14
15_t2_ {
16Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
17library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
18publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
19<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
20Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
21<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
22multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
23License.

27UNESCO is running regional training workshops on the use of Greenstone.<br>
28<a href="_httppagex_(report)">Here</a> is a report of one held in
29Bangalore, India, in August 2003. Another will be conducted in Dakar,
30Senegal in September 2003, and a third in Suva, Fiji, in November 2003.

34Greenstone v2.40a has now been released! Download it from <a
35href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone/">here</a>. This release
36is the same as Greenstone v2.40, except it features better integration of
37the Librarian Interface tool.

41One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
42configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it, <a
43href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ihw/greenstone/inside.htm">here</a> is a
44new document that presents, and explains, the configuration files for a few
45actual Greenstone collections, and also gives an example of how
46Greenstone's appearance can be customized.
47}
48
49_t6_ {
50The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in
51<b>English</b>, <b>French</b>, <b>Spanish</b>, <b>Russian</b> and
52<b>Kazakh</b>. Greenstone also has interfaces in many <a
53href="_httppagex_(intn)">other languages</a>. We are looking for <a
54href="_httppagex_(intn)#maintainers">volunteers</a> to add new language
55interfaces and help maintain existing ones.
56}
57
58_t7_ {
59The aim of the software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
60libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
61digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
62information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
63and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
64world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
65software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
66share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
67can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
68digital library</a>, authored by two of the the group's project members.

922Firstly, the <i>local library</i> is only available if you're running
923Greenstone under Windows. It's not yet available on Unix.
924
925<p>The major difference between the two is that the <i>local library</i>
926contains it's own built-in webserver. The <i>web library</i> however,
927requires an external webserver like Apache or Microsoft IIS. This makes the
928<i>local library</i> much easier to install and configure than the web
929library.</p>
930
931<p>For this reason, it's recommended that Windows users install the
932<i>local library</i> unless they're sure that they need the <i>web
933library</i>. Even if you think you might need the <i>web library</i>, try
934installing the <i>local library</i> first. You can always uninstall it
935later and install the <i>web library</i> if you then decide you need
936it.</p>
937
938<p>A situation where the <i>web library</i> may be preferable is if you
939plan to serve your Greenstone collections as a full-time service on the
940web. In this case you'll probably want the added stability that running the
941<i>web library</i> in conjunction with an external webserver can
942provide.</p>
943
944<p>Please note that the <i>local library</i> is quite capable of serving
945Greenstone collections over a local area network or the web (despite its
946rather misleading name).</p>

957If you're using the Windows <i>local library</i> you should be able to
958simply select &quot;Greenstone Digital Library&quot; from within the
959programs in your <i>start</i> menu.
960
961<p>If you're using the <i>web library</i> things are a little less obvious
962however. First make sure your webserver is configured correctly and is
963running (see the <a href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone Installer's
964Guide</a> and your webserver's documentation for details). You can then
965simply open your web browser and point it at the URL of Greenstone's
966library executable. This is dependant on the way you configured Greenstone
967and your webserver. Typically it might be something like
968http://localhost/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe.</p>
969}
970
971_t224_ {
972Greenstone relies on a web browser that supports tables, javascript, and in
973some places, frames. Any reasonably modern browser will do. Examples are
974Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, Netscape 4, and Mozilla. Newer releases of
975all these browsers will also work.
976
977<p>If you find that your favourite web browser does not work with
978Greenstone, please <a href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a>.</p>
979
980<p>Note that there is an exception to the rule that any modern browser will
981do when running Greenstone. That is when you're using the restricted
982version of the Windows local library when you must use Netscape. See the
983discussion below on the differences between the &quot;Restricted
984Version&quot; and the standard &quot;Enter Library&quot; version of the
985local library for details.</p>
986}
987
988_t225_ {
989The webserver built into the local library uses the networking software
990built into your Windows operating system in order to function. If your
991computer has never been connected to a network this networking software may
992not be installed however. For this reason Greenstone comes with some
993networking software of it's own that it will use if it can't find any
994installed on your computer.
995
996<p>When you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button, Greenstone first
997checks to see if your computer has it's own networking software. If it
998does, it starts up using that, if not it starts up using it's own
999networking software.</p>
1000
1001<p>When you click the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button, Greenstone
1002doesn't bother checking your system for networking software, it just goes
1003ahead and uses it's own.</p>
1004
1005<p>The catch is that there are several limitations with using the
1006Greenstone supplied networking software. The most important limitations are
1007that the local library won't be accessible from the network if run in this
1008way (that is, it really will be &quot;local&quot; to the machine on which
1009it's running) and that it must use a Netscape web browser. Using your
1010computer's built-in networking software is therefore the prefered
1011option.</p>
1012}
1013
1014_t226_ {
1015Since Greenstone will automatically use it's own networking software if it
1016can't find any installed on your computer it should not normally be
1017necessary to run the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; explicitly.
1018
1019<p>Times when it may be necessary are.</p>
1020<ul>
1021<li>If your computer's networking software has been installed incorrectly.</li>
1022<li>If Windows keeps attempting to dial up your internet service provider
1023when you click the &quot;Enter Library&quot; button.</li>
1024</ul>
1025}
1026
1027_t227_ {
1028No you don't need to be online. This is caused by the webserver built into
1029Greenstone's local library sending a message to your computer's networking
1030software to make sure it's functioning correctly. On many Windows systems
1031this causes the familiar dial up dialog box to appear. In most situations
1032you can simply cancel the dialog box and (if required) press your browser's
1033<i>reload</i> button to continue.
1034
1035<p>If this does not solve the problem, try starting the local library by
1036clicking the &quot;Restricted Version&quot; button rather than the
1037&quot;Enter Library&quot; button. See the discussion above on the
1038differences between the standard and restricted versions of the local
1039library for further details.</p>
1040}
1041
1042_t228_ {
1043Check your web browser's internet proxy settings and turn proxies off (use
1044<i>Edit preferences</i> on Netscape or <i>Internet options</i> on
1045Explorer).

