See Also (see_also)

The current see_also field is limited to referring to other door resources, i.e., not to just any web resource.

Format

• code:text, where
• code is a door resource code and
• text may include html tags and may or may not include an anchor tag

The text may include two template placeholders:

• {VAR:link_url}
  • This becomes an express link, e.g., /express?link=zxle
• {VAR:dbsname}
  • This becomes the corresponding database name, e.g., Job and Career Accelerator

Examples

Below is the list of all current active resources that have a see_also field

cdc1 ... see_also "cdc1:<a href="{VAR:link_url}&url=2">CDC en Espa&ntilde;ol</a> "
encj-frl1 ... see_also "esco-frl1: See also Escolar Online "
oxdz-val1 ... see_also "oxdv-val1: Oxford Scholarship Online"
zbcn ... see_also "zbpc:<a href="{VAR:link_url}">see also<strong> Pre-CINAHL</strong></a>"
zbel ... see_also "zbpe:<a href="{VAR:link_url}">Versi&oacute;n en Espa&ntilde;ol</a>"
zbma ... see_also "zbue:<a href="{VAR:link_url}">Versi&oacute;n en Espa&ntilde;ol</a>"
zxca ... see_also "zxle:<a href="{VAR:link_url}">{VAR:dbsname}</a>"
zxle ... see_also "zxca:<a href="{VAR:link_url}">{VAR:dbsname}</a>"

Validation

On Resource save:

• The code should be an active resource.

If Resource is glri:

• The code should have an allocation for the institution saving the record (note the Resource is glri, the code isn't necessarily glri).

On Display:

• The see_also text should only display if the code has an allocation for the institution.

Because of these validation necessities, let's 86 the see_also idea. :-)
