Full list of "occupation"-terms in the Authority record results menu

[Rasmus Lindgren]

Hi!
We have a narrow results-menu for occupation in the results page for authority records. (https://arken.kb.se/actor/browse?sf_culture=en&sort=alphabetic)

The problem is that you can only see the top 10 occupations and there is no way to expand it or view a full list of terms.

Is there a way to change it into a browse-menu where you can scroll down?  Or another option?

Kind regards/
Rasmus Lindgren, Archivist National Library of Sweden

Hello,

I also wonder if this page (https://arken.kb.se/Journalister) was meant to show a list of associated authorities, the same way this page (https://arken.kb.se/norrbotten) shows the list of associated descriptions. Is that a bug?

[Dan Gillean]

Hello Rasmus and Gomes, 

The Actors occupation access points were added on a limited budget, re-using the existing functionality of the facets for browsing. By default, facets in AtoM will only show up to the top 10 most popular results. While we have long wanted to add options to expand this functionality (see for example this Wishlist ticket, the Getty Search Gateway's implementation of filters, which we like for reference on possible future design, and the DPLA's scrolling filter list as another possible model), it will require significant feature development for us to be able to expand the facets to show more results. 

Gomes is right to point out that the taxonomy's view page can be used by authenticated users to browse all occupation terms. At this time, the view page for a particular term does not show related authority record results - it is reusing a page type (such as the one used to show results for subject and place access points) that normally shows archival description results. Again, we would love to see development to be able to make this page publicly accessible, and to allow it to show related authority record results when an Occupation term is selected. This will require community support for us to implement, however - either in the form of development sponsorship or code contributions. For more information on our development philosophy and maintenance model, see: 

• https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/Development/Philosophy
  

While changing AtoM's facets to be able to show more results (or operate as filters, allowing combinations, etc) would likely be a larger development project, I believe that adding a publicly accessible results page for Occupations would be more modest. If either of you or anyone else is interested in potentially sponsoring such development, please feel free to contact me off-list.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply!

Thanks, Dan, for providing some background on the 'occupations' taxonomy.  It confused us a little in Australia, when it suddenly popped up in our test of 2.4. Because our collection is mainly focused on government agencies, we're exploring the possibility of using Legal Status rather than 'occupation'. I think, in an international community, there may need to be some more discussion about the uses of various taxonomies, and especially if there is to be any mandated or recommended list of entities (longshoreman vs wharfie in LCSH has scarred me somewhat!)

Hi! 

We made a small development to show the list of authorities related to an occupation. 

We tested it in AtoM 2.4.0 and AtoM 2.4.1 

The files to replace are: 

/apps/qubit/modules/term/actions/indexAction.class.php 

/apps/qubit/modules/term/templates/indexSuccess.php 

And restart the PHP service.

I wish it was useful...

Regards,

Nacho Alonso Martín

Hi Nacho, 

Wonderful - thank you for sharing! 

Out of curiousity, I tried adding your files to a qa/2.6.x test instance. Unfortunately, they did not work - I got a 500 error. I found the following entries in the logs: 

2019/10/10 21:53:54 [error] 6841#6841: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: The template "privacyMessageDismissSuccess.php" does not exist or is unreadable in """ while reading response header from upstream, client: 10.10.10.1, server:_, request: "GET /default/privacyMessageDismiss HTTP /1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php-fpm.atom.sock:", host: "10. 10.10.10", referrer: "http://10.10.10.10/" 

2019/10/10 21:54:03 [error] 619#619: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function toArray( ) on null in /usr/share/nginx/atom/apps/qubit/modules/term/actions/indexAction.class.php:382 Stack trace:

The first is likely because the privacy notification banner was on and being displayed in my header when I navigated to the term - this feature was added in 2.5.0 so I am not surprised to see a message about it here. 

I'm nor sure about the second, but given that AtoM 2.4 and earlier run on PHP 5.x and we have switched to PHP 7.x in the 2.5 release, I'm not surprised to see compatibility issues. 

If you decide to update this against our 2.6 development branch, please consider sending a pull request! See: 

• https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/Development/Contribute_code 
• https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/wiki/Development#Development_resources   
  

In the meantime, thanks again for sharing this - I hope it might be useful to AtoM 2.4 users! 

Cheers,
