[Wactclc-alma] FW: [Primo] [External] Primo norm rule to hide entire fields when specified language is present

Fri Dec 3 11:42:54 PST 2021

Nice thread from SJ over on Primo-L.

Might be of renewed interest to others, given the new attention on unsavory subject headings being given by December feature coming to "disappear" those from view. So I'm cross-posting here.

And also reminder that you can also substitute alternative subject headings instead of just disappearing them.

The technique below only works for the full record display, but not for the subject facet.

So, if you want to be really proactive, you could do both (I think), but the replacement of headings in the full display, and removal of the headings in the facets.

Yes! This did work. Not jazzed about using too many more Booleans, but it will do.
thanks!

Hi,

Would the AND NOT operator work out for you?

Best regards,

Stefan

rule "Primo VE Display- Subject 650"

                when

                               MARC."650" has any "a-u,w-z" AND NOT

                               MARC."650".ind"2"  equals "2"   AND NOT

                            MARC."650"."a" match "Non-preferred term*"

                then

                               set TEMP"1" to MARC."650" subfields "a-u,w" delimited by " " remove substring using regex "\\.+$<file://.+$>"

                remove string (TEMP"1","<")

                remove string (TEMP"1",">")

                               set TEMP"2" to MARC."650" sub without sorting "x-z" delimited by " -- "

        remove substring using regex (TEMP"2","\\.+$<file://.+$>")

        concatenate with delimiter (TEMP"1",TEMP"2"," -- ")

        set TEMP"3" to multilingual by "650" "Subject" "display"

                               concatenate with delimiter (TEMP"1",TEMP"3","")

        create pnx."display"."subject" with TEMP"1"

end

Betreff: Re: [Primo] [External] Primo norm rule to hide entire fields when specified language is present

I'm not sure if I feel more validated or disappointed; "subject" was the first thing I had tried.

I tried again just in case, but it still didn't work for some reason. Maybe another conflicting rule?

Although it is not ideal, I may end up just using that feature they're rolling out to hide selected terms.

thanks much!

The problem lies in the "set" line with the term that points to the field being manipulated.

A. If you're writing this norm rule into a local Primo field (e.g., local_field_12), it'd look like this:

set pnx."display"."lds12" to "<span style=display:none;></span>"

B. If writing this rule into an named display field (e.g., subject), it'd look like this:

set pnx."display"."subject" to "<span style=display:none;></span>"

The "when" clause looks okay to me.

Hi All,

I've been trying to write a norm rule that will hide entire fields containing non-preferred terms.

I have tried numerous different ways of doing this. Here is the last one that didn't work. Any ideas what I am doing wrong here? Is what I am trying to do even possible?

rule "Primo VE - Non-preferred term"

when

MARC is "650"."a" AND

MARC."650"."a" match "Non-preferred term*"

then

set pnx."display". MARC "650" to "<span style=display:none;></span>"

end

I get this error when I try to save the rule:

The file cannot be saved due to a compilation error:

[7] Unable to expand: set operational."prima_display". MARC "650" to "<span style=display:none;></span>"

thanks!

regards,
