> Since we commissioned the work to create the system preference OPACMySummaryHTML I feel that it might be appropriate to share some knowledge of the details. This preference lets you add a column of custom HTML to “My summary” that can be used to for example share the OPAC-page for each book on Facebook. Four variables are available for use: {AUTHOR}, {TITLE}, {ISBN} and {BIBLIONUMBER} and Koha replaces these with the proper value when rendering the page. The following code creates a simple text-link to share on Facebook.

> You’d need to insert your own OPAC url of course, but otherwise it should be fine to use.

> Should you wonder how to activate this function then this is what you need to do:
>
>
>
> 1) Log in to the staff interface and click “System preferences”. You may need help from an administrator if you don’t have access to the system preferences.
>
>
>
> 2) Search the preferences for “mysummaryhtml” and click the link “Click to edit”. It can also be found in the “Appearance”-section of the OPAC-tab in the preferences.
>
>
>
> 3) Paste the code above, change the URL to the one you use for your OPAC and save.
>
>
>
> There are of course many potential uses so feel free to share examples should you do something fun with it :) The function is included in Koha from version 3.4 and I’d like to give credit to Magnus Enger of Libriotech in Norway for doing the actual development.
