Description Katrin Fischer 2020-08-05 15:34:24 UTC
When you have OpenLibraryCovers turned on, there will be a "Preview" link showing  below the cover that leads to the Open Library page of the title. I think we should make clear in the wording that the link is an external link that will lead you outside the library catalog and it should also open in a new tab.

To test:
- Activate OpenLibraryCovers
- Search (in sample data) for: 0140423826

Bug 26148: OpenLibrary "Preview" link target is unclear to patrons

This patch makes changes to the display of the Open Library "read" links
in the OPAC search results and detail page. The link is now grouped with
other details about the record ("Publisher," "Location(s)," etc. On the
detail page, the "Preview" link will no longer appear under the cover
image.

The label is changed to "Found in Open Library," and the link now opens
the Open Library reader in a new window.

The patch also changes the Open Library button image links so that they
use https and makes it so that the "Found in Open Library" information
is hidden until the availability information has loaded.

To test, apply the patch and enable the OpenLibrarySearch system
preference.

 - Perform a search in the OPAC which will return results found in Open
   Library, e.g. "poetry" in the sample data.
 - Confirm that the "Read now" images from Open Library appear on some
   search results.
 - View the detail page for one of these titles.
 - Confirm that the "Read now" button appears in the same format on the
   detail page.
