Question

How do I add "My Account" and/or "Contact Us" to the letter footer?

Answer

Perform the following steps:

1. From the Alma menu under General configuration > Configuration Menu > General Configuration select "Customize Letters"

2. Locate letter to edit and click "Customize" (or Actions > Edit)

3. Scroll to the bottom of the xsl

4. Insert a line by placing the cursor at the end of line with the text of:

<xsl:call-template name="lastFooter" />

5. To add "My Account" insert the following text: 

<xsl:call-template name="myAccount" />

6. To add "Contact Us" insert the following text: 

<xsl:call-template name="contactUs" />

7. Click on the Save button

8. Test the letter to verify that the footer appears as desired.

End result: xsl for "My Account" and "Contact us" will appear between the xml code of <xsl:call-template name="contactUs" /> and </body>

Snippet to add:

<xsl:call-template name="myAccount" />
 <xsl:call-template name="contactUs" />

Resulting footer section:

 
       <!-- footer.xsl -->
        <xsl:call-template name="lastFooter" />
<xsl:call-template name="myAccount" />
 <xsl:call-template name="contactUs" />
      </body>
