[Koha-devel] Zebra: the 'elements zebra::snippet' doesn't work

[David Cook]

I have a solution for this. 

I feel like I've shared the solution before, but I can't find a record of
it, so I've opened the bug
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17871 and I'm
sharing it here.

The bug report has most of the details, so I'll just summarize by saying
that I think there's in YAZ introduced in version 5.8.1, but we can
workaround it by changing our Zebra configuration.

If we remove the line <retrieval syntax="xml" name="zebra::*" /> and restart
Zebra, you should be able to use zebra::snippet and zebra::facet. At the
moment, with that line, we can't get facets from Zebra, as I think it causes
some problems in YAZ and thus in Zebra. I'm going to get in touch with
Indexdata about it.

In the meantime, I hope this is helpful.