1054The initial username required here is <i>admin</i>.
1055
1056<p>If you installed Greenstone using the InstallShield installer on Windows
1057or the Install.sh script on Unix you should have been asked to set a
1058password during the installation procedure.</p>
1059
1060<p>If you didn't, don't worry, the password defaults to being
1061<i>admin</i>.</p>
1062
1063<p>So if you don't know what to enter you should try username =
1064<i>admin</i>, password = <i>admin</i>.<p>
1065}
1066
1067_t231_ {
1068This may be caused by the URL becoming too long for your web
1069browser. Because Greenstone currently stores all state information in the
1070URL, if you do a search for a long phrase the URL can become very
1071long. Different browser's on different platforms have different maximum URL
1072lengths but in general it seems that Netscape can handle longer URLs than
1073can Microsoft Internet Explorer.
1074
1075<p>There is very little you can do to avoid this problem with the way
1076Greenstone is currently implemented (aside from not searching for long
1077phrases). Future versions of Greenstone may store some state information on
1078the server rather than in the URL but this has yet to be implemented.</p>

1143
1144<p>If you changed the default configuration during the <i>configure
1145collection</i> stage you'll need to make sure the changes were valid. For
1146example, if you added a new <i>classify</i> or <i>plugin</i> line you'll
1147need to make sure that the classifier and/or plugin names and arguments are
1148all correct. If they're not the collector will fail. A good test is to
1149build your collection without changing the configuration. If it builds ok
1150with the default configuration but fails after you change the configuration
1151you'll need to look closely at the changes you're making.</p>
1152
1153<p>Another good thing to do if having problems with the collector is to
1154build your collection from the command line instead. You'll get much more
1155feedback to help debug problems when building in this way. For details on
1156how to build a collection from the command line see the <a
1157href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone developer's guide</a>.</p>

1172To create and add the new buttons for a new classifier, there are several macro files that need to be edited. This is an example for the Countries metadata. <i>Countries</i> is the metadata name (or buttonname), <i>count</i> is the short form used in image names, <i>countries</i> is the text that appears on the nav bar buttons and the green title.
1173<p>
1174These lines should all be put next to the other ones ones of the same type. Use Title as an example to search for the approriate place to insert.

1213
1214
1215<p>
1216The images that are needed are the nav bar images, and the title image with the green bar in the background. There are 3 nav bar images: <i>tcountgr.gif</i> is the green one and <i>tcounton.gif</i> and <i>tcountof.gif</i> are the two yellow ones for the rollover effect.
1217<i>h_count.gif</i> is the title image.
1218
1219<p>These images can be generated by copying the two ## blocks from above into a temp file and running translate.pl on it eg.
1220
1221<br>translate.pl -language_symbol en temp.dm
1222
1223<p>To add the images in other languages, you need to edit the appropriate language macro file, and add the same items as for english.dm. And run the translate script to generate the images.
1224<p>English versions of the images should be placed in the $GSDLHOME/images directory, while other language versions should be placed in the appropriate subdirectory of $GSDLHOME/images, for example $GSDLHOME/images/fr for french images.

1354translated into many languages. However, the system is growing and language
1355interfaces become out-dated as new features are added to the software. For

1366maintainer (e.g. the Administration pages and the Collector). Many language
1367interfaces just contain the core part; since the core changes relatively

1474We send you an Excel spreadsheet that contains all the English text
1475strings, with empty cells for the translation. You fill it in and return
1476it, and we install it in Greenstone. This method is probably the best for
1477large-scale translation, but requires Microsoft software.

1480_t329_ {Greenstone Translator's Interface}
1481
1482_t330_ {
1483The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1484English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1485the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1486appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1487strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1488language interface.
1489}
1490
1491_t331_ {
1492Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1493and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In
1494either case you need a username and password, which we supply to designated
1495Greenstone language maintainers. If you are interested, you can play with
1496an open version of the system by logging into <a
1497href="http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/translate/library">this page</a> with
1498username "guest" and no password, though if you do this you cannot save the
1499results.

1503To register as a designated Greenstone language maintainer, please send a

1515have to translate all the strings in one session -- you can stop and
1516continue work later. There is a link at the bottom of each page under the
1517"submit" button that allows you to view a Greenstone site in the language
1518you have chosen, and see your translations take effect. (However, the
