Re: [Koha] Linking the bibliographic record to Wikipedia
Try this script in opac-detail.pl, following http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library: var names = $('h5.author a').not('.authlink'); for (var i=0; i < names.length; i++) { var name_string = $(names[i]).text(); // mostly surname, name var fs = name_string.split(', '); var H = new Array; H.push(' <span class="W_link">'); H.push('<a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search='); H.push(encodeURIComponent(fs[1]+' '+fs[0])); H.push('">[W]</a>'); H.push('</span>'); $(names[i]).after(H.join('')); }; It adds a link to the right of each name. Links are searches on Wikipedia, but if the search is exact, W redirects the browser to the article. Change [W] with an icon of your choice. HTH. Stefano On 09/feb/2014, Haik Zargaryan wrote:
Dear list,
I know that koha has a feature to link the biblio record to the authority record by creating a "magnifying glass" icon near the author name. ?Once you click the icon, which is actually a link, the authority record is opened. Furthermore, you can link the authority record to Wikipedia.
I would like to know whether koha has a feature to add an icon (similar o the aforementioned one) that links the bibliographic record's authot to the respective Wikipedia article. ?If no, are there plans to develop such a feature in the future releases?
Thanks in advance, haik.
