item urls changing

[davidfkane]

Hi All,

I have a problem, which is probably me doing something wrong...

I have noticed that some of the item urls have changed. This is a pain because it screws up any indexing done by Google or other search engines. Here is an example of how one of the records has changed...

http://researchscope.net/index.php/record/view/32505
has changed to
http://researchscope.net/index.php/record/view/40329

there are about 18,000 records in our harvester.

I am running this cron job for each archive to update weekly.

Code: Select all

php /var/www/harvester/tools/harvest.php 11 flush verbose last

Thanks in advance

The take home message here is, I have found, not to 'flush' the pre-existing records. The database will re-insert the records with a higher number. The field auto-increments the number for each fresh record number.

Better to use

Code: Select all

php tools/harvest.php all from=last

... as so many have suggested on this forum.
