[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Staff Client

[Brandon W. Uhlman]

Hi, Grant.

We managed to do what you're looking for in Sitka, but it's more a  
side-effect of our branding approach than a conscious decision. In  
Sitka, every site has it's own OPAC skin and theme, in order to  
preseve local branding.

You should be able to get your desired result by changing your public  
OPAC links to point at a skin where either the JS or XML files are  
edited to not show the item barcode. Your staff clients, meanwhile,  
will stick with the default skin.

The command that sets the default skin for us was in eg.conf in the  
Apache config directory. We're the only production site anywhere using  
Gentoo, though, AFAIK, so it could be somewhere else for you.

RedirectMatch 307 ^/$ /opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/index.xml

Happy hunting!
