Koha - fields to display in the opac
Newbie question: What controls which fields display in the opac? We use a lot of note fields that aren't appearing.

-- Hi Linda
What version of Koha, and are you using the XSLT display or regular? Chris
Hi all, This isn't exactly a Koha question, but I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help! I'm trying to configure a Metrologic Voyager barcode scanner so that it applies a prefix before the barcode that specifies how many digits are in the barcode. So, for example, barcode 123456789 would scan as 09123456789 (since it has nine digits), and barcode 123456 would scan as 06123456 (since it has six digits). I just can't seem to find a setting that does that, and tech support for Metrologic seems to be AWOL. Does anyone have any ideas? It's driving me nuts- any help much appreciated!

I'm not sure of the exact solution, but you probably need to consult your Single Line Configuration guide which came with the scanner. The link to a downloadable version along with other information and links to Honeywell's page for the Voyager can be found on the Koha wiki here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Barcode_Scanners/MS9590_VoyagerGS Kind Regards, Chris
Hi, Actually some scanners have a built-in function where you can "program" them to apply a prefix. And the programming takes place by making them read some special barcodes. I used some symbol scanners on which I did this programming by reading the user manual. It was not very complicated as the programming sequence is quite basic: read code for programming mode, read code for preffix, read digits for prefix, read code for apply. Then all codes read would be preffixed. And this was no complicated scanner, just one plugged in usb with no memory or other features. Hope it gives and additional idea, Len www.len.ro On 10/20/2010 12:38 AM, Jennifer Tobias wrote:

I have one machine set up with 3.00.05.003 and xslt and another with 3.01.00.140 (the 3.2 download) that is set up regular right now. The XSLT version is showing a little more of what I want but not all, so I wasn't sure if that's what I should be using on the 3.2 version or not. On 1:59 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:

It's very difficult (at least in my experience) to modify what fields/subfields are displayed in non-XSLT mode. It's much easier to modify what shows with XSLT on, but it does require modifying the XSLT files on the server as a code change. Depending on what you want to show, it may be something others would like and you could submit a patch for the change.
