I have a slightly different hyperlink issue than Lotus Ong; my preference
would be to have the title hyperlink to the "full record" rather than to
the URL of the actual resource. I can't tell you how many exasperated sighs
I have heard when people expect to see more information (i.e., the "full
record") rather than, for example, Acrobat Reader starting to open...
I did try to delink the hyperlink from the title using the instructions
posted by Barry and Edward, but without success -- what files other than
SPT--FullRecord.php might have cues? I have to admit I did not delete the
the lines, just commented them out...
The second issue has to do with concept/fuzzy search. Has anyone come up
with a creative solution to provide contextual terminology in a record so
that related concepts, misspelled words, differently-spelled plurals, or
other not-really-keywords can be used to search in resources? Admittedly,
you would need to know your audience/profession using the toolkit really
well, but I'm interested to know if any larger implementations of the
toolkit are trying something.
TIA -- Kate C.
