- Description
This code contribution illustrates how to configure a proper series link in TomCat WebVoyage, so that series links work through searching on series data, rather than title data. We've noticed that results from Series data are more relevant, and more comprehensive using this method.

Release notes
This works in our configuration where we have a Search Index (Keyword Definition) for the code SERI - this code shows how we have this functioning in our OPAC.
See the screenshots above for SysAdmin for an example of how this is configured at our site.
Installation instructions
Here's the code in full, from Voyager 7.0.4 - add the lines which should be shown below in black (but somehow aren't).
Basically it involves inserting two lines of xml into:
skin_name/xsl/contentLayout/display/display.xsl
under the clause for redirectSearchCode:
<xsl:variable name="redirectSearchCode">
- just under the entry for title, add:
<xsl:when test="$bibSearchRedirect='series'"><xsl:value-of select="'SERI'"/> </xsl:when>
under the clause for redirectSearchType:
<xsl:variable name="redirectSearchType">
- just under the entry for title, add:
<xsl:when test="$bibSearchRedirect='series'"><xsl:value-of select="'1'"/> </xsl:when>
as shown below...
below is an excerpt from
skin_name/xsl/contentLayout/configs/displaycfg.xml
by using series rather than title as the redirect, again, as shown in black.
