[IUG] problems with scoping after rel 2007 upgrade

[Xi Chen <Xi dot Chen at oberlin dot edu>]

Greetings! We just upgraded our webpac to release 2007.   Since then 
I've been struggling with the loss of scoping, and need your help!
Here are the problems:
Problem 1, scoping is not recognized by the system,  our periodical 
scope's value is 1,  but the following url is not taking effect ( 
results are pulled from the whole collection instead of the periodicals' 
scope.)
http://obis.oberlin.edu/search~/?searchscope=1&searchtype=t&searcharg=china&SORT=D 

Problem 2,  I've created opacmenu_s1.html for the first scope, however 
it can't be mapped to /search~S1
Problem 3,  In the bib_display.html,  we use the token 
<!--{searchtool}--> , however on browse and bib display page, we are 
missing the drop down menu for the scope ( e.g. 
http://obis.oberlin.edu/record=b2338561~S0) .

All in all,  something must have gone wrong with our scoping.  The 
response from the helpdesk was to refer to the proper coding in the user 
manual, however, I've read the relevant section and  tried many ways to 
fix the problem including using the standard 2007 example package on our 
staging, but I am still unable to make the basic scoped search work 
properly. As a newbie to III's web opac , I'd really appreciate your 
opinions and diagnosis.

Thanks!

Xi
