Hi! We have the same query, I posted this two weeks ago: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/koha-item-types-dropdown-instead-of-librar... I was actually able to implement this in the Koha ILS project I am working, I just follow the lead of Fridolin Somers. I came up with this jquery: $("#select_library option[value='branch:LastLibraryInMastHeadPullDown']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:BK\'>Books</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:BK']").attr("selected","selected"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:BK']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:RETRATO\'>Images (Retrato)</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:RETRATO']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:RETRATO']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:HIMIG\'>Himig (Songs)</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:HIMIG']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:HIMIG']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:HIMIGALBUMS\'>Himig (Albums) </option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:HIMIGALBUMS']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:HIMIGALBUMS']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:MAPS-RARE\'>Maps - Rare </option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MAPS-RARE']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MAPS-RARE']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:MAPS-US\'>Maps - US Army </option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MAPS-US']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MAPS-US']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:AV\'>Audio-visuals</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:AV']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:AV']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:MANUSCRIPT\'>Manuscripts</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MANUSCRIPT']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MANUSCRIPT']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:MICROFICHE\'>Microfiche</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MICROFICHE']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:MICROFICHE']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:PAMPHLET\'>Pamphlet</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:PAMPHLET']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:PAMPHLET']").after("<option value=\'mc-itype,phr:SER\'>Serials</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:SER']"); $("#select_library option[value='mc-itype,phr:SER']").after("<option value=\'branch:FHL\'>All Item Types</option>"); $("#select_library option[value='branch:FHL']"); So what this does is: 1) the first two codes adds a dropdown with search for item type Books after the Last Library in the MastHead Search, 2) And then add further other item types, you can get the itemtypes in your Authorized values, 3) Last two codes are for all item types, and this one is actually using the value for the only Library in our Koha ILS project, which is FHL. This last code I feel, there could be a better jquery script, but it works for us since we only have one library. Hope this helps.
