in this program
initially, but this is how I think it works (which I think is helpful
to understanding this problem):

    During submission/modification of a record, data is obtained and
stored in files in a temporary directory.  This data corresponds to
the Elements used on submission/modification pages.  This data is read
and an xml file is created according to the *.tpl files.  (To
understand this, it is good to read the bibconvert admin page.)  The
xml file is upload into the mysql database and the various data are
sorted into appropriate bib tables according to its MARC code.
Bibindex is run and updates the indices, pulling data from bib tables
into wordindx and phrsindx tables in order to create searchable
indices.  Webcoll is run, updating the collections viewed on the
Search page.

I hope this helps, but I'm sure it's a little vague.

Best, Mike
