[Koha] Turning a MARC field into a URL

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello,
To make it clickable you need to check the "Is a url" flag when
editing the framework.

> I'm trying to add a new MARC field that's a URL. I've created field 858 in the MARC framework, then added subfields a and b. Under Advanced Constraints in subfield b I checked the box "Is a URL." The description says:
>    Subfield, Text, Constraints
>    a, ORCID, Tab:8, Repeatable, Not mandatory
>    b, ORCID link, Tab:8, Repeatable, Not mandatory, is a URL
>
> Under Cataloging preferences, the URLLinkText is blank.

>             <xsl:if test="marc:datafield[@tag=858]">
>                   <span class="results_summary authors">
>                         <span class="label">ORCID: </span>
>                         <xsl:for-each select="marc:datafield[@tag=858]">
>                               <xsl:call-template name="subfieldSelect">
>                                     <xsl:with-param name="codes">ab</xsl:with-param>
>                               </xsl:call-template>
>                               <!-- added to put semi-colon and space between entries -->
>                               <xsl:choose>
>                                     <xsl:when test="position()=last()">
>                                           <xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
>                                     </xsl:when>
>                                     <xsl:otherwise>
>                                           <xsl:text>; </xsl:text>
>                                     </xsl:otherwise>

> The problem is that when I search for a record containing this field, the text for the b subfield appears, but it isn't a URL-I can see it, but I can't click on it. I tried putting the b subfield in "http://a.web.link.us" format; I didn't think it would work, and it doesn't.
