Is there an easy way to link a record to a specific URL? With other words to have a hyperlink on a specific record to take you to e.g. an html or pdf file to supply more info on this record? Thanks for any help.
If this is a public link the best way would be to find the record in your OPAC and copy the URL for the details page. If it's a private link you should be able to do the same in the staff interface. You would end up with something like: http://[your.opac.site.here]/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=55874 On Mon, 2009-06-29 at 19:26 +0200, C W Nel wrote:

There's a url field on the Item data (field u in my copy) but it doesn't seem to be displayed in the prog templates (it's passed into the ITEM_RESULTS in opac-detail.tmpl if you want to add it). There may be other fields which could be used. I didn't find an obvious candidate and I asked in IRC #koha half an hour ago without reply yet. Any of the templaters know how URLs can be displayed easily in the current mainline koha releases? A quick search of the manual found nothing obvious - the URI field isn't even shown on http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/cataloging/adding-and-deleting-item...

Thanks MJ I did come right. I put the link into the URI field and the text for the link in the text field. Then "Online Resources" appear in the OPAC and the link works 100% ----- Original Message ----- From: "MJ Ray" <mjr@phonecoop.coop> To: <koha-devel@lists.koha.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 11:21 AM Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] hypertext link

Thanks. I'm seeing the fields from the biblio's MARC21 tag 856 on the opac-detail.pl page, but never the u subfield from the item. Is this correct operation?

Hmmm - I too see that, but I'm not sure what the expected behavior should be. --- Nicole C.
