TIPS • Make a backup copy of the file before editing. • Use vi Editor directly on the server or use FTP software to transfer the file locally and edit in Notepad. • Never edit with Word, WordPerfect, etc. You must use Notepad or it will add hidden characters.
It’s important to select the correct transfer mode in your FTP software: • Use ASCII mode for text files --- files ending with a .cfg, .ini., .htm., .txt., etc. • Use Binary mode for image files --- files ending with .gif, .jpg, etc.
Increase the Timeout • The default is 3 minutes. Ex Libris suggests no longer than 10 minutes in order to avoid excessive connections to the server. • The time indicated in the stanza is in seconds.
Increase the Timeout (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/webvoyage/cgi-bin • Filename: webvoyage.ini • Change the [WebRecon] stanza timeout to 600. • [WebRecon] • TempFileLocation=/tmp • TempFileName=webrecon • Timeout=600
Move the Search Tips to the Bottom of the Page (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/webvoyage/cgi-bin • Filename: webvoyage.ini • Change the [HelpLocation] stanza position to “B”. • [HelpLocation] • Position=B
Replace the Top Banner (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/webvoyage/html/images • Filename: banner.gif • Replace the existing banner.gif file with a custom file.
Replace the Bottom Banner (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/webvoyage/html/images • Filename: footer.gif • Replace the existing footer.gif file with a custom file.
Add or Remove Buttons in the Top Toolbar (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/etc/webvoyage/local • Filename: opac.ini • Modify the [Toolbar_Top] stanza. • The total count of buttons should be at the top. This should match your actual number of buttons. • [Toolbar_Top] • Count=14 • Add or remove individual “button stanzas” as needed.
Add or Remove Buttons in the Bottom Toolbar (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/etc/webvoyage/local • Filename: opac.ini • Modify the [Toolbar_Bottom] stanza. • The total count of “buttons” should be at the top. This should match your actual number of “buttons”. • [Toolbar_Bottom] • Count=14 • Add or remove individual “button stanzas” as needed.
Add or Remove Buttons in the Bottom Toolbar (cont’d) • Note that the “+” forces the button to appear as text. • Example: • Btn02Text=Search • +Btn02GraphicUp=UpSearch.gif • +Btn02GraphicDown=DownSearch.gif • +Btn02GraphicDisabled=DisabledSearch.gif • Btn02Function=SEARCH • Btn02Link=
Remove “There are no attachments” Message • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/etc/webvoyage/local • Filename: noattmsg.htm • Rename the “noattmsg.htm” file to “noattmsg.htm.bak”.
Remove the Extra “Database” Listing (cont’d) • Location: /m1/voyager/xxxdb/etc/webvoyage/local • Filename: display1.cfg, display2.cfg, and displayh.cfg. • Remove the following from the file(s). • Database: +No information available • 5000 • Database: +No information available • 1002
