Configuring e-Library for enriched content

After configuring Apache to work with the enriched content (for more information, see Configuring Apache for enriched content), you need to configure e-Library to show the content how you want.

To configure e-Library for enriched content

On your SirsiDynix e-Library server, navigate to the Unicorn/Webcat/Config directory.

Open the webconfig file for editing.

For enriched content other than Novelist or most of Syndetics content, set the IBISTRO_LEVEL and IBISTRO_CONFIG variables to both have a value greater than 2.

For example, set them to a value of 3.

IBISTRO_LEVEL|3|

IBISTRO_CONFIG|3|

Save the changes to the file.

Navigate to the Unicorn/Config directory.

Open the config file for editing.

Set the flag for the 69th value to something higher than 2.

To find the 69th value easily in vi, do the following:

Type vi config to open the file for editing.

Type / (slash) to enter Find mode. Type | (pipe character) to search for a pipe character.

Press the left arrow key once.

Type 69 n to search for the 69th instance of the | (pipe character).

Press the left arrow key once.

Type r to change to replace mode, and type 3.

Type :w to save the changes.

If you will be using Syndetics enriched content, you may need to change some policy files to display the content.

To edit the policy files, do the following:

Navigate to the Unicorn/Config directory.

Open the content.pol file for viewing.

This file lists the numbers that correspond to each enriched content type for Syndetics.

Note the ENRICHTYPE values. These will correspond to the types of enriched content you want to display. You will need to associate each configuration that will use Syndetics enriched content with a set of numbers that correspond to the content you want (a set of numbers from 1 to 17).

For example, you may want to display only the author biography, thumbnail cover image, book review, summary, and publisher marketing data. To do this, you would want to use ENRICHTYPE 1, 3, 4, 5, and 8.

Close the file once you have noted all the content you’ll want to display.

Open the conlibcfg.pol file for editing.

For each listed library configuration, specify the comma-delimited list of numbers for content that you want to be allowed to display.

This information goes in between the last set of pipe delimiters (|).

For example, using the situation from step 8b:

|1,3,4,5,8|

If you want to have all of the content potentially available for a library configuration, you would specify all the numbers 1 through 21:

|1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21|

Note: The numbers 18 through 21 are not yet defined. However, including them now means that the content will be available if they are specified later.

Save your changes and exit the file.

Restart your SirsiDynix e-Library server.

To restart your server, do the following:

Type restart remote webcat

Type sethead

Type set TERM=vt100

Navigate to your Unicorn directory.

Type remotewebcat Config/environ

Type HALT

Type INITIALIZE

Type RUN

The system uses the new settings when the system restart completes.
