We are using LibLime Enterprise Koha. We've noticed that our public Lists in the OPAC only display title, author, and date. Patrons (and staff) would find it helpful if we could have 1 more nugget of info... either Call Number, Itemtype, or Shelving Location... we know there are limits to what we can change through LLEK... does anyone out there use LLEK and know how to change the info displayed in OPAC Lists? Please and thank you. Sally Bannen Adult Services/Catalog Librarian Windham Public Library Windham, ME 04062

This change would require changes to the underlying code. There are probably plenty who would be glad to contract to make the needed changes. However, there would be no guarantee that they would make it back in the LLEK code base which would not benefit you in your current situation. Kind Regards, Chris

Hi Sally The sad thing for everyone in the Koha community is that because you are running a fork of Koha not actual Koha, it is pretty much impossible for us to help you :( We don't know what the code you are using actually looks like, nor whether any change we make to Koha would ever make it into LLEK. The only one who can make the change to LLEK is Liblime. Maybe another Liblime customer has had Liblime do this for them already? I guess the Liblime mailing list is the best place to ask. I'm really sorry we can't help, it sounds like it would be a small template change to get it to work. Chris

Hi Sally

Chris Cormack and Chris Nighswonger both raise good points, but I do want to add one thing - while users of mainstream Koha are limited in our ability to help you directly because of the divergence between mainstream Koha and LLEK, I do want to say that users of LLEK should feel free to communicate with each other via this mailing list to help each other out. In other words, you're all still welcome here!

Hi Barbara, Not sure if it is what you are requesting, but does the system preference in the "Searching" section called "***OPACItemsResultsDisplay <http://unfao.koha-ptfs.eu:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl?op=add_form&searchfield=OPACItemsResultsDisplay>*" help you? It can "show full location of items (branch+location+callnumber) as in staff interface", but only on the detailed item display and not the search result list. Hope this helps...

Unfortunately this only applies to the search results screen, not to the Lists view. I think a good argument can be made that *all* lists of titles should appear with the same kinds of details which appear in the search results screen: Lists, Cart, the user's checked-out items, etc, so I hope what Barbara describes will make it into a future version. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
