[Koha] Show online subscription info only to patrons

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Eric,

you could add a new page to the OPAC using |RestrictedPageContent and 
|||RestrictedPageTitle system preferences. Then use OpacNav or similar 
to add a link to the new page. It will look like: [Your 
OpacBaseUrl]/cgi-bin/koha/opac-restrictedpage.pl. The page is only 
accessible when you are logged in and will ask for log in otherwise. We 
have used this in a library where a database they licensed offers 
authentication by referrer.
||

||Thinking of it, I seem to remember that a news item set to a specific 
library is also only visible when logged in. So this might be another 
option.
||

||Hope this helps!||

||Katrin

Basically, you would need to edit the pages related to the OPAC content to add this option. Check Koha Administration -> Global Preferences -> OPAC for pages impacted. I think the wiki might have helpful information, too.

Unless I'm mistaken, there's no feature for this right now. Does anyone else have a similar situation and, if so, how do you handle it? I know there are a variety of things we can do, I'm just looking for ideas.
