[ipac] [HORIZON-L] MARC Display and hotlinks in HIP

[Natasha Stephan]

Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who responded.  I'm getting braver every day, but I
have yet to actually decide what I'm actually going to do.  I noticed
that the 856 tag in the full bib is a brighter blue and underlined, so I
briefly considered copying the formatting for that to the other fixed
elements and adding them back.  But then I got confused, so I decided
just to make sure I have good backups of all my XSL files.
 
On that note, does anyone know what the XSL files beginning with the
word "default" are?  It appears that I edited one of them once... or at
least, I edited something that edited one of them... 
Thanks,
Natasha

Natasha,

 

Congratulations. We never liked the fixed elements and got rid of them
almost immediately lo these many years ago. At least in our case, if you
turn on the MARC Display button, it appears in the Holdings Information
box on the left. As we did this only for a profile used by staff, we
didn't do anything else to it. But I don't think you'll need to
customize anything.

 

Unless I missed something over the years, the only way to add
underscoring to the links is to do your own customization. You're
welcome to use ours  which is documented at:

Good luck.

Hi all,

I've finally gotten rid of the fixed elements in HIP!  Staff had tired
of the word "by" next to the author(s); we'd already removed it in our
auction catalog display, as we didn't to show a "by" next to the auction
house name.  Several people wondered why Subject and Series appeared
with bullet points and double-spaced.  We also could not display
multiple titles in the Title fixed element, such as the 880 (vernacular,
e.g. Chinese character) equivalent to tag 245.  Formerly, we compensated
for all of this by displaying limited information with the fixed
elements and then re-displaying everything below them.  But this morning
we decided to get rid of redundant information once and for all!

 

This meant we also turned off the left-hand "More" bar.  So my first
question, for anyone who has done this, is how hard was it to add a MARC
Display link elsewhere in the XML?  I've done minor edits, but for
anything big I'd probably need to copy-and-paste.

 

My second question is have any of you changed the color of hotlinks in
HIP?  Or gotten them to be underlined?  I noticed that they're kind of
grey-blue, perhaps so as to be unobtrusive.  But that, combined with the
fact that they're not underlined, makes it hard to tell what's hot
linked and what's not.  Especially on the summary display, where all of
the bibliographic information is in the same grey-blue, but only the
title is hot linked.

Thanks,

Natasha
