Tony, We've seen that too. We're going to be looking at accessing the Syndetics added content by the "Syndetics Plus" method as part of an OPAC review project this summer. From the documentation I've seen, it looks like we will have more control over displaying which bits of added content get added where on the page and also be able to pull in some additional Syndetics content that currently does not display in Evergreen. I'm not sure how much additional control, if any, it will give over formatting the individual components, but hopefully it will give more control than it does now.

In particular a series of what looks like unordered lists and the content is sort of “glopped” in a centered paragraph on the page. Looking over the documentation here ( http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.4/_including_external_content_to_you_public_interface.html ), I’m seeing the back-end allocation of Syndetics resources, but no information on formatting options. Does anyone know if there is a way in the tpac to customize the output coming from the Syndetics service? I’ve got the guidelines from Syndetics, but that’s not really pertinent to Evergreen. Any leads or thoughts you might have on this will be most appreciated. For an example, you can try this link in our catalog: http://cool-cat.org/eg/opac/record/886996?query=Freakonomics;qtype=title;locg=1;expand=addedcontent;ac=excerpt#addedcontent I’m more than willing to hack away at the tt2 files if that would help….just looking to see if this is local to us or if anyone else has encountered this. Thanks for any thoughts….I was going to open a bug on this, but wanted to check first…. --Tony Tony Bandy [email protected] OHIONET 1500 West Lane Ave. Columbus, OH 43221-3975 614-486-2966 x19
