[Stephanie Levesen]

Thanks Shellie!  I have it on my list to look at for today (or sometime this week).

I will make sure to put the updated code in.

Stephanie,

I just noticed that the code I sent last week contains an error.  It should have </xsl:if> at the end.  So should look like this:


<xsl:if  test="notification_data/request/selected_inventory_type='ITEM'" >
     <tr>
           <td><b>@@item_barcode@@: </b><img src="cid:item_id_barcode.png" alt="Item Barcode"/></td>
     </tr>
</xsl:if>

TO this:

<xsl:if  test="notification_data/request/selected_inventory_type='ITEM'" >
     <tr>
           <td><b>@@item_barcode@@: </b><xsl:value-of select="notification_data/phys_item_display/barcode"/></td>
     </tr>
</xsl:if>

Hi Shellie,

Thanks so much!  I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.  If not, I'll definitely call on your help with this!

Hi Stephanie,

Here is the short answer.

Find the relevant bit of code (shown below) in the default version of the notice and insert it into the custom version. To get actual barcode digits (instead of the scannable barcode image)

CHANGE the bit of default code from:

<xsl:if  test="notification_data/request/selected_inventory_type='ITEM'" >
     <tr>
           <td><b>@@item_barcode@@: </b><img src="cid:item_id_barcode.png" alt="Item Barcode"/></td>
     </tr>

TO this:

<xsl:if  test="notification_data/request/selected_inventory_type='ITEM'" >
     <tr>
           <td><b>@@item_barcode@@: </b><xsl:value-of select="notification_data/phys_item_display/barcode"/></td>
     </tr>


I'll give a little talk at next week's meeting about the details, like where I looked to find the value to use in the xsl:value-of select setting.

I can give you additional hands-on, one-on-one help if you want/need it.  Let me know.

Hi Stephanie,

I'm sure we can do this without too much trouble.  Let me investigate a bit and report back with the particulars.

Hi,

During implementation, we removed the barcode image from our letters in Alma since we didn't want to waste a lot of ink in printing barcodes.

However, since we've been using Alma, it has come up a few times where having the barcode on the resource request slip would have been useful in pulling items for holds.

I've been looking in the documentation, and in "Configuring Alma Letters" document, in the table that lists the letter types, for the information about the letter "ful resource request slip letter" it says that you can include a printable barcode image on this letter.

However, we don't want the barcode image, we just want the barcode numbers to show up as a field.

Using the XML, how would you customize it to include the barcode number on the resource request slip rather than the barcode image?  Is this even possible, or is the only option to put in the barcode image?

If you can only have the barcode image, is it possible to create a smaller version of the barcode image rather than a large image?

Thanks for your help with this.

Stephanie
