If you're using 2.3, someone may have toggled the interface on the portal page. To remedy this, click "Toggle Template Toolkit OPAC Use" at the bottom of the right hand column.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Different Everygreen search screens

We have a (possibly strange) problem. We have two Everygreen Staff Client workstations (presently 2.3), both on Linux (CentOS 5) boxes. The *exact* same version of the staff client is installed -- it is on a shared (NFS mounted) disk. Each workstation does have a separate user login (and thus separate $HOME/.openils directories). The two work stations display a *different* screen for searching. One is considered 'bad' (arcane, hard to use, etc.) and the other is consided 'good' (user friendly, easy to use, etc.). We don't know how we got to this state (maybe a library staff person clicked on something somewhere or something like that) and don't know how to revert (?) the bad screen to the good screen. *I'm* guessing that it is something in the $HOME/.openils directory that is causing this, but I don't know what. I am not sure if it is sane or correct to just copy the HOME/.openils from one workstation account to the other -- there might be stuff there that should not be 'shared' (actually user prefrences won't matter, but the workstations have separate identities that probably should not be muddled).
