[GeoNetwork-users] "Recent Changes" on Home Page - Weird Behaviour

GeoNetwork GeoNetwork User
,
1

Hello List,

Fist request for help so please be gentle.

I have installed geonetwork and it appears to be a wonderful product. Cannot wait to roll it out, I think it will provide a real benefit to my users.

I am about half way through importing all of my metadata using the batch import method, it has worked really well. The only thing that I haven't been able to work out is why the "Recent Changes" list on the home page appears to be randomly out of order. Whenever you click on one of the changes it won't reflect what you actually selected. I click on "Payphones" and it returns "Aerial Photography" for example. I restart the geoserver and select Payphones again, this time it returns Public Toilets. Whilst having a very limited understanding of how the software works, it almost appears like an index is corrupted or something? Maybe I have been importing them wrong? Not sure.

Would appreciate any suggestions you may have...

Cheers...
Morgan

Here are some questions that might help clarify what's happening:

Are metadata records being linked correctly elsewhere? For example, in search results?

Is there any pattern to the mistaken links? For example, are the database IDs of the wrongly-linked records always some certain amount off? Perhaps some other pattern?

Thank you for replying, much appreciated.

Yes, everything is working fine, I can search for metadata and the results return correctly. I can also click on the categories and it will return the appropriate records.

No, not that I can work out. If I repeatedly click on the first link it literally cycles through each metadata record one by one, in order of change date. It is almost as if the links are correct, but the text that is displaying is not - if that make sense.

Cheers...
Morgan

Are the text of the links wrong in some pattern? Are they the most-recently-changed records, just not in the right order (and if so, is there a pattern to their misorder) or are they not the true most-recently-changed records at all?
