Description Jane Wagner 2011-02-04 13:15:41 UTC
In earlier versions, the cart display had a column for item type, which was reading the 942c instead of the item's item type.  Current head has removed the item type column altogether, but one of my libraries would like to show item type.  However, obviously, the item type should be the proper one, not the 942c.  Since there is a column for call number, which is already looping through each item to display each call number, would there be any objection to adding item type into that column?

I don't know how you would add itemtype to the cart's brief display and not have it be too much information, but the "more details" view could incorporate it easily.

Is this something people would want?

Hi Owen, I quite like it and it would solve some reappearing requests of adding more information there. Maybe it should be configurable? In consortia there might be too many items on records to make this work nicely, but for smaller libraries it would probably work well. Or we could show x items by default with a link to show all.
