Oops, also, there would appear to be some settings that need to be configured
in the opensrf.xml configuration file for your EG system.
There's a section that'll look something like this:
<app_settings>
<marctemplates>
<K_book>/openils/var/templates/marc/k_book.xml</K_book>
</marctemplates>
</app_settings>
I think you have to edit it to include the new templates you create in that
directory as well.
Hope it helps, maybe an EG developer might have more insights for you.
