Style Configuration for Staff Client
Hi, Our library has upgraded to the new version of Koha (19.05.00 on Debian 9 using packages). We have a number of older librarians who are experiencing trouble with the new "flat" style of the staff Basic editor (addbiblio.pl). They prefer this to the Advanced Editor so I don't want to teach them a new routine. I have looked through the documentation, Bugzilla and the lists and did not see anything that stood out about how to configure a CSS for this page or change the look and feel. I freely admit that I might have missed something that is clearly documented. What I am trying to accomplish is to add some contrast to the tabs and adjust where the field entry boxes appear on the screen. Am I out of bounds in trying to make these style changes (I like to stay as generic as possible in the configuration), or where should I look? Also, I noticed that when you select "Save and continue editing" the page focus is charged to tab 9 rather than returning to the tab you were working on. This is new behavior, but is it the expected behavior now? Thanks for this great Koha community!! --Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David L.

Hi, Dave. I don't know of a configuration specifically for that page, but you can apply CSS generally for the staff client using either of these preferences: intranetstylesheet and IntranetUserCSS. intranetstylesheet is for a stylesheet document, either on the Koha server or a remote server. IntranetUserCSS is for inserting CSS directly in Koha's system preferences. You can target the page easily since the <body> tag has, what I assume is, a unique ID, "#cat_addbiblio". <body id="cat_addbiblio" class="cat"> I've done some CSS for our staff client, though not for the cataloging editor nor for version 19.05. In case you're not familiar with the CSS configurations in general, they're all under Global system preferences in Koha administration. in this case in the Staff client tab. I hope this helps.

Hi David, I filed a bug for the behavior you described in the last paragraph. For me it was always the first tab when testing on master, there might be slight differences between versions. Please feel free to add to it and comment! *Bug 23169* <https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23169> - When using "Save and continue editing" you are always sent to the first tab -- Katrin On 14.06.19 19:48, David Whelchel wrote:
