    Question

    What is syntax for the “.limit” variable for quick limits in webvoyage.properties?

    Answer

    The variable uses a “[limit type]=[value]” syntax.

    This example is a location limit (LOCA=) for the location limit group Main:

    page.search.limitTo.mainLocation.limit=LOCA=Main

    Additional Information

    Quick limit types
    LANG Language
    MEDI Medium (or Format)
    PLAC Place
    STAT Status
    TYPE Item Type
    DATE Date
    LOCA Location

    Values

    Values for LANG, MEDI, PLAC, STAT, and TYPE are listed in the limits.xml file in ..[skin]/xsl/userTextConfigs/limits.xml (Note that “MEDI” is called “Format” in limits.xml.)

    Location limits (LOCA) are configured in the System Administration module under System > Location Limit Groups. Use the value in "Name" field in webvoyage.properties for any groups that do not have "Suppress in OPAC" box checked.

    DATE uses year(s).

    Examples:
    page.search.limitTo.1990to2000.limit=Date=1990-2000 (between 1990 and 2000)
    page.search.limitTo.before1990.limit=Date=-1990 (before 1990)
    page.search.limitTo.after1990.limit=Date=1990- (after 1990)
