- Description
eBook records typically display confusing info to the patron at the results and display level. For example they will say zero holdings and/or not available as well as have a call number. It's also not immediately evident that this is an electronic resource. This code will do two things: from the results list it will remove the call # and insert a message indicating it is an online resource (or whatever message you choose) and at the display level will change the status to: available online and also remove the erroneous call number. Alex Kustanovich has a version for 7.0 posted on voyagerwiki.com titled Call Numbers and eBooks . Some additional tweaking was required for 7.2x Special thanks to Jim Robinson for his expertise and infinite patience.

Installation instructions
 | It is important that your call numbers contain an eb -as used in this example - or a unique identifier. We added a lowercase eb to the end of our call number. |
1. Modify /xsl/pageFacets/resultsFacets.xsl
Look for the block of code that says:
<xsl:when test="position()=substring($firstBibTextWithLabel,1,1) and not(string-length($linkText))">
<a href="{$linkURL}">
<xsl:value-of select="page:label"/> <xsl:value-of select="page:value"/>
</a>
</xsl:when>
Insert the following direct under it:
This removes the call number from the results display and inserts the "eBook/eRef Online Access etc" message
2. Modify /xsl/contentLayout/display/display.xsl
Find the following:
<h3 class="holdingsSummaryHeading">
<xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
</h3>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</div>
<xsl:copy-of select="$displayData"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="string-length($displayData)">
And begin under it:
 | Be sure all of your tags are closed or it will break the display |
3. In the same display.xsl file further down, look for:
<span class="fieldLabelSpan">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length(@label)">
<xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</span>
Insert the following code:
This will remove the call number from the holdings display and change the status to: Available Online
