How to implement OPAC acq request?

Description

This is a step by step explanation for activating the Acquisition request form for the Aleph WEB OPAC

Solution

After completing this how-to you will have ...

Step 1

Begin by connecting to the Aleph server and selecting the www_f_lng directory for the specific language interface you are working on.

In this workflow we use as example the www_f_eng directory

In the files:

./alephe/www_f_eng/full-set-head-ill-00

./alephe/www_f_eng/full-set-head-ill-02

./alephe/www_f_eng/full-set-head-bor

add the following lines after Definition of Save on Server:

<a href="&server_f?func=acq-request-doc&doc_library=$0900&source_doc=$0600"

title="Create Acq Request" class="blue">

Acq Request</a>

</td>

 | 

</td>

Step 2

In the files:

./alephe/www_f_eng/head-replace-ill-00

./alephe/www_f_eng/head-replace-ill-02

./alephe/www_f_eng/head-replace

add the following lines after Definition of Special Request:

|

</td>

ACQ Request</a>

</td>

Step 3

In the files:

./alephe/www_f_eng/head-1-bor

./alephe/www_f_eng/head-1-bor-ill-00

./alephe/www_f_eng/head-1-bor-ill-02

add the following lines after Definition of Special Request:

|

</td>

ACQ Request</a>

</td>

Step 4

In the files:

./alephe/www_f_eng/bor-include-1

./alephe/www_f_eng/bor-include-2

add the following lines after Definition of Title Request:

 | 

</td>

<a href="javascript:replacePage('&server_f?func=bor-acq');"

title="Acq Requests" class="blue">

Acq Requests</a>

</td>

Step 5

In the files:

./alephe/www_f_eng/bor-info

./alephe/www_f_eng/bor-info-single-adm

<tr>

Total acq requests</a>

</td>

 $5100

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

Active acq requests</a>

</td>

 $5200

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

Recently acq closed requests</a>

</td>

 10 days

</td>

 30 days

</td>

 60 days

</td>

</tr>

Step 6

In file:

./alephe/www_f_eng/bor-info-no-z305

add the following lines after Definition of ILL Active Requests:

<tr>

Total acq requests</a>

</td>

 $5100

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

Active acq requests</a>

</td>

 $5200

</td>

</tr>

Step 7

Add the following files in ./alephe/www_f_eng/ :

login-acq-session

acq-request-doc-head

acq-request-confirm

acq-request

bor-acq-tail

bor-acq-no-acq

bor-acq-head

bor-acq-exp-data

bor-acq-exp-cancel

bor-acq-exp-back

bor-acq-body

acq-request-doc-tail-conf

acq-request-doc-tail

acq-request-doc-head-conf

In file:

./[adm_library]/tab/pc_tab_exp_field.lng

Add the following line:

ACQ_ORDER_STATUS L OPAC new order ONW

Step 8

./aleph/error_eng/www_f_heading

Add the following lines:

9930 L Order No. $1 was cancelled successfully.

9931 L Order No. $1 could not been cancelled.

9932 L An error occurred while trying to find doc in base.

9933 L An error occured while trying to create $1 record. No Acq request was created.

9934 L An error occured while trying to create new order.

9935 L Acq request was submitted successfully.

9936 L Submitting ACQ request requires identification.

9937 L Multiple matching records were found for your query. Please repeat your search in the General Library Catalog.

9938 L A match was found. Press Cancel and connect to the General Catalog to locate it. Press Go to create a request.

Step 9

The following definition should be added to

./[bib_library]/tab/tab100:

OPAC-NEW-ACQ=Y

Step 10

- In order for a patron to be entitled for creating Acq requests z61_new_book_permission should be set to 'Y';

- z303_home_library for the patron must have valid sub-library/ADM library to determine the ADM for the new order.

Final Step

Field codes and subfields defined in the parameters name definition within html pages (e.g. BIB___250__a_1300) must match definitions under ./[bib_library]/tab/tab_locate.

If there will be no match, then searching DataBase will not be done for the same details inserted by the user.

Check and works on these html pages:

./alephe/www_f_eng/acq-request

./alephe/www_f_eng/acq-request-confirm
