[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] TPAC and Due Date

[Scott Thomas]

Hi Galen,
   Thank you for replying. We are in a consortium and other members may not want to hide the due date. My assumption is that OPAC templates can be customized for each individual library in a consortium. Is this assumption correct? I am new to EG and still trying to figure out how all of this fits together.

I really appreciate it.

Scott

Yes, that's a simple TPAC template customization.  I'm assuming that you're referring to the due date column on the item list on the record details page; if so, one could override the
opac/parts/record/copy_table.tt2 template and comment out or remove the following lines:

            <th scope='col'>[% l("Due Date") %]</th>

and

    <td>[% copy_info.due_date | html %]</td>

and

            <td>[%
                IF copy_info.due_date;
                    date.format(
                        ctx.parse_datetime(copy_info.due_date),
                        DATE_FORMAT
                    );
                ELSE;
                    '-';
                END %]</td>

One could also use CSS to hide that column.

Regards,

Galen
