[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] URL Display in PAC

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Don,

No, not at all. Don't ever worry about being pesty. We've all been 
through those early go-live days and know how many questions they can 
generate.

In this case, it looks like you aren't working with Located URI's, so 
the relevant code for the display of URL's is in the parts/misc_util.tt2 
file.


         # Extract the 856 URLs that are not otherwise represented by 
asset.uri's
         args.online_res = [];
         FOR node IN xml.findnodes('//*[@tag="856" and @ind1="4" and 
(@ind2="0" or @ind2="1")]');
             IF node.findnodes('./*[@code="9" or @code="w" or 
@code="n"]'); NEXT; END; # asset.uri's
             label = node.findnodes('./*[@code="y"]');
             notes = node.findnodes('./*[@code="z" or @code="3"]');
             FOR href IN node.findnodes('./*[@code="u"]');
                 NEXT UNLESS href;
                 # it's possible for multiple $u's to exist within 1 856 
tag.
                 # in that case, honor the label/notes data for the 
first $u, but
                 # leave any subsequent $u's as unadorned href's.
                 # use href/link/note keys to be consistent with args.uri's
                 args.online_res.push({
                     href => href.textContent,
                     link => (loop.first AND label) ? label.textContent 
: href.textContent,
                     note => (loop.first) ? notes.textContent : ''
                 });
             END;

As you can see from the above code, anything in subfield z or subfield 3 
should display as a note. However, I think the problem you've 
encountered is that you are using both a subfield 3 and a subfield z. I 
tested this combination, and the notes do indeed disappear when both 
subfields are used. There may be an easy fix for this (it might be 
worthwhile to file a Launchpad bug), but, in the meantime, you might 
want to restrict yourself to just one of these subfields.

I am able to display four URLs in a record without any problem. Do all 
of your URL's have a first indicator of 1 and a second indicator of 
either 0 or 1? If they do not, then they will not display.

We actively try not to use copy records to represent our electronic 
items, so this feature would not be useful for us.

I hope this helps!
