[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Novelist Added Content

[Michael Schell]

Thanks for the Reply Thomas,

We are using different subdomains (ie. forterie.niagaraevergreen.ca and lincoln.niagaraevergreen.ca) so rewrite maps could possibly work.  Could you tell me about using rewrite maps in this context like I'm 5 years old?  I just checked the apache docs page and followed the concept but not how to
 implement.  currently my eg_vhost.conf file has and entry of:

# Novelist
SetEnv OILS_NOVELIST_URL http://imageserver.ebscohost.com/novelistselect/ns2init.js
SetEnv OILS_NOVELIST_PROFILE s******8.main.novsel2
SetEnv OILS_NOVELIST_PASSWORD d******Y8UiwprAA


Thanks,

I use apache rewrite maps to do per-hostname definitions of that  
particular ENV variable for MVLC. Obviously that won't work as well if  
you aren't using different hostnames (subdomains or otherwise) per  
library, though.
