Re: How do I manually input data?

That's funny, I never thought to see if anything had been added to the
posts section. I was looking for a special Scriblio section in the
control panel, or something in the Scriblio settings area -- that's
what all the other plugins I've used have done. Sure enough, there's
a new item in the posts section to add catalog data. But it doesn't

As an archives, we manually input data so I know from that perspective
it can be done. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do the same
thing with library items. We use the New catalog entry under posts
and fill in all applicable fields.
Hope this helps,
Kelli

Hi Nancy -

I can't answer your question directly, but I have seen other entries
in the group that do describe using Scriblio for creating new records,
not just importing. So don't give up just yet! - Lisa

Marijane,

That is really helpful. That explains why all the documentation I'd
found discussed searching methods but said nothing about getting the
data into the system. I'm learning PHP and MySQL and could probably
write something that would do the job, but I'm not confident I could
make it secure and would not want it online where anyone could get to

Hi Nancy,

I'm just a lurker on this list and I've only dabbled with Scriblio, but I am
pretty sure it assumes there is an Integrated Library System running in the
background from which it obtains catalog records, and which handles
activities such as borrowing. The install page at the Scriblio website

update on new fields/schemas?

Hi everyone,

just setup my scriblio environment and absolutely loving it - so
thanks for that! I have been looking over the posts and I wanted to
know if there was an update on adding new fields to scriblio? The
reason I ask is because I work with special libraries and collections.
The ability to add custom fields to the database and have them

Thank you for taking the time to help me.

My facet list looks a bit different. I have updated the permalinks since
my last post.\

I have tried just about every possible version combination. I am now
running WordPress 2.7.1 Buite 4.0.6 (to escape the error from the WP
2.8.5 dependencies) and Scriblio 2.7-r2 (for luck of better suggestion).

Yes. You are right. It took me while to notice that the Scriblio and
Bsuite plugins are marked �Compatible up to: 2.7.1�. This is good to
know before installing. Coincidently, however, I had WP 2.9 on one of my
blogs, and there they worked flawlessly. WP 2.8.5 and the whole 2.8
series, as far as I could test, is definitely a no go, while 2.8.6 is

I have recently acquired responsibility for my church library. There
is no catalog of any kind. I estimate there to be about 2200 books,
with many duplicates. There's also at least 100 videos and at least
50 audio items. I'd like to catalog at least the books, and I am
looking at Scriblio for this. Is Scriblio a reasonable choice? The

Hi again -

I also forgot to mention that the checkbox for the share links option
doesn't show up - as shown in the image in your bSuite info page
([link]). Is that still supposed to be there
in 4.0.6 and 4.0.7? The Share Links widget doesn't have any settings
or options available. Should I be able to configure and customize that

Hi Casey -

Any idea when the bSuite and Scriblio updates will be available?

I'm currently building a test site using WP 2.8.4 with Scriblio 2.7-
r2 and bSuite 4.0.7.

I am having the same problem as above - image field isn't expanded in
catalog records.
Also - bSuite's machine tags section doesn't show up (in posts) and

That's right - "pretty" just means "custom". Here's the Wordpress
documentation on permalinks:

Reading up on Wordpress documentation went a long way for me in
understanding what to expect from Scriblio.

Hi Shannon -

By pretty permalinks, you mean anything other than the default,
correct? Or is there a particular permalink structure that needs to
be used with Scriblio?

It would be helpful if there were a list of current working
implementations of Scriblio that included which WP version it is run

Hello,

I am not running 2.8.5, but I have two questions that I hope will help
me understand your problem a little better. Have you set up pretty
permalinks? Are facets activated like this: [link]
? Those are two problems I ran into while setting up Scriblio, so

Hi again
I have spend one more day trying to get this thing going.
I have so far found that WordPress 2.8 presents several problems with
the widgets one being the footer, instead of the header java call.
I have made some progress using WordPress 2.7.1, but still no full
Widget support since apparently it needs the correct plugin versions.
