Sirsi Admin

customizations

To change the library logo

  1. save image to two locations : /s/sirsi/Unicorn/Webcat/Images_custom/English/Other/MiscD and /var/www/html/WebCat_Images/English/Other/MiscD
  2. edit environmental file here: /s/sirsi/Unicorn/Webcat/Config (live: system.env or test: envn14.env)
    1. LIBLOGO|LIBLOGO2|  where LIBLOGO2 is the name of the gif of the logo

To change background color of search box only

  1. edit environmental file here: /s/sirsi/Unicorn/Webcat/Config (live: system.env or test: envn14.env)
    1. FORM_BGCOLOR|#FFFFFF| 

Rounded borders

in sirsidynix.css this is commented out :   /* CSS Content Borders
  border:4px solid #979797;
  -moz-border-radius:10px;
  -webkit-border-radius:10px;
  border-radius:10px;
  */

I think that will give us the rounded borders we would like.

Useful info

Notes on what I found out playing around:

  1. the envn14.env should be a mostly clean version of what we want system.env to look like, I compared it with the delivered ilink.env file. This is where we change the functionality/labeling/search lists  - hardly any aestheics go in here besides those mentioned aboive.
  2. I renamed/played around a bit with custom.css for the test environment -- it is not custom_old.css. We can rename it back or create a fresh version
  3. to see changes to css update the custom.css first to webserver, then to sirsi server eventually
  4. you can most info from sirsidynix.css and webapp.css and copy/paste/edit in custom.css
  5. I think we need a new logo to go in title bar- something clean and simple
  6. The elibrary admin training guide is useful
