[Koha] displaying item types

[Rachel Hollis]

Are you using a collection code? With the staff OPAC, I noticed that the item type icon goes away when collection code is in use. I have selected collection code icons also but neither is displayed in records with a collection code selection. The public OPAC does not display item type or collection code icons in my catalog though it does display type as coded in the MARC fixed fields both in search result screens and in individual item screens. I'm glad that it does but don't know if I did anything to make it display this way.

I too would like status and due date to not display with certain item types (reference) but do not know how to do that. I hope this is a little useful and that other more knowledge folks will post better answers.

Firstly, I really must thank everyone who has responded to my requests for help.  I haven't thanked everyone individually but have had really useful answers to the most stupid-sounding enquiries!

Another one I'm afraid- where is the switch that enables item types to be displayed in the opac?  I get boxes showing location; call number; status and due date.  (I don't actually want status or due date so it would be useful to know how to get rid of those too.)  Or alternatively is there some other way of displaying the type of item (book, journal or whatever) ?  I see on one of the demo sites that the type is displayed underneath the title, not in a box.  Either would do me fine, just some way of showing what the item is.

Thanks again

Jan
