Release notes

Installation instructions

Navigate to the base web directory of the front-end server (in our case, /exlibris/primo/p1_1/ng/primo/home/system/thirdparty/openserver/server/search/deploy/primo_library-app.ear/primo_library-libweb.war) . Copy the attached file to the javascript directory.

From the base web directory, navigate to the views/brief directory. In file, results_num_tile.jsp, insert the following code

<p>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../javascript/embed.js" ></script>
</p>

between these lines:

<prm:userText styleId="result" type="openingText"/>
<html:form method="post" action="/action/search.do ...

Modify the script to reflect URLs and search terms that make sense for your institution.

Info sample

TO DO list

We would like to find a way move this code outside of the native jsp files that are updated with service packs.

We would like to find a way to test making this a "server side" routine rather than "client side" where the search term is known.
