Media Management Options

This page describes the Web options for the Media Management options group. Review these options to determine any necessary setup that your organization might need to perform.

BUT_RET2CRS

This option specifies the image to use for the Return to Course graphic button. For example:

BUT_RET2CRS=/screens/ret2crs.gif

ENABLE_DIRECT_ARTICLE_LINK

If this option is set to a true value (any word starting with t,T,y,Y, or the number 1), the WebPAC displays Media Sets using a persistent URL which any user can use in the future. Choose this setting if you do not use the Copyright and Access product to require patron authentication for access to Media Management files.

If this option is set to a false value (any word starting with f, F, n, N, or the number 0), or is not defined, the WebPAC generates a temporary URL for Media Sets which can be used only in the user’s current WebPAC session. Choose this setting if you use the Copyright and Access product to require patron authentication for access to Media Management files.

ERESERVE

This option specifies the IP addresses of client browsers that are allowed to access Media Management. For example:

ERESERVE=111.111.111.111

In this example, only logins from the specific IP address 111.111.111.111 will be allowed to access Media Management. A group of IP addresses may be specified by omitting one or more of the octets in this option's value. For example:

ERESERVE=111.111.111.

Here, all clients whose IP address begins with 111.111.111 will be allowed access (e.g., 111.111.111.1, 111.111.111.2, 111.111.111.3, etc.). Note that the trailing period is required in this case.

If logins from any IP are allowed to access Media Management, the ERESERVE setting is:

ERESERVE=[0123456789]

Multiple IP addresses and address groups may be entered, separating each by a vertical bar. For example:

ERESERVE=111.111.111.|222.222.|33.33.33.

ERESERVE_IP

This option is for use only at sites that use a firewall device that changes the addresses of incoming connections from an "external" address to an "internal" one. This can prevent the WebPAC from loading the JAVA applet that is used to view Media Management items.

The ERESERVE_IP option specifies the IP address of this firewall device. For example:

ERESERVE_IP=140.189.69.244

This option also accepts DNS entries. For example:

ERESERVE_IP=catalog.lib.edu

This allows users outside of the firewall to load the applet and view scanned images.

ERESERVE_PRINT_MESSAGE

This option specifies the message that displays on the Web screen when a selected article has been printed. For example:

ERESERVE_PRINT_MESSAGE=Article has been sent to the system printer

ICON_BUT_RET2CRS[scope][_lang]

This option defines the Return to Course link. This option accepts an HTML value that defines the text or an image to use as the link. For example:

ICON_BUT_RET2CRS=<strong>Return to Course</strong>

For a graphic link example:

ICON_BUT_RET2CRS=<img src="/screens/ret2crs.gif" alt="Unscope" border="0" />

If this option is not defined, the system uses the value of the BUT_RET2CRS Web option. If neither option is set, the system uses the following default:

ICON_BUT_RET2CRS=Return to Course

This option can vary by scope and language.

IMAGE_SAVE

This option controls the save function of the image viewer applet. By default, the image viewer applet save function is on. To disable the save function, set this option to "false". For example:

IMAGE_SAVE=false
