primo-explore-report-problem

Features

A banner with a link to report a problem/bug appears below the "send to" actions in the details view. The text of the banner is configurable, and clicking the button will redirect to an external URL and pass the parameters of the current search to that URL. This can be used to auto-fill an external "report problem" form.

Screenshot

Install

1. Make sure you've installed and configured primo-explore-devenv.
2. Navigate to your template/central package root directory. For example:

   cd primo-explore/custom/MY_VIEW_ID
   

3. If you do not already have a package.json file in this directory, create one:

   npm init -y
   

4. Install this package:

   npm install primo-explore-report-problem
   

alternatively, just copy dist/module.js into your package's custom.js file.

Usage

Once this package is installed, add reportProblem as a dependency for your custom module definition.

var app = angular.module('viewCustom', ['reportProblem'])

Then, enable the customization by embedding it in the prmActionListAfter hook:

app.component('prmActionListAfter', {template: '<oca-report-problem />'})

Configuration

You can configure the banner by passing in attributes to the oca-report-problem element. The report-url property is required; the others will default to the values shown in the screenshot.

name	type	usage
message-text	string	banner text displayed next to the button.
button-text	string	text displayed on the button itself.
report-url	string (url)	base URL for your 'report a problem' page, to which all of the search parameters will be sent

The line below would add a banner with different button and message texts.

app.component('prmActionListAfter', {template: '<oca-report-problem report-url="http://my.library.edu/reportproblem.php?" message-text="Want to report a problem?" button-text="Submit report" />'})

When the button is clicked, if the user was viewing a page like: https://primo.lclark.edu/primo-explore/fulldisplay?docid=CP71139633100001451&context=L&vid=......

They would be sent to: http://my.library.edu/reportproblem.php?docid=CP71139633100001451&context=L&vid=.....

All of the URL parameters could then be handled by a server-side script.
