Hi Kelly, Your users / patrons would be logged in into their own accounts via the OPAC to access these authenticated resources? If so (assuming I understood your use-case correctly) then how about adding a bit of jQuery to OpacUserJS sys pref which does the following: 1) look up the branch code from the class of the body tag which is in form of "branch-<branchcode>" e.g. "branch-IDSK" where 'IDSK' is the branch code. 2) and then latches on the the span class name - online_resources and toggles the visibility of the URL of the resource as per #1 above (both for results and the details page) hope this helps cheers, -indranil Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg On Fri, Dec 29, 2017 at 12:23 AM, Kelly Drake <ksdrake@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi all,
We are a consortia of 7 academic libraries just setting up on Koha and have a question on how folks are handling items that have multiple, but different URLS for the same item.
For example. All the libraries subscribe to one journal, The Chronicle of Higher Education, but since this is a paid subscription with authenticating links, the users of each library need to select a different link in order to be able to authenticate.
From previous experience we know that these different links need to be extremely obvious!
Currently it looks as if Koha offers two options. 1. 856 links that can be highlighted, or called out in various ways through modification of the template. 2. Adding Item Types for each link - although in this case the URL itself is displayed (rather than any display text)
Does any one have examples of how they are handling this? and making the links, and who should click where, really obvious?
All input is greatly appreciated!
