Our Special Collections department would like to have the 
Content Field (from the locationindex table) displayed when a 
public patron does a search.  Can you give me some guidance in 
accomplishing this?

Thanks

Don,

However, it should be farily easy to show the locations in the 
public output.

In the file controlcard.inc.php for the template set you are 
using, you'll need to edit the php and html so that the file does 
something with the location information when the user in not 
authenticated.  Basically, you need to reference a few variables.

To do this on our website, we put the "else" piece of code that 
I've pased after my signature line into the file AFTER the "if" 
that shows locations for logged-in users.

(You can see we do some testing on the LocationID numbers to 
display different service locations or messages depending on 
where the boxes are stored.  You may not need to do that--if so, 
just delete those sections--but if you do, you can edit the 
statments to test on the values contained in tblCol_Locations.)
