Hi @Alex @PaCo @Felipe
I have just check our bibliography in the web and I have two issues:

  1. The bibliography is ordened by date not by surname, as usual in academic ambients. Is it possible to visualiza it in the surname's order?
  2. The tool "search in the pdf" doesn't work. We have upload a lot of them and the simple search for "moneda" doesn't resolve anything.

What can we do?
Thanks!!!

Hi @elena,

  1. The code in the template does not refer to the correct names of the autoria and fecha_publicacion columns.
    They were changed to English and should be authors and publication_date in bliblio.js.

  1. Seems that you don't have the PDF text extracted in the field Transcription/description (section Publications).
    When you are in Publications and you upload a PDF file from the Document field using the upload tool or clicking on the Dédalo logo:

the text is extracted and saved into the field (Transcription/description) :

This is an automatic process made by a library defined in Dédalo config as:
PDF_AUTOMATIC_TRANSCRIPTION_ENGINE

Probably, you have a problem with this library. Your IT team needs to check that is installed, running and working properly. Documentation about can be found at:
Using XPDF from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ or https://pdftotext.com

Once solved the library problem, or anytime in the future, you can use the Tool PDF Extractor to extract the PDF text and copy/paste it to the field Transcription/description:

This functionality will be automatic from Tool Update Caché in the next code revision (6.2.9). If you can wait, I recommend this way if you are dealing with a lot of records ;-)

Remember to republish the records once the problem has been fixed, so that they are accessible and searchable from the web.

I hope you found it useful.

Best

    Hi @PaCo @elena ,

    Thank you very much Paco,

    I have made the changes in biblio.js and install the poppler-utils in the server to get pdftotext available for Dédalo. Our dedalo config is using pdftotext (we have Xpdf installed in the server but I have notice now than de IT department in UCA make permission changes in the files of that library)
    We have more than three hundred of pdf's in Publications so I will wait to the 6.2.9 update to republish the records and check out if everithing is OK.

    Thanks again,

    Hugs
