problems with EFES

[Daria R.]

Good morning,

After using EFES for a few months without any issues, I started encountering some problems and decided to download the program again. I followed the instructions, deleting the old repository and creating a new one. I harvested and indexed the inscriptions. Now, when I click on “inscriptions” or “search,” I can see the list of my documents, but when I click on a specific inscription, I am taken to an empty page where I can only download its XML file (as shown in the screenshot). Additionally, when I click on “bibliographic concordance,” the page is also empty. I tried several times in the last few days, but I do not manage to understand what is happening. 

What might I have done wrong?

Best wishes and thanks, 

Daria Russo

Dear Daria,

Could you please check the following path: webapps/ROOT/kiln/stylesheets and report back on whether the folder epidoc is there? Feel free to send a screenshot!

All best,

Martina

Dear Martina, 

there's an empty epidoc folder! I attach the screenshot!

Thank you for your help!

All best,

That's what I was afraid of :) We recently made a change in the way EFES treats the EpiDoc Stylesheets, and, apparently, if you try to download the source code, it will not take them into account. I would suggest you download the EpiDoc stylesheets from here: https://github.com/EpiDoc/Stylesheets and put the content in webapps/ROOT/kiln/stylesheets/epidoc and try to start EFES anew. 

Let me know if this works!

Cheers,

m.

Just to follow up on Martina's excellent advice… can I confirm (Daria) that when you say you downloaded EFES you mean you downloaded the ZIP file from Github (rather than cloning the software using Git) and extracted it on your desktop?

Many thanks,

Gabby

Dear Martina, dear Gabby, 

thank you for your advice: now EFES works again! And yes, I downloaded the ZIP file from GitHub (as I think I did the first time that I downloaded it). 

I didn't have to extract it on my desktop: my Mac unzipped it automatically after the completion of the download. 

With very best wishes and thanks!

Daria

Perfect, thanks for clarifying. In that case Martina's advice was 110% the correct thing to do.

(We will very soon publish a more convenient solution to this issue. Watch this space!)

Dear all,

Latest update on Daria's bug report from last year. We propose to add the following to the EFES Quickstart:

### To include the EpiDoc XSLT Stylesheets in your EFES instance:

1. If you have cloned EFES using GitHub Desktop

   - Do nothing. The stylesheets will already have been cloned into `webapps/ROOT/kiln/stylesheets/epidoc` for you from the submodule

2. If you have cloned EFES using Git from the commandline/terminal/bash:

   - Navigate into the EFES folder, and type the command `git submodule update --init` . This will clone the submodule for you as per (1) above.

3. If you have downloaded a static version of EFES as a ZIP from Github:

   - Download the ZIP of the EpiDoc Stylesheers from <https://github.com/EpiDoc/Stylesheets/>, extract the ZIP archive into a new folder, and copy the contents of this folder into `webapps/ROOT/kiln/stylesheets/epidoc` in your EFES instance.

Does that seem adequate to you?

(Hopefully we'll have an easier solution to use case #3 on the next EpiDoc and EFES release, later this year.)

[Gabriel Bodard]

Dear all,

Following from the below, please note that (with Poli's advice and approval) I have updated both the Quickstart section and the Installing EFES for the First Time pages in the EFES User Guide: https://github.com/EpiDoc/EFES/wiki/Installation.

I would be grateful for any feedback the next time you point a student or other newcomer at these pages and they try to install EFES by themselves the first time.

All best,

Gabby
