Hi Fred,
You say 858, do you mean 856? A URL generally goes into 856$u. More
info here: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/concise/bd856.html
I hope this helps,

Hello, all,
I'm using Koha 3.20.05 on Ubuntu 14.04.
I'm trying to add a new MARC field that's a URL. I've created field 858 in the MARC
framework, then added subfields a and b. Under Advanced Constraints in subfield b I
checked the box "Is a URL." The description says:
Subfield, Text, Constraints
a, ORCID, Tab:8, Repeatable, Not mandatory
b, ORCID link, Tab:8, Repeatable, Not mandatory, is a URL
Under Cataloging preferences, the URLLinkText is blank.
The coding for the field in the detail xsl file is this:
<xsl:if test="marc:datafield[@tag=858]">
<span class="results_summary authors">
<span class="label">ORCID: </span>
<xsl:for-each select="marc:datafield[@tag=858]">
<xsl:call-template name="subfieldSelect">
<xsl:with-param
name="codes">ab</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
<!-- added to put semi-colon and space between
entries -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position()=last()">
<xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>; </xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</span>
</xsl:if>
The problem is that when I search for a record containing this field, the text for the b
subfield appears, but it isn't a URL-I can see it, but I can't click on it. I tried
putting the b subfield in "http://a.web.link.us"; format; I didn't think it
would work, and it doesn't.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? I couldn't find an answer in the
manual or online.
