Agenda

1. How are you doing?
2. Release update
   1. 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 update script 😱
   2. future.islandora.ca is now running 1.1.0
   3. BONUS: Crazy bash script to upload a whole book at once
3. Ideas on how to display a search result's thumbnail when using the solr_search_api "highlighted search results" field in the view display. An additional "View Type" such as the "Search Results Teaser" could be made that would allow for displaying the thumbnails and any other node-level fields, but the highlighted search results are not available at a node-level since these are granted only to views that are are made using "Solr Search". (added by Willow who will be absent, but Debbie should be here)
4. Demo of https://github.com/mjordan/media_formats_reports and if time permits, discussion of other types of charts/reports people are interested in
5. https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/754 for bulk-loading children (i.e, add-a-book quality of life)
6. What Fedora search capabilities would be useful to Islandora?
7. Collection Level Admin use case (Bethany)
8. Feel free to add agenda items...

   • There are some Drupal modules that use javascript on the client side to highlight.
   • Can also use template hooks to search and replace highlighting yourself.
   • Contact Jonathan Hunt, he may have more information.
3. Demo of https://github.com/mjordan/media_formats_reports and if time permits, discussion of other types of charts/reports people are interested in
   • Mark demo of nifty pie chart of data from site or can hardcode queries/data.
   • Ideas/help with testing is welcome.
   • Views Chart JS module didn’t work.
   • Can export CSV of data.
   • Totals aren’t reported out at this time.
   • Uses chart js so has other options available.
   • It queries database directly so doesn’t have access control on the data.
4. https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/pull/754 for bulk-loading children (i.e, add-a-book quality of life)
   • Paged content works but it can be tedious to use the UI to upload each page
   • This is a first go at a bulk load for children, should also work with multiple media objects on a record but needs testing/playing with.
   • Feedback would be great.
   • Doesn’t replace zip batch importer or other tools. This doesn’t include metadata, just files.
   • Can we separate the media and page elements? Might be useful as separate tools.
   • How do we get this on an existing install? Pull down PR if you don’t have a very old build (this is an Islandora PR, not a separate module).
   • May need to change stream caching on the routes so if Alpaca retries on an error, it has something to work with. Otherwise it’s empty.
5. What Fedora search capabilities would be useful to Islandora?
   • Fedora sprint coming up, want to move simple search feature forward.
   • Need simple search use cases
   • Can see list of children but can’t query resources. Can use SOLR but people want something simpler that’s available in Fedora UI.
   • Ideas:
     • As admin, show when things were updated (query all things updated since X time)
     • Simple way to find a specific hash string/locate duplicate hashes
     • Basic object counts - compare numbers of things in Fedora vs Drupal
     • Query to give all objects with a specific RDF property
     • Need specific predicates to search for otherwise this is a general search that is better for SPARQL or Drupal
6. Collection Level Admin use case (Bethany)
   • Ran out of time
