Using the SFX button to point back to a Voyager holding record

• Article Type: General

Description:
We would like to use our SFX button differently that its intended purpose.
We want it to point back to a Voyager holding record (we are synchronizing DTL with Voyager).
Please let us know if this is possible; and if so, how.

Resolution:
You can have the link as metadata.

Below is a summary of the changes you'll need to make in order to enable the SFX button to point to your Voyager holdings:

1. In $dtle_root/www_r_eng/results-full-body

<!-- START_SECTION --><!-- body-fields-link -->
<TR>
<TD CLASS="LabelBlueBold" nowrap valign="top">$0100</TD>
<TD><script type="text/javascript">
var txt = '$0200';
document.write('http://hdl.handle.net/' + txt.replace(/^\s\s*/, ''));
</script></TD>
</TR>

2. In $dtle_root/www_r_eng/js/scripts.js (add the following function)

function open_window_uri_handle (loc)
{
var w = window.open ('http://hdl.handle.net/' + loc.replace(/^\s\s*/, ''),
"winduri",
"height=600,width=700,location=no,menubar=no,status,scrollbars,resizable"
);
w.focus();
}

Other customers took the above code and refined it further.
