label and icon

It would be nice if on the opac there was a way to choose not to show the text labels next to item types. For libraries with clear types this text looks ugly and many have asked to have it removed.

This looks fine to me but it doesn't cover all item type image instances. Searching the templates for ".imageurl" shows several others.

[SIGNED OFF] Bug 7960: Add syspref to hide/show item type text labels in catalog

To test:
1) Apply patch and update database
2) Go to Admin -> Sysprefs -> Find system preference 'ItemTypeText'
3) Should have default value 'Show'. Change to 'Don't show'.
4) Make sure 'noItemTypeImages' is enabled.
5) Search for a record in catalog on staff client. Go to detail page.
6) Confirm the text label for the item type is hidden, but the item type
image still shows.
7) Search for a record in catalog on OPAC. Go to detail page.
8) Confirm the text label for the item type is hidden, but the item type
image still shows.
9) Go back to sysprefs and set 'ItemTypeText' to 'Show'.
10) Confirm text labels now show on detail pages.

Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2017-05-01 20:43:24 UTC 
Nice one to test!

2 notes:
- In order to see some of the changes you need to set item-level_itypes to 'biblio record'. 
- In the OPAC the 'most popular' page currently displays the biblio level itemtype description. A later patch could make it show the icon and add support for the system preferences.
Comment 7 Marcel de Rooy 2017-06-23 09:55:16 UTC 
Have the impression that we should not hide labels with a syspref but resolve this with custom css. Please convince me that I am wrong.

The syspref just provides the functionality for the library to hide or show the text, without having to play around with css or ask us to do it for them. I don't think it's fair to assume that librarians know how to write css.

We have to find a balance between adding a syspref for showing/hiding elements and css customization. Yes, not each librarian writes css. I will not block this patch and change the status to Signed off again. Another QA opinion please.

I must agree, my first thought was to ask why not just add a class to make it easy to hide with css.
Comment 11 Nick Clemens (kidclamp) 2017-10-26 11:04:03 UTC 
Agreeing with other QA here, moving to failed QA

+1

Not another system preference please :(

Actually you may use a trick by painting text with background color :
  #holdings_table .itype { color: #F3F3F3; }
Comment 13 Fridolin Somers 2018-03-06 10:44:37 UTC 
Or maybe one could change the existing preference noItemTypeImages to use choices : image and text, image only, text only.

Comment 21 David Nind 2020-02-13 04:07:04 UTC 
Hi Aleisha.

Everything looks okay to me except for the details page for records on the staff interface from search results.

I think this is this file about line 269:
koha/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/catalogue/detail.tt

Note for testing:
- Some icons only display for some pages if the item-level_itypes system preference is set to bibliographic record

Comment 23 David Nind 2022-07-16 01:37:42 UTC 
I've tested, but haven't signed off.

Notes from testing (using koha-testing-docker):

1. Some icons only display for some pages if the item-level_itypes system preference is set to bibliographic record.

2. May also need to set the noItemTypeImages (for staff interface) or OpacNoItemTypeImages system preferences to 'Show'.

3. For the staff interface and with the CSS to hide the text description:
   . catalogue/detail.tt: see note for staff interface and catalogue/detail.tt - can't hide text description for 'Itemtype' shown on the details page before the holdings tab

4. For the OPAC, I'm not sure how to test opac-results-grouped.tt: there is no opac-results-grouped.tt file, item type icon and text show for normal OPAC search results when OPACnoItemTypeImages system preference is set to 'Show', with OPAC CSS to hide no text description is shown in search results (but icon is).

5. How to access pages to test, along with some notes: 

= STAFF INTERFACE =
 - catalogue/advsearch.tt (Home page > Advanced search)
 - catalogue/detail.tt (view the details page for a record with items - note: 
   . if item-level_itypes = specific item and noItemTypeImages set to 'Don't show' ==> text only descriptions shown for both
   . if item-level_itypes = specific item and noItemTypeImages set to 'Show' ==> icons and text description shown for both
   . if item-level_itypes = bibliographic record and noItemTypeImages set to 'Show' ==> icons and text description only shown for the record, the Item types column under the holdings tab is not shown
    . if item-level_itypes = bibliographic record and noItemTypeImages set to 'Don't show' ==> text description only for the record,  the Item types column under the holdings tab is not shown
 - catalogue/results.tt (set noItemTypeImages system preference to 'Show', search in the staff interface)
 - reserve/request.tt (place a hold for a record, select a patron, item type column displayed for specific items) 
 - virtualshelves/shelves.tt (set noItemTypeImages to 'Show', set item-level_itypes to bibliographic record: create and add items to a public list, Lists > select the list)

= OPAC =
 - opac-advsearch.tt (advanced search page)
 - opac-detail.tt (view the details page for a record with items)
 - opac-readingrecord.tt (check out some items for a patron, go to Your account > your checkout history for that patron)
 - opac-reserve.tt (place a hold for a record, select 'a specific item', table lists the item type)
 - opac-results-grouped.tt (not sure how to test this on, no longer an opac-results-grouped.tt file; item type icon and text show on normal OPAC search results when OPACnoItemTypeImages system preference set to 'Show')
 - opac-shelves.tt (set OPACnoItemTypeImages to 'Show', set item-level_itypes to bibliographic record: add items to a list, view list More > Lists > select the list)
 - opac-user.tt (set OPACnoItemTypeImages to 'Show', set item-level_itypes to bibliographic record: check some items to a patron, go to Your account > summary for the patron)

6. Personally, I think enhancing the existing system preferences item-level_itypes, noItemTypeImages and OpacNoItemTypeImages would be a better way to go. But having some way to do it is better than no way...
