[Koha] koha item types dropdown instead of library dropdown

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

It would be quite possible. The following code that Fridolin Somers posted on march 19 could serve as an inspiration.

$(document).ready(function() {
 $("select#masthead_search").append("<option value=\"yr\">Publication year</option>");
})

What it does is that you paste it into the system preference ”opacuserjs” and it adds a field ”Publication year” to the drop down menu. Koha doesn’t care that this field was custom made as long as it adheres to standard querys that could just as well have come from advanced search. What you need to do is to compile a list of all the codes for the item types you have (look in admin or get it from the html of advanced search that has the item types). Then create a little jquery snippet that inserts a drop down with these options at the appropriate place. You could probably have someone help you with that last part as long as you have a list of the values that should go into the drop down.

Kind regards/Viktor

I forgot that the library pulldown for libraries can be hidden through global
system preference OpacAddMastheadLibraryPulldown. However, the project I'm
working with would like to add a dropdown for item types, will that be
possible? Thanks in advance and cheers!
