Hi,
No real problem, rather just want people's opinion on this.
For OPAC or Staff Client text string UI artifacts - e.g, labels, what do you prefer to do?
a) hand edit the template file
or
b) use a bit of jquery in either intranetuserjs / opacuserjs for on-the-fly replacement
My personal preference is to use approach "b"
Hi Indranil b) Is almost always the best option, Next best is to use the translation tools to create a local .po file, edit that and generate a new set of templates. The last resort, if you can do nothing else is a). Option b and the translation option will not create a file that is going to be overwritten on upgrade. Option a) means you either have to run out of git, or manually remake that change every upgrade. What usually happens is if people do a few a) they then decide upgrading is hard, and don't upgrade for things like bug or security releases and make a rod for their own backs.
