• Description

  Note: I am no longer maintaining this code as Google Book Search functionality has been added to Primo v3 as of Service Pack 3.1.0.

  If you used the Google Book Search links in Primo v2, you might have noticed that this functionality is missing from Primo v3. This code can be used to restore the GBS link feature that existed in Primo v2. For a description of the GBS link feature, refer to item #3422 in the Primo Version 2 Highlights document.

Installation instructions

1. Save the attached gbs.js file to fe_web/javascript/gbs.js (note that fe_web is an alias) 
2. Include a reference to the file wherever you normally would add custom JavaScript (I prefer to use our custom footer html).
3. Make sure at least one of the GBS links is enabled in the Back Office views wizard under: Primo Home > Ongoing Configuration Wizards > Views Wizard > Tiles Configuration > Full Display > Full Results
   

If the GBS links are not available as options in the Back Office Views Wizard, check the "Full Display Labels" code table to see if the following codes are missing or disabled: default.fulldisplay.gbsabout default.fulldisplay.gbsaboutnofull default.fulldisplay.gbsfull
