OPAC: Remove Limits from Advanced Search
[This article was copied from the Voyager Wiki.]
Introduction
This relates to the "New" Tomcat WebVoyage that is included in Voyager 7.0.1 and forward.
We have several special collections databases that contain only bibliographic records – there is no circulation function related to these databases, and no patron data. Thus we wanted to remove several default aspects of the new user interface, including removing the limits that appear on the Advanced search page. You can also, very easily, use this method to comment out individual limits and prevent them from displaying in the limit listing.
Remove Search Limits from Advanced Search Page
To remove the limits from the Advanced search page, comment out or delete the appropriate buildSearchForm sections in the cl_searchAdvanced.xsl file found at: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/tomcat/vwebv/context/vwebv/ui/your_SKIN/xsl/contentLayout
Code Example
Change this code:

Removing Specific Limits from the Limits Listing
To remove specific limits from any of the limit categories, you need to edit the:
|
/m1/voyager/xxxdb/tomcat/vwebv/context/vwebv/ui/SKIN/xsl/userTextConfigs/limits.xml |
file and comment out those limits you want to exclude from the display using the
|
<!-- |
and
|
--> |
convention for commenting code. For example:
|
<limitGroup type="medium" label="Format:"> <limit code="all" default="Y">All Formats</limit> <limit code="c">Computer File</limit> <limit code="k">Photos, Drawings, etc</limit> <limit code="g">Slides</limit> <limit code="s">Sound Recording</limit> <limit code="v">Videorecording</limit> <limit code="h">Microform</limit> <limit code="m">Motion Picture</limit> <limit code="t">Text (Eye-Readable)</limit> <!-- <limit code="d">Globe</limit> <limit code="a">Map</limit> --> </limitGroup> |
Remember to comment your changes.
