I got it to search just the "Local Library System" in your catalog by
changing the following hidden form input (you don't need to edit the url).
from
<input type="hidden" id="l" name="l" value="2" />
to
<input type="hidden" id="l" name="l" value="102" />
Cheers

Yay!

Our problem is that we don't know how to 'point' the OPAC so that it
starts searching at our library (2nd level) instead of the regional
library (top level).

If I pick Beauregard Parish Library, I see 'Now searching Beauregard
Parish Library' which is where I want our patrons to start, but the URL
is still this:
http://evergreen.library.beau.org/opac/en-US/skin/craftsman/xml/index.xml
Once you've picked your library, run a search. The URL will change to
something like
http://evergreen.library.beau.org/opac/en-US/skin/lul/xml/rresult.xml?rt=keyword&tp=keyword&t=jazz&l=103&d=2&f=
The key GET param you're interested in is the "l" parameter - which
stands for "library". This specifies the ID of the library found in the
actor.org_unit table to which you want to scope your search. However,
you can see that value in the URL so you don't need to look in the
database for this one.
Assuming that the value in your case is "l=102", you can provide links
to
http://evergreen.library.beau.org/opac/en-US/skin/craftsman/xml/index.xml?l=102
to start patrons at the right search scope. In our case, we redirect
patrons from various subdomains (like "laurentian.concat.ca" and
"windsor.concat.ca") to the full URL including the "l" parameter
appropriate for the scope of each library.
Hopefully this helps.
Hi
I'm trying to get the embedded search box on our corporate website to work in
the same way but I can't figure out how to edit the url to get it to work. I
want the search scope to deafult to l=102 but I'm not having any successs in
editing the url in this script
<form action="http://prd1.sedar.org.uk/opac/en-GB/skin/stirling/xml/rresult.xml";
method="get">
<div>
Quick Catalogue Search:<br />
<input type="text" alt="Input Box for Catalog Search" maxlength="250"
size="20" id="t" name="t" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="rt" name="rt" value="keyword" />
<input type="hidden" id="tp" name="tp" value="keyword" />
<input type="hidden" id="l" name="l" value="2" />
<input type="hidden" id="d" name="d" value="" />
<input type="hidden" id="f" name="f" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="form-submit" />
</div>
</form>
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
