[Koha] How to hide Subfield in OPAC

[Ketut Gunawan]

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your explanation. Hope it could be possible in the future.
I tried to copy your script (hide-pdf-urls.js) in OPACUserJS, and searched collection with PDF file in 856$u. But it doesn't change the link of "Online access: Click here to access online" both in the search result and detail.pl page (the link still goes to my PDF file). Do I miss something in the setting?

Regards,
Ketut Gunawan

Hi Ketut,

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's possible to modify the display of records based on whether or not someone is signed in. You can modify their display by editing Koha's XSLT templates. See Koha > koha-tmpl > opac-tmpl > bootstrap > en > xslt, here's an example one. But there is no way to change these conditionally based on whether a user is authenticated or not.

You could simulate this with some jQuery: https://gist.github.com/phette23/f4595ae6b8bddcf8d55cd12cc378253a

You would add this to your OPACUserJS setting. But it's not truly safe; users could disable JavaScript and they would see the PDF URLs, or they could view or export the underlying bibliographic record to find the URL. The only truly safe way to do this is to put the PDFs behind authentication somewhere e.g. in an institutional repository.
