Description paxed 2014-02-24 06:37:18 UTC
It should be possible to hide shelving locations from the OPAC advanced search. 

For example, we have some shelving locations for material that is not available to patrons, and the patrons have no need to see those locations listed in the advanced search.

paxed, would opachiddenitems work here for you? It also hides the items, but this might be more than you need?
Comment 2 Koha collecto 2026-02-02 20:11:07 UTC
I'll +1 this very old bz to say that this would still be nice

And to answer Katrin's question, no, OpacHiddenItems wouldn't work as we would still like to be able to see the items in the OPAC but simply hide the location from the advanced search form. :)

Isn't this just controlled by the syspref AdvancedSearchTypes?

Ah wait that might just be for the staff interface... I guess it's actually OpacAdvancedSearchTypes
