ERR log says: ’2011-03-01 14:16:21 –> Exception caught: string index out of range’. First thing you should do is follow the steps to try [...]

Some days ago I wrote a post about CDS Invenio records’ number-of-downloads stats. I noticed that some of my records did not have stats in rnkDOWNLOADS table and I was wondering why. This is related to the way in which records have been submitted to the repository. If the record has been submited with bibupload [...]

If you are getting exceptions like the following in your CDS Invenio v1.0: Exception (bibclassify_webinterface.py:135:get_keywords_body) Exception (webinterface_handler.py:378:_handler) The following problem occurred on <http://yourhost> (Invenio 1.0.0-rc0)>> 2011-01-12 03:13:27 -> SERVER_RETURN: 404 404 >>> >>> User details agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203   Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E) email: guest group: [...]

I’ve been asked to export some stats related to the number of downloads of each record belonging to collection PhD’s of our cds invenio repository. This can be done in a pretty simple way: 1.

But there was no way to delete records using command line in our CDS Invenio repository by typing something like: bibedit –delete <recidNumber> These steps should be followed to achieve this [...]

The last posts are about CDS-Invenio speed up. Another important issue when dealing with optimization is the use of CSS Sprites. Making the CSS Sprites and modify the CSS files can be tricky. But you can use the awesome spriteme.org tool to automate this process. I’ve just tried it and… man, it rocks! ps: You [...]

In my last post I gave a first approach to speed up your cds invenio website using basic CSS compression. This approach was really simple and worked like a charm, but I was not 100% satisfied with it, as editing a compressed CSS (or even worse, a JS) is a tedious work. UPDATEDYou should test [...]

We have noticed that the sort_options in the advanced search of CDS Invenio Repository (release 0.99.1) were being displayed in english by default. The select box is generated in your lib/python/invenio/websearch_templates.py (I defined a custom template so my file is lib/python/invenio/websearch_templates_buz.py, more precisely in the tmpl_search_box function. The sort_fields are passed to that function by [...]

If you are familiar with digital preservation and 2.0 libraries you will know handle.net persistent url resolver for sure. We are going to integrate handle.net service along with CDS Invenio software. Other repository softwares, like DSpace, have this url system implemented in their core. CDS Invenio does not (yet).
