tpac: record subject links carry previous search terms after MARC expert search

[Kathy Lussier]

Evergreen versions: 2.2

After performing a MARC expert search, if you click on one of the subject links in a resulting record, the MARC expert search terms are carried over into the new subject search. This differs from the behavior after other searches, where the previous search terms are dropped and an entirely new subject search is performed.

I'm guessing this is because an expert search does not include the "query=" parameters that normally would be replaced by the search terms from the subject search.

Confirmed for me on 2.3+ as well.

Here is a fix for this issue:

I need to add the sort variable to the list of variables that get removed from the Subject and Author links. Otherwise, the sort from the previous search will be applied to the Subject and Author searches. I have removed the pullrequest for now. Sorry about that. I am testing this currently, and should have the modification up by the end of today.

I was going to take a look at this branch for Kathy Lussier. However, it needs rebasing with master as there are conflicts in way too many files. I imagine that many of these are whitespace changes, but I don't feel up to the task of resolving them all.

[Liam Whalen (whalen-ld)]

I am finally caught up here. I will setup a testing environment this weekend and try to resolve the confilicts.

There is an error with this commit as well. I have fixed it in the version I am using for Sitka, so I will modify my working branch to take into account that fix.

[Liam Whalen (whalen-ld)]

I have two commits for this LP bug on my working branch:

EG 2.4

Tested on EG 2.4.2
Ubuntu 12.04
OpenSRF 2.2.0
Postgres 9.1

EG 2.5

Tested on EG 2.5 master

Postgres 9.1

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=330ebfe4729924f7741eafa7efe551f99aaa4fdf

I have not put one together yet for 2.3.10. The code around this has changed a bit since 2.3, and I do not have the time tonight to figure out the differences.

[Liam Whalen (whalen-ld)]

I decided to give 2.3 another look. I was hesitant to change it tonight because the series.tt2 file did not use mkurl, which is how this fix is created.

However, on a closer look, series.tt2 is not affected by this bug until 2.4, so I did not have to touch it for 2.3. The rest of the files were fairly similar to 2.4 and 2.5, so it was an even easier fix than the other two because there is one less file to worry about.

In this process, I noticed that I did not mention series links in my commit message for either 2.4 or 2.5, so I made some minor edits there and repushed them to my working branches.

So, here is everything once more:

Hi Liam,

This looks really good. I have one nit.

By clearing all of stop_parms from the advanced search link, if you do an advanced search, look at the results, then click the advanced search link with an aim of refining your search terms further, you now find that all those terms are cleared, which may not be desirable.

If you agree, I think in the last hunk of your patches you just want the last parameter to mkurl to be expert_search_parms rather than general_search_parms.merge(expert_search_parms).

Thanks!

[Liam Whalen (whalen-ld)]

Hi Lebbeous,

Thank you for looking over the commits. I do not have access to 2.3 right now. But, on my 2.4 system, when I do an advanced search, there is a Refine My Original Search link, underneath the Advanced Search link. This commit does not affect that link. I do not know what the expected use for the Advanced Search link is, but I assume, with the presence of a refine link, that it would start a new search.

If my assumption is incorrect, I will happily remove the clearing of the params from the Adavanced link. There is also an Advanced a Search button. Should that retain the parameters as well?

For 2.4+ I think Liam has the right of it. I'm picking into those now, but I'll leave 2.3 alone.
