[GeoNetwork-users] Subject:, Re: GeoNetwork usage issues - help requested

Hi Bob

For item 3, the issue is that geonetwork calls Intermap in two different ways. If you are using Tomcat, by adding an extra context to cover both calls should provide a usable workaround for now, i.e.:

<Context
    path="/geonetwork"
    docBase="/install_path/geonetwork/web/geonetwork"
    crossContext="false"
    debug="0"
    reloadable="false" />

    <Context
    path="/intermap"
    docBase="/install_path/geonetwork/web/intermap"
    crossContext="false"
    debug="0"
    reloadable="false" />

    <Context
    path="/geonetwork/intermap"
    docBase="/install_path/geonetwork/web/intermap"
    crossContext="false"
    debug="0"
    reloadable="false" />

Hi Bob,

I will try to answer your questions:

Hello,

I'm working with GeoNetwork 2.1 beta 4 and have a number of usage issues
I'm
hoping someone can help me with.

1) how do I create the logo icon for each of the metadata records? All
that
I see is the default blue icon. We will have multiple data providers for
the
metadata records. I would like to have a unique logo icon for their
metadata records.
      

The logo depends on the source (a sort of site id) and this is set by the
harvesting. You cannot set the icon for each metadata but only to the
source they belong to. The harvesting does this automatically but up to
now there is no way to set the icon to imported metadata (for example
using the batch import).

Bob: this makes sense, though I was hoping that I could set the icon for
each record based on the source. I don't plan to use harvesting (for
now).

2) how do I create the extents image for each a metadata record? I've
successfully imported both a 'large' and a 'small' thumbnail which appear
when viewing the metadata records, but there is nothing for the extent
image.
      

I don't know.

Bob: Is there some doco / tutorial that might explain this?

3) I can run Intermap when using a geographic search, but I cannot run
Intermap from the main page (please see my previous post). I get a 404
error.
      

Ok.

Bob: Is this an issue with the current beta?

4) After I've added and then deleted metadata records, is there a way to
compress the database from within GeoNetwork or do I use database
utilities
for that operation?
      

The operation depends on the dbms so you have to use the dedicated tool.

Bob: sounds like I will have to use the dbms' utilities, nothing in GN.

5) How do I customize the default extents and data displayed in Intermap
as
used in the geographic search?
      

I don't know.

Bob: Is there some doco / tutorial that might explain this?

6) I know that I can export metadata records into a .mef format. Is
there a
way to export GeoNetwork metadata records into XML and/or ASCII that is
readable by other systems?
      

Yes. There are 2 xml services:

- xml.search: performs a search and returns metadata in a common format
- xml.metadata.get: retrieve a metadata given its id

Bob: not sure how I use these services, I'll dig into it a bit. If you
have some doco on this that would be great.

Regards, Bob

Thanks Brian.

I'm still using Jetty but your comments reminded me of something I had
been thinking about. I believe the problem is related to the actual
call to Intermap made from the main GeoNetwork page, main-page.xsl That
call is "javascript:popInterMap('/geonetwork/intermap')"

I can access Intermap by using http://mymachine:8085/intermap/ .

I edited line 517 in main-page.xsl to read <a
href="javascript:popInterMap('/intermap')"> so now Intermap opens up
from the main page. I doubt if this is the correct fix though. :slight_smile:

Thanks again, Bob
