Command links tell the WebPAC to perform a certain function, such as searching on a specific index or changing the scope of a search. The most commonly used Command Link is the search link. Other command links will invoke Custom Forms such as My Record, Help, or Suggest a Purchase.
For example, the Command Link */search/a* tells the WebPAC to search for a specific index, in this case the author index. The Command Link */patroninfo* will bring up the html page where patrons will fill out a form to login to their library record.
If no Command Link is added after the '*/*' the WebPAC will bring you the Main Menu page. There are command links for all the searchable indexes in your library; for example: */x* is used for keyword searching, */a* is used for author searching, and */t* for title.
The screen bellow illustrates an example of the Command Link for author /a:
Below are some examples of how the HTML looks for some command links that search the author, title, and subject indexes and that are supported in the mainmenu.html and opacmenu.html pages:
<a href="/search/a ">Author</a>
<a href="/search/t ">Title</a>
<a href="/search/d ">Subject</a>
Below are examples of other command links used in WebPAC Pro, labels can be customized:
<a href="/acquire">Suggest a purchase</a> The /acquire Command Link will retrieve a form that a patron fills with his/her recommendation for purchasing library materials.
<a href="/suggest">Comments</a> The /suggest Command Link will retrieve a form that patrons can use to enter comments or suggestions for your library.
<a href="/screens/feeds_example.html">Feeds</a> The /feeds Command Link will link to a feeds file that you can create for your library. Please note, that this /feeds Command Link does not access files in the http/live/feeds directory.
A complete list of command links is available in a table form in the Innovative Reference & Guide, Page # 106855: command link.
