[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How to set up Syndetic AddedContent in TPAC? (EG 2.2.0)

[Ben Shum]

Hi Yamil,

Not sure about the default providers, but my opensrf.xml has a line like:

<base_url>http://syndetics.com/index.aspx</base_url>

Which follows the module definition.

I'm guessing that's necessary to perform the lookups too.
