Browse in Pawtucket by LCSHs

ralurore

I can browse for objects according to their collection, but cannot figure out how to enable searching by Library of Congress Subject Headings.

For example, many objects have sh85121304 - which is the LCSH for shells. But I cannot find a way to make a themes/subjects section appear on pawtucket's Browse page, showing which items have a Shells subject heading.

Any suggestions on where to get started to try and figure this out?

I see the guide for Providence's Browse configuration and the other configuration files (https://manual.collectiveaccess.org/providence/user/configuration/mainConfiguration/browse.html) but cannot find anything for modifying Pawtucket there.

ralurore define facets the same way in Pawtucket as in Providence. For a LCSH metadata element you’ll need to use a facet type of attribute.

In the browse.conf file, in this part:

ca_objects {
     facets {
          ...
     }
}

add this block:

	lcsh_facet = {
			type = attribute,
			element_code = lcsh_terms,
			
			group_mode = alphabetical,
			order_by_label_fields = [name],

			label_singular = _("LCSH term"),
			label_plural = _("LCSH terms"),
			description = _("Find objects according to LCSH terms."),
		},

Save, purge cache files and try.
