OPAC: Redirect Classic WebVoyage Persistent Links to Tomcat WebVoyage

[This article was copied from the Voyager Wiki.]

The following will redirect Classic WebVoyage BBID links to the Tomcat WebVoyage equivalent.

1. If you don't already have it, create a top-level cgi-bin directory. In our setup, we added it at

/m1/voyager/xxxdb/tomcat/vwebv/context/vwebv/cgi-bin

You may also have to add this to in your apache configuration files. For example,

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /m1/voyager/xxxdb/tomcat/vwebv/context/vwebv/cgi-bin/

2. Create a file called Pwebrecon.cgi in the cgi-bin directory. In the file, put the following (replacing servername with your opac server name)

#!/m1/shared/bin/perl
my $bibId;
@pairs = split(/&/, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'});
foreach $pair (@pairs) {   
   ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);   
   if ( $name =~ 'BBID' ) {       
      $bibId=$value;   
   }
}
 
if ( $bibId ) {   
   print "Location: http://servername/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=$bibId \n\n";
}
else {   
   print "Location: http://servername \n\n";
}
