[Koha] I'm confused about where normal view customization occurs

[Doug Dearden]

Ah, OK.  I have multiple databases and have turned on the xsl option on one of them and used it to customize how the clickable links appear, as that database is cataloging on-line resources.  I ran into trouble turning on xsl for the other databases, as the "prog" directory is hard coded in many places in the code, and copying the file structure over to a new directory and pointing a second database at that structure didn't work, too many things still fetched from "prog".  Because of that I left the xsl option off on the main catalog DB.  

So is the answer to my question that the customization for this occurs at the Perl template level?  Or is there some other place in the Admin that I can add other fields to the Title line in the Normal View? 

Thanks,

Doug

The screenshots in the manual are probably different because some were
taken with XSL on and others with it off.  There are two system
preferences that control this and can be found here:

Specifically, we currently see the 245$a field as the Title in the search results and detail view page.  Is there a way in the Admin screens to change the display so the 245$b subfield is appended to the 245$a subfield, and display both as the Title?  I thought this would be customizable from within the frameworks, but I don't seem to be having any luck.  Looking at the doc on this page: https://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/Home/Table-of-Contents/opac/opac-details-page the samples show titles with two different formats, one of which appears to be displaying info that is normally in the 245$b field.
