en / fr for Zebra Indexing during install
Hi all, We have a Koha migration from 229 to 300. The site is in English but the database contains both English and French text. During the install answered the Zebra Indexing question as "en", i.e. Primary language for Zebra indexing (en, fr) [en] My question to the list: is it important to specify "fr" if there are french language titles / data in the biblio data? I ask because we are now getting errors when we try to rebuild the index from scratch, i.e. [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number) cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services You got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. -- George W Bush

From what I understand, that question mainly determines certain rules related to character matching, and should be left as en for databases that will be used mostly by English-speaking users.
The error message is caused by an incorrect definition of Local-number in /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/biblios/record.abs; I had to uncomment the following line to get indexing working: melm 090$c Local-number:w -- Jesse Weaver

Okay. That's cool and seems unrelated to my indexing problem.

Yes! Merci bien! Our zebra indexing is now working fine. I also uncommented the following line in that file: melm 090$c Local-number:w BTW: the file is in /etc/koha/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs Thanks again, rick welykochy -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services You got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda. -- George W Bush
