    Question

    How to Configure a CSS Skin for the Services Page in Primo?

    Answer

     

    This requires access to both Alma and the Primo back office.

    In Alma:

    1. Go to Alma > Administration > General Configuration > General Configuration Menu > Delivery System Skins
    2. Select Add a Skin
    3. Name the Skin
    4. Download and unzip skin.zip
    5. Go to branding_skin/css/mashup.css; this controls the display elements in the ViewIt and GetIt tabs in Primo
    6. Open mashup.css in preferred editing tool (e.g. Notepad or Notepad ++) and make desired edits
    8. Re-zip the file.
    NOTE: The file must be named "skin.zip"
    9. Upload and save the skin.zip to the previously named skin profile.

    In the Primo Back Office:
    1. Go to Advanced Configuration > Mapping Tables > Subsystem: Delivery > Table Name: Templates
    2. Update the following Alma delivery templates by adding "&req.skin=<skin name>" to the end of the string:

    Almagetit
    Almagetit_remote
    Almagetit_services
    Almaviewit_services

    For example:

    Code: Almagetit
    Template Code:

    
    {{alma_base}}?ctx_enc=info:ofi/enc:UTF-8&ctx_id=10_1&ctx_tim={{timestamp}}&ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&url_ctx_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&url_ver=Z39.88-2004&rfr_id=info:sid/primo.exlibrisgroup.com-{{control/sourceid}}&req_id={{pds_handle}}&rft_dat=almaid}},language={{language}},view={{view}}&svc_dat=getit&user_ip={{userIp}}&req.skin=NEW_SKIN
    

     

    3. Save and Deploy
    4. Refresh browser and clear cache to test.

    Additional Information

    The same skin that is configured for the Alma-Primo mashup can be used for the Services Page, or a separate skin can be defined.
    If using the same skin, it is not necessary to define a new one in Alma.
