Other books in the rack

[pedroparkero]

First off, I want to say that this is a great feature. Thanks for trying to include this. However, it seems buggy at this point, as it doesn't work as you would expect it to be. For example:

This is the display under that same book. And we only have one copy of the book shown.
Also, it would be best if the system also groups together books of the same shelving location.

I understand this.
Other books in the rack follows Dewey Decimal Classification.
First it checks for all titles with the same classification numbers (For 8 entries)
Then it does a check for starts with above classification number
Then it starts deleting the last character from the classification number and searches (starts with) with the newly derived classification number
The search is continued only till 8 entries are retrieved. Later the search stops

Oh, I see. Maybe the reason it doesn't work for us is because we are using Library of Congress classification. Will you be able to support LC too in later versions?

[Verus Open Source Support]

Sure. We would appreciate domain inputs on developing the logic for LC Classification. So that the logic will be developed accordingly

Okay, I'm willing to give support. How can I help in these 'domain inputs'?

I just saw this feature and I did the upgrade immediately :D

Congratulations!!!!

Is it possible to large the green table? As you see my books are "touching" the bottom line of the box

Not very important though.

Also, the links in these "other books in the rack" are in "http://localhost:8080", so unless we are using the server computer, it will just produce a page not found error.

I just tested it and the server link works ok.

I wonder why I see some titles a lot of times there though. See the screenshot bellow:

Can you please tell me what might be the reason why 2 books with the same class number have different display in "Other books in rack": One (i.e., w/ call # PZ7.D644 R484 1988) has a populated 8 books in "other books in rack", while the other one (call #: PZ7.D644 S544 1988) has an empty "other books in rack"?
[By the way, the former's books on display doesn't include the latter book, even though there are no other books closer to the book than that other book.]
I'm just curious as to why this happens.

The logic used to display "Other books in the rack" is purely based on DDC. LCCN is not yet implemented. Hence it may be displaying erroneous for the LCCN. Next update will have support for LCCN too.
The logic used for DDC, in the below sequence
1. Books are searched with same class number
2. Books are searched with same class number and right truncation
3. Last of character of the class number is removed and again right truncation search on the resultant string is done
In the above steps only 8 ids are picked up
