Koha XSLT Editing - Hyperlinking the Uniform Titles Element
Hi Everyone, 3.18.03 on Linux Ubuntu 3.13.0-45 I'm attempting to learn how to modify XSLT files in order to change the look of the OPAC detail and OPAC result pages. I'm finding this an extraordinarily difficult task. CSS and HTML are much more intuitive to me than XSLT. I might be out of my league on this one. What I would like to start out doing is transforming the Uniform Titles element on the OPAC details page into hyperlinks, so that users can search on UTs from the details page. I've located MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl and am trying to learn how to add the href attribute, but am lost. Has someone attempted to do this before? If so, and provided my request is not too labor-intensive, would someone on the list be willing to help me out on this? If I perhaps see the correct way of going about this from you, I might be able to more confidently edit other areas of the XSLT pages. Right now I am quite unsure. Happy to be referred to XSLT learning guides that others use too! Many thanks!! Best to all, Craig Butosi, MA, MLIS, B Mus (Hons.)

Hyperlinks examples (lookout for the 'href'): http://www.philobiblios.net/koha/MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl.txt and http://www.philobiblios.net/koha/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl.txt cheers -idg -- Indranil Das Gupta Phone : +91-98300-20971 Blog : http://indradg.randomink.org/blog IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Please exchange editable Office documents only in ODF Format.

Craig, Basically, when you add your <a> element in the your xsl file, you can use an attribute to add your href. Something like this :
<a> <xsl:attribute name="href">http://yourUrl</xsl:attribute> Your link text </a>
Hope that helps ! Eric Bégin Solutions inLibro inc On 2015-02-28 18:09, Craig Butosi wrote:

Hi Everyone, Thanks to all who have replied regarding XSLT editing in Koha. It appears that the syntax is the source of my confusion - something to work on!
