Hi, I want to have links with external urls (http://www.amazon.com, etc), in my opac page, when i try doing this the conventional way (eg: <a href="http://www.any-website.com">link1</a>) in the opacnav secction, it doesnt open the page. How can i go about this? Thanks
Please copy and paste this in your OPAC Nav, for example opac nav right <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title></title> </head> <body> <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> </body> </html> On 11/11/2013, Arnold <danielagaba@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:

No, do not do this. The OPAC customization regions are not iframes, so putting a complete HTML document in them makes no sense.

This really should work, so I wonder if there is an HTML markup error somewhere else in your OpacNav region? Is that all the HTML you're putting there? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
Agreeing with Owen here, please don't put a whole HTML doc in those customisation regions.. It looks like you've got markup problems somewhere.. If you post the opac url here maybe one of us might help spot where the markup is failing Martin Renvoize Software Engineer, PTFS Europe Ltd Content Management and Library Solutions Skype: Landline: 0203 286 8685 Mobile: 07725985636 http://www.ptfs-europe.com On 11 November 2013 11:19, Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> wrote:

Hi, it should work using the "conventional" way. :) Can you paste the exact entry in your opacnav system preference? Is the link text showing up correctly in your OPAC? What happens when you click on it? Katrin

The folks are right. Sorry for for leading you down the wrong path. Actually this; <a href="http://www.amazon.com">Amazon</a> works like a charm just tried it my self. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. I was doing it the wrong way, now I know. The Koha community is great! On 11/11/2013, Arnold <danielagaba@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
