Extend record actions with our custom MARC download service

Closed this issue · 4 comments

We have added a link to a custom MARC Download Service to our PrimoVE to our Links section on the full record display. If you browse to https://catalog.nlm.nih.gov/permalink/01NLM_INST/1o1phhn/alma9915909883406676 and then scroll down to links you will see this HTML:

View and download the MARC Record

We now have survey results requesting that we move the MARC Download higher (into the "Record Actions" section).

I am wondering whether there is any way to repurpose a record action we are not using, such as "Excel" to do this, and also whether there is an (unsupported) way to essentially subclass prmActionList and prmActionContainer.

Thanks for any and all suggestions. We are also considering whether we could simply move up the Links section or something like that.

Hi @danizen,

I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're looking for, but several institutions use this plugin from the Orbis Cascade Alliance to add custom actions to Primo: https://github.com/alliance-pcsg/primo-explore-custom-actions.

We are also considering whether we could simply move up the Links section or something like that.

There are two ways to do this:

Alma -> Discovery -> Configure views -> [pick your view] -> edit [behind the ...]
-> Full record services -> here you can change the position with the up and down arrows

If you want to show the links above the 'Send to' actions, you can do so via CSS ***

Let me know if you're interested in details.

This is working out for us so far. Thanks.
