Comment 7 Owen Leonard 2016-04-12 23:40:31 UTC
This seems to be working well. One question:

Is necessary to add the Mendeley JavaScript file to the DOM rather than simply including it directly, enclosed in a check on the system preference? Is there a functional benefit to doing they way you do?

I'm marking this as Failed QA for one small thing:

If you want to use the Mendeley image in the OPAC you should add that file to Koha rather than linking to a resource on Mendely's servers. Linking is risky because the resource could be moved, and it will generate mixed-content warnings for OPACs running over SSL.

Hi Owen I have changed the bug according your comment but also I've been added EasyBib to the options. A new syspref has been introduced 'OpacManagerReference'

This is just for record results. I'll work in basket, detail record and list as soon as possible, please test

Comment 27 Katrin Fischer 2016-09-18 23:13:30 UTC
Some first notes about this:

In general:
1) EasyBib has a LOT of advertising on the website. Personally I am not sure about promoting this one in Koha. I hadn't run into it before today - maybe others know more about it?

2) I am not sure about the use of the icons - they don't look quite right. 
Maybe because of their strong color that might clash in some layouts. Not a blocker.

Result list:
2) The EasyBib function on the result list does not work for me. The list is always empty, even if I have selected the whole result list first.
3) It would be good if we could show an alert if nothing has been selected, similar to the one for adding to the cart or list.

Detail page:
5) It looks like EasyBib is turning umlauts into gibberish. Example: Zürich >  Zürich. Strangely, this only seems to happen on the details page. 'Zürich' is the place of publication in my example record.

6) Saving to Mendeley tries to save a 'website' instead of the bibliographic data. I tried several records.

Cart:
Seems to work ok.

Lists:
7) Can't save to Mendeley - it tries to save the 'website' here as well.
Comment 28 Katrin Fischer 2016-09-18 23:28:51 UTC
Some additional note after talking about this on IRC:

We link to other proprietary websites and services as well, so I think as long as EasyBib is strictly optional, that's alright.

To achieve that, please change the code so that the preference is used, but only the code for the selected services is activated.
[% IF (.... EasyBib ...) %] or similar.

Hi katrin, thanks to QAing.


> 2) I am not sure about the use of the icons - they don't look quite right.

I continue keeping the icons, because opac.less and opac.css. But if you really think this not fit well, I can remove those icons. I put the icons, because patrons are familiar with the icons.

> Result list:

This problems are present maybe because there was a CONFLICT MERGE.

> >  Zürich. Strangely, this only seems to happen on the details page.

I will fix this up in a follow-up

Ahh..... Sorry my mistake.

Mandeley take the data from OpenURl COinS (Z39.88), please set  COinSinOPACResults to "Include"... I've forgot about this.

I really make this with:
[% IF Koha.Preference( 'OpacReferenceManager' ) %]

Comments 7 and 10 explain it.
Comment 30 Katrin Fischer 2016-09-19 17:34:43 UTC
Hi Hector, just a quick comment to the last part: The preference is checked, of course, but if you activate Mendeley, you will also have the references to EasyBib in the source code - it would be cleaner to avoid this.
Comment 31 Katrin Fischer 2016-09-19 17:36:18 UTC
If it depends on COinSinOPACResults I think it would be good to note that in the preference and check in the templates - for the result lists where this happens we can check both preferences to avoid running into my problem. It will also allow users to use the feature with COinSinOPACResults  turned off.

Bug 16243: Add reference manager software (Mendeley and EasyBib) to OPAC

Mendeley provides a mechanism for export bib records to a personal account
in a free reference manager and academic social network (similar to Zotero)
<https://www.mendeley.com/>
EasyBib Generate citations in MLA, APA & Chicago formats for bibliographies
<http://www.easybib.com/>

To test:
- Apply patches
- Run perl installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl
- On master, search for the  syspref OpacReferenceManager
- Enable the two options
- Set  COinSinOPACResults to "Include"
- Do a search for books
- Notice about the new option 'Export to Reference Manager' in search results
- Create an account in Mendeley (Is free)
- Click in new option and notice that you can save bib references in Mendeley
- Click in new option Cite on EasyBib, you will see the records selected in
  EasyBib
- Repeat for items saved in cart and patron list.
- Go to record detail page test in Normal view, Marc view and ISBD view

NOTE: Fixed according with QA comment
      Patch rebase due JS translation mistake

You're right. I will do the necessary to change this.

Comment 38 Héctor Eduardo Castro Avalos 2016-09-20 15:25:58 UTC
Hi Katrin

Just one comment: I face problems with RIS format and COinS, this problems happen when you try to save other resources different than books, i.e., continue resoruces, DVD, sound recordings, etc. Koha does not have enough support to those resources.

I think IMHO this needs to be fixed in a separate bug. What do you think?

Comment 44 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2022-05-26 12:23:28 UTC
Hi, Hector. Is this work still current? (meaning it is worth resurrecting).
Comment 45 Anke Bruns 2022-06-02 10:10:57 UTC
Hi, if this is still current, can I suggest resp. ask things here?

1. Can it be made possible to show an OpenURL window (e.g. SFX) as a popup instead of the same - or a new - browser tab or window?

2: Can it be made possible to activate an OpenURL button or link for titles without any items? I.e. by using 942$c additionally to (or instead of) the item type in the item? This would be useful for e-books or e-journals if the library has full text access e.g. via institutional or national license but no specific item information in the library, and thus in Koha.

Hi Anke, I think these are good questions, but not sure you'll get any reply here. Maybe try the mailing list or filing as separate bugs depending on Bug 8995?
