[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Template Toolkit OPAC - Drop Down FormatProblem

[Kristi Chadwick]

Hi,

Thanks to Bill Erickson for answering my questions last week. C/W MARS
has downloaded the latest code for template toolkit from the Evergreen
git server, however I am still having an issue with the Item Type/Format
drop down, with nothing appearing in it
http://eg-training.cwmars.org/eg/opac/advanced. Is there another setting
within the Admin menus I should be looking at to make this fall-through
that was referenced work?

Also, I was wondering if the pref_settings.tt2 is being worked on
(especially for Checkout History opt-in), along with the Advanced
Numeric and Expert Search screens? I couldn't find reference in the
repository, but I may have missed them.

Thank you,

Kristi

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.
