[OPEN-ILS-DEV] ***SPAM*** Re: ***SPAM*** Looking at BibTemplate

[Jason Boyer]

I'm working on getting a VM setup at work so I can spend more time with it,
when I was having trouble getting results with other tags I was using my
home laptop with a version of trunk that's got some age on it. All I've
tried to do there was add fields to the record display, nothing terribly
fancy. That's working out ok, I just wanted to see if it was a local issue
(looks that way) or if I was misunderstanding the scope of BibTemplate's
abilities.

Word of someone working on a results page with call numbers is what has me
working on this in the first place. I got a lot out of your EG2010
conference presentation, and one of the complaints I've heard from staff
ever since we migrated was that they wanted to see call numbers in search
results instead of loading every record individually. I didn't know that
there was a working example of a results page though, that will be a big
help.

Thanks for the pointers.

Jason
