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.
