[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Searching for author using the link in search results

Hi Eva,

I think I see where the problem might be.  In
Open-ILS/src/templates/opac/parts/misc_util.tt2, there is a function
at the beginning for get_graphic_880s.  Around line 10, there's a
portion that looks like this:

FOR subnode IN node.findnodes('./*[not(contains("w 0 4 5 6 8 9", @code))]');

So that says to ignore all those subfields during the graphic 880
dance, but absent is your custom subfield 7.

If you edit that file to include 7 among the subfields to be ignored,
then the link should be fixed on your systems to keep that out of the
link content.

You may want to file this bug in Launchpad and we can submit a fix for
this in future releases so that you do not have to customize it
locally.  But that should get you moving in the right direction again,
I hope.
