OPAC: WebVoyáge Timeout Counter Display
[This article was copied from the Voyager Wiki.]
A script which runs a countdown timer for Webvoyage OPAC displaying session time remaining on the bottom of the browser screen. Document OPAC timeoutcounterUniSA200703.doc contains javascript script and html call to function "timer", which counts from 6 minutes down.
University of South Australia Library catalogue, http://catalogue.library.unisa.edu.au has a timeout counter display. The script is appended below. The catalogue.js script needs to be placed in the ...\xxxdb\webvoyage\html directory.
You will need to add the following lines to the header.htm file (in the ...\xxxdb\etc\webvoyage directory) to call the script when WebVoyáge starts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/catalogue.js"></script>
<script>timer();</script>

You will need to add the following two lines to the header.htm file (in the ...\xxxdb\etc\webvoyage directory) to call the script when WebVoyage starts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/catalogue.js"></script>
<script>timer();</script>
for example
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/global.css" type="text/css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/catalogue.js"></script>
<script>timer();</script>
</head>
You may wish to add them into other header type pages – for example we have a loginhdr.html

The script catalogue.js is put in ...\xxxdb\webvoyage\html directory
<!--
