Description:
We've set up a Syndetics link in Full View but would like to add it to brief view as other Aleph users have done. We've tried adding the ICON field to www_tab_short.eng and amending short-a-head-abc01 and short-a-body-abc01 accordingly, but although we can get a column headed 'Cover' to appear, we can't get any actual cover images.

Resolution:
It doesn't work like you describe. You need to do the following:

1) Change the abc01 www_tab_short.eng:

From:
8 L Cover 00 00 0100 U ## ICON

To:
8 L Cover 00 00 0100 U ## 020

2) Change $alephe_root/www_f_eng/short-a-body-abc01

From:
<td $2800 nowrap>$0800</td>

To:

<td class=td8 $2800 nowrap><a href='javascript:open_window_ext("https://syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=$0800/index.html&client=uniwest&type=xw12");'><img src="https://syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=$0800/SC.GIF&client=uniwest&type=xw12" alt="Book cover" border=0></a></td>

In Summary, this change will take the ISBN data from www_tab_short.eng file to the $0800 placeholder in short-a-body-abc01 file. This will allow the queries to work based on ISBN of the ALEPH records.
