Hi Kristi,

I'd recommend updating your copy of the template toolkit code.  I 
recently submitted a fix to this problem.  The code will now fall 
through to the MARC item_type if no mattype configuration is defined.

The latest code now lives on the new Evergreen git server in the 
"evergreen/equinox.git" repository in the "template-toolkit-opac" branch.

http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=evergreen/equinox.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/template-toolkit-opac

I'll update the wiki to match.

Admin -> Server Administration -> MARC Coded Value Maps.

Note, the template toolkit OPAC requires (at minimum) Evergreen 2.1 to 
function.
