Changes
Planned
I would like to merge the functionality of the WebVoyage 7 (Tomcat) additional redirects with this code, but haven't yet worked out how.
Version 1.0 - 21 January 2010
Original release
Release notes
Currently on version 7.0.4, we have only 4 redirects:
- Author
- Title
- Subject
- Call number (DDC/LC)
This template will allow any links to be created for searches on the OPAC, in a similar way to the regular redirectOn option:
- although the syntax and setup is more advanced/less sysadmin friendly.
There are 4 options which are required:
- preText -any text you want to appear before the subfield data as the link text
- postText - any text you want to appear after the subfield data as link text
- altText- any "alternative text" you might want to use as a tooltip (displays when mouse hovers over the link, using standard html code)
- newSearchCode - the new search key you want to use (such as GKEY, etc). This code has to be defined in your searching options.
There is also a change required for the displaycfg.xml for each of the fields you want to specify the subfields for.
