[Koha] Customized XSLT stylesheets for more than one language

[King, Fred]

I've modified my xsl files extensively for the MedStar Authors Catalog. Two thoughts: 

First, xslt files are very easy to break. One little > out of place can make the entire display higgledy piggledy. Go back and check every modification looking for stray characters.

Second, both the Detail.xsl and Results.xsl files have to know where the Utils.xsl file is. Check to see if the path is correct. If you modify the xsl files, I'd recommend putting them somewhere else--that way when you update Koha, they won't get overwritten. So far I haven't run into an update that broke my old stylesheets. For mysterious reasons having to do with my organization's firewall, I put all of my xsl files on a different server, so my authcatDetail.xsl and authcatResults.xsl files have the line 
   <xsl:import href="http://dokument.space/scratchmonkey/authcatUtils.xsl"/>
in them. A bit clumsy, but it works.

Good luck!

Somehow it seems I managed to get old.  I really have no idea how that happened.

Hi

Our library has two Koha instances. For one of them we need to customize 
the XSLT stylesheets used for the detail page - for this instance we 
need to have our own detail page in English (en) and our own detail page 
in German (de-DE).

According to 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__koha-2Dcommunity.org_manual_18.05_en_html_02-5Fadministration.html-23opacxsltdetailsdisplay&d=DwIGaQ&c=RvBXVp2Kc-itN3g6r3sN0QK_zL4whPpndVxj8-bJ04M&r=vKh6XwOmjyC51IkP1OfsdjQZoWT2vpi6VZl8El8EPRI&m=k3ccE0qx0BrZ1JahhteabqKE3iaaR_CTKT0_IWkgpNU&s=tRQ6NTiKywKuurQ8cZg4LBNHrArda5MM2f1LB2c9-rM&e= 
I tried to do the following under Koha 18.05 in my own demo installation:

* I created the files 
"/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/MARC21slim2OPACDetail-CUSTOM.xsl" 
and 
"/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/de-DE/MARC21slim2OPACDetail-CUSTOM.xsl" 
using the original stylesheets but just making some slight changes for a 
start (for example writing "XXXEdition: " instead of "Edition: " which 
works without problems when changing the standard file) ...I also tried 
using other paths but to no avail...

* In Koha system preference "OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay" I entered 
"/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/{langcode}/MARC21slim2OPACDetail-CUSTOM.xsl"

* I restarted Koha using "service koha-common restart"

* I also restarted the Apache HTTP Server using "service apache2 restart"

However, when searching the OPAC in the normal view the actual details 
won't show up at all anymore, just the tags, the stars and the holdings 
table of the respective record; MARC view and ISBD view show the data is 
there. There seems to be something wrong when using paths, even when not 
using {langcode}... And it also doesn't work when using an external URL 
like https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__adminkuhn.ch_download_MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl&d=DwIGaQ&c=RvBXVp2Kc-itN3g6r3sN0QK_zL4whPpndVxj8-bJ04M&r=vKh6XwOmjyC51IkP1OfsdjQZoWT2vpi6VZl8El8EPRI&m=k3ccE0qx0BrZ1JahhteabqKE3iaaR_CTKT0_IWkgpNU&s=cJ2L8jrQ7DnC-CxCUX6NZA03sU-TNIUtDQKwS2M1jqw&e=

Has anyone done this before, how can this actually be achieved? What am 
I missing?

Best wishes: Michael
