Customize your OPAC

presented by Owen Leonard

Owen works at Nelsonville Public Library and says that he wouldn't do it again. Although you can customize the templates very easily, it is a huge pain to have to maintain the templates.

Changing the stylesheet is the best way to customize the OPAC because it doesn't need to be maintained each time you upgrade.

Owen recommends a site called Listomatic, it gives you css and html code for many different types of menus that exist.

opaccolorcss = file name of customize css file
opacusercss = embedded in-line instead of a separate file

Tools that Owen recommends for Web Development:
  • Firebug - Firefox extension (must have)
  • Jquery - javascript language
