turkleton is a bare-bones single-page app (w/ a single-file php backend) used to perform a full-text query in mysql
and return the results in a nice-looking table. It's fairly limited in what it can do, but that's partially by design.
As our library migrates to a new ILS, we needed a stop-gap solution to be able to search our sheet-music collection, which consists of ~24,000 records, until they're brought into the system. Using a CSV export of the records, we built a MySQL table with the information and set up a few basic fulltext search indices to allow broader searching.
$ git clone https://github.com/malantonio/turkleton
$ cd turkleton
$ mv config.sample.php config.php
then fill in the constants in config.php:
| constant | what it is |
|---|---|
SDB_HOST |
hostname for the mysql database (probably localhost or 127.0.0.1) |
SDB_NAME |
database name |
SDB_USER |
user to access database (turkleton only uses SELECT queries, so the user can be limited) |
SDB_PASS |
password for user |
SDB_TABLE |
table in database to search against |
SDB_RETURN_COLS |
which columns to return (use * to return everything) |
SDB_AUTHOR_COLS |
which columns make up an author fulltext search |
SDB_KEYWORD_COLS |
which columns make up a keyword fulltext search |
SDB_TITLE_COLS |
which columns make up a title fulltext search |
search.php only accepts querystrings with the keys q (for the query itself) and s (for the scope of the query; currently
limited to kw (keyword), ti (title), and au (author)). This is done via javascript in index.html.
