[Koha] Question re: NPL OPAC icons & ItemTypes

[Rachel Hamilton-Williams]

Hi

> Given the complexity of the genre categories with some GMDs (text,
videorecording, etc.), I am wondering, Stephen, if it would be
practicable to use a simpler set of ItemTypes and have the OPAC icon
called by another field. I assume there is a line of code that tells
Koha if ItemType = X then icon = X'.

Yep that's excatly right - well it's what we do anyway for HLT and our 
other clients. We have just one "book" icon, and all the itemtypes that 
someone would think of as books use the same icon.

Cheers
Rachel
