We've been having a problem with xPapers ever since we installed it with none of the content actually showing up. We can add papers manually or have them harvested from an OAI repository, we can see those entries in the database, but can't actually view them under the search, "New Items", "Browse by Area" or "Browse Journals". The only way to find content was to go to the "Submit Material" menu and choose "Archives we Track" and then view the list of papers that had come from a particular archive or by seeing recently added content in the admin panel.
It turns out that by default the search and browsing options have a button ticked saying "professional authors only". This default can be disabled by running the following SQL statement in mysql command line:
UPDATE queries SET proOnly='0' WHERE id='1';
I've not yet worked out how you mark added content as being from a professional author, but at least we can now view some papers!
