6. The navigation plugin uses a widen solr handling for parent documents. For this purpose, the plugin brings its own schema extensions. It is necessary to reload the solr schema (for further information have a look on solr mycore documentation http://www.mycore.de/documentation/search/using_solr.html). In case of a standard solr core installation (the main core is named „main“) open the mir web cli:

• run command „reload solr configuration main in core main“
  • This command synchronizes the solr main core with the solr schema from this plugin
• Reload the mir core with solr webadmin (Core Admin - reload)
  • You can do a quick check in the solr webadmin via mir schema menu item (root field should be there now)
• Reindex solr with the rules from the navigation plugin with command „rebuild solr metadata and content index in core main“
  • solr entries should provide the extended handling for parent documents now (root field)

Understanding xsl file structure for adapt navigation on different pages

---- src/main/resources/xsl

The transformation stylesheet files are located here.

To include navigation into mycoreobject-modsmeta view it is necessary to overwrite mods-metadata.xsl (.../resources/xsl/metadata/mods-metadata-page.xsl) on mir application customization layer (@see MIR Installation).

The following example includes the additional navigation for journals and series right before the citation container:

...
<!-- right column -->
        <div id="aux_col" class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4">

<!-- additional layout components for journals and series -->
        <xsl:copy-of select="div[@id='series-banner']" />
        <xsl:copy-of select="div[@id='series-layout']" />


<!-- cites -->
