Hello,
We would like to see records being deleted from the zebra server. It
seems Emilda only updates its table to filter the records instead of
really deleting them. Our zebra server is queried from other sources
than Emilda, and with the current way of deleting books in Emilda,
they still show up in requests to the server :-( What can we do?

Ok, I have a workaround for now. But why did you implement it this way?
I suppose there are good reasons, but I'm not sure :-/

Anyway, if anyone is interested, here is my workaround (a little ugly,
but it works for us):

149a150,155

#include('php-marc/php-marc.php');
$control_number=$old['book_control_number'];
if ($control_number!='') {
while(strlen($control_number)<10) $control_number='0'.$control_number;
print exec("/www/html/biblio/book_delete.sh $control_number");
}

#(there are things to fix above to make it work for your installation ;
bad)

bookdelete.sh:

#!/bin/sh
rm zebra/records/$1
. zebra/reindex.sh
echo Zebra record $1 deleted

zebra/reindex.sh:

#!/bin/sh
pushd .
cd /www/html/biblio/zebra
/etc/init.d/idzebra stop
/usr/local/bin/zebraidx init
/usr/local/bin/zebraidx -g emilda update records
/usr/local/bin/zebraidx commit
/etc/init.d/idzebra start
/bin/chown -R nobody:nobody /www/html/biblio/zebra
popd

Best regards,
