What we did at Morrisville:–Modify the top frame of the web OPAC main screen. Objective: Make it look more like library web pages.–Remove the copyright notice which pops up when an external URL link is clicked (For example: 856 field in full record display).
Removing copyright notice• Controlled by www-ext-copyrights in
/aleph/prod/mor/alephe/www_a_eng.• From Web PRB 151: “A copyright message is displayed when executing
the 856 external link through the WEB OPAC. If subfield $4 is added to the field, the message will not be displayed. (Note: The content of the subfield 4 doesn't matter; any text will do. It won't display unless you specify that it display)”
• Problem: would involve modifying over 1800 records at Morrisville.
How it works1. opens a temporary window (which closes)
and then loads the external page in a new window. $0100 variable stores the URL of the external page. Based on a redirect script and scripts for pop ups.
2. can set the page width of the external window. 800 by 600 seems to be a good compromise.
3. Had to use www-ext-copyrights because www-ext-copyrights-mor01 will not work.
