Islandora Oral History Solution Pack Documentation Table of Contents - Release 7.x-1.10

Configuring Solr

After installing the required modules, Solr must be modified so that transcripts can be indexed.

Indexing transcript content in Solr
If you are having trouble indexing Oral Histories in Solr, you may wish to use the Test Solr Response Helper Script in the extras/ directory. There are instructions for using this script
Note: If you are editing files via the Transcripts UI editor, it will take a few seconds for Solr to index that content and for it to appear.

Theming the Player

The module includes bootstrap files in islandora_oralhistories.info so that the Transcript UI viewer will work for non-bootstrap themes out of the box. However, if you are using a vanilla bootstrap theme (or a theme based off of a vanilla bootstrap theme) and are experiencing trouble relating to version conflicts or some as of yet unforeseen issue, you can likely delete bootstrap/css/oh-bootstrap-all.css and bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js from the oralhistories.info file.

Ingest behaviour for XML vs WEBVTT transcripts

The following diagram depicts the two possible ingest workflows of transcripts, using either xml or vtt format and the resulting functionality.
