Cookies

When Folio is opened in a new browser for the first time by a user, the cookie message will be displayed:

This site uses cookies. By continuing to use the site, you are agreeing to XXXX's placement of cookies on your device. Find out more here.

The link will open the default Folio cookie message in a new browser window:

If you have an organisation specific cookie message then you should copy that into the WebView/html directory on the web server and you can then configure the cookie_reminder_text message in gno_startup to link to your own cookies information.

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for cookie_reminder_text.
3. Open the record in modify and in Value edit any text and insert the link to your own organisation's page:

Application title

If you want to change the title of the application (OLIB Folio) to represent your OPAC then modify the applicationTitle setting in gno_startup:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for applicationTitle.
3. Open the record in modify and in Value enter your preferred title:

Once you have reloaded Folio the application title will have changed.

Login option

Folio takes the same login options as you had set up in WebView. The configuration options are held in the config block login. To view these:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Choose the search Configuration Settings by Config Block.
3. Search for Config Block login.

Here are some sample settings in login:

For example, you switch off self-registration by setting the self_registration setting to false.

 Tip: if you wish to keep the same options for user login as you had for WebView then there is no need to change the login settings.

Once you have logged in the welcome message is overlaid on the banner graphic.

Footer

The footer is controlled by the footerDisplayText in gno_startup.

e.g:

Powered by OLIB, © OCLC (UK) Ltd 2013-2019 Privacy Policy

To change the footer (for example to add your own organisation’s name to the copyright statement) then modify this setting as required:

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for footerDisplayText.
3. Open the record in modify and in Value enter your preferred text and links:

Various options for the Privacy Policy are also available.

Breadcrumb trail

It is configurable whether the breadcrumb trail is displayed either:

• in the top left corner of the Folio screen, immediately below the menu bar
• in the bottom right corner of the browser window

The setting display_breadcrumb in gno_startup specifies where the breadcrumb trail is displayed.

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for display_breadcrumb. If it does not exist, click New Record:

3. In Config Block select gno_startup from the drop down.
4. In Value enter "TL" to display in top left of Folio page or "BR" to display in bottom right.
5. Set Include = Yes.

If display_breadcrumb is not included in gno startup, the breadcrumb trail is not displayed.

Language

If your OPAC is to be available in more than one language then you will need to visit 2 settings in gno_startup:

• showAltInterfaceMenu: this controls whether the alternative language interface menu is displayed in Folio
• possLanguages: this controls which languages are included

1. Go to OPAC> Configuration Settings.
2. Search for the setting.
3. Open the record in modify:

• for showAltInterfaceMenu set Value to true and Include? to Yes
• for possLanguages enter the languages in Value using double quotes (currently "en nl" for English / Dutch); set Include? Yes

4. Save the changes.

Other languages can also be translated for inclusion in the possLanguages setting.
