[WebOpac] - Display an image for the material type

[nsid]

Hi all,

I would like to suggest to give the possibility to display an image for the material type, in the holdings area.

See my hand-made example :-)

 

I believe it will be eye-candy.

If you add this feature, please implement it, using the philosophy of shelving location images, which is simple and great and furthermore it will give each of us the possibility to add any icon we want.

Thanx for listening (always).

Yes, a graphic display of the material type would be nice. And maybe the text ("Book", "Serial", "Journal article" etc.) would just appear if you hover over the icon.

In a somewhat related note, I noticed that whatever I catalog in Serial component is displayed as "Journal article". As not all serial components are journal articles, I wonder if I can change it to something else?

That's right. Issue is noted. "Type" determination functionality will be enhanced to handle this.

We accept that it will easier to identify the material type easily through images rather than lengthy text. Issue will be handled

Good day! I have version 3 installed but the icons for material type is apparently missing (see screencap below). Where are they saved? How can I make it appear in the OPAC? Thank you.

Respected Patron,
Greetings from NGL Open Source

Creating Custom Material Types

1. Create a file named CustomMaterialTypes.xml
in C:/NewGenLibFiles/SystemFiles directory

2. The structure of file must be as follows
<Root>
    <CatalogueRecordEntryLabel>Book
            <DisplayLabel>Book</DisplayLabel>
            <Image>Book.jpg</Image>
    </CatalogueRecordEntryLabel>
    <CatalogueRecordEntryLabel>CD
            <DisplayLabel>CD</DisplayLabel>
            <Image>CD.jpg</Image>
    </CatalogueRecordEntryLabel>
</Root>


3. In your catalogue record; In 910 a; Suppose there is Book.
The system will check in the above xml for text in CatalogueRecordEntryLabel.
Since it matches, it will pick the DisplayLabel to display the text and Image to display the image.
Book.jpg image must be in apache-tomcat-6.0.32/webapps/resources/images/ directory

Looking forward to serve you.
