I successfully uploaded a file in tag 856$u but when I checked it out in OPAC, I'm getting Error 404 (Sorry, the requested page is not available). I already choose "upload.pl" in plugin in the bibliographic framework. What should I do? Thanks.
Just in case you haven't received an answer, here's mine: I can think of several ways to do this, if I understand your situation correctly. Everyone else, please chime in if I'm wrong. I'm using MARC21 on Koha 22.11. Let's call your library's URL http://library.aq. Let's also say that you have access to another server called http://documents.aq. Both systems are running on Ubuntu, which is the only system I know how to do this on. I'm also using http, not https. I don't think it matters in this case. The document is avengingchicken.pdf The 856$u field is looking for a URL to the file, rather than the file itself. So, you need to figure out where the file is. The easiest way would be to put it on the external server. If you upload it to the directory a lot of systems use, it would be in /var/www/html, and the URL you'd put in the 856$u would be http://documents.aq/avengingchicken.pdf. If you don't have an external server available, you can put it on the Koha server itself. (I learned this fairly recently for reasons explained below.) If you upload your file to /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs, it's accessible as, for example, http://library.aq/avengingchicken.pdf. You can configure your Ubuntu server to use a different directory by using symbolic links, but let's not get into that today. Unfortunately, both of these require the ability to upload files to a server. I use FileZilla to transfer files--free and easy to use. If you can't log in as root, it's still possible but it gets more complicated. If you know a friendly sysadmin, they might do it for you. Give them cookies. But wait, I hear you say, can't you do this directly from Koha? You can, but I still haven't figured out how to do it. I know that you need to set the access directory and upload directory in the /etc/koha/sites/(yourlibrary)/koha-conf.xml (towards the bottom of the screen), and that Koha gives the file a 32-character hash tag. After that, I got horribly lost, which is why I figured out a different way. Good luck!

Building on Fred's answer about the part on doing it within Koha... Check your koha-conf.xml to make sure your upload path is valid and a writable directory. Check your OpacBaseURL system preference, it should contain the URL to your OPAC, starting with http(s) and no trailing slash. Using Fred's example, it would be http://library.aq As far as I know, the upload plugin will take care of the 32-character hash. No need to worry about that part. You only need to upload the file and select it directly from the plugin.

Hi, As far as I know, no. Not within Koha settings. I think you'd need to change the XSLT file to alter the HTML "a" tag and add the target=blank part. Regards, Caroline On 2023-03-23 21:12, Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel wrote:
