Re: [VuFind-Tech] Link resolver configuration

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

By default, VuFind only presents OpenURL links for records with ISSNs. Is it possible that some of your records do not have these values?

If you need to change the behavior, you can do so by adjusting the openURLActive() method of your record driver -- let me know if you need more details.

If links are missing for records that do have ISSNs, please let me know so I can investigate further... but I'm pretty sure the OpenURL feature has worked in all VuFind releases, so I don't expect to find a major bug there.
