III Innovative Millenium software: change “holdings” text

In my library we use Innovative Millennium integrated library system.

If you are used to Millenium you’ll know this system uses a kinda-weird way to generate HTML output pages.

My boss told me to change a text which is displayed in some pages (refer to this link for further details).

Here is the *spanish-version* of the HTML output to be modified:
innovative millenium holdings text

Easy, I thought. Well, I was wrong. It took me a while to figure out how to solve this.

The text to be changed is the “Latest received” information displayed in a record page. This page is produced by bibdisplay.html file. More precisely, with the tag which is included in bibdisplay.html. (Note: in my case, the spanish output is produced by bibdisplay_spi.html. SPI means “spanish scope” or something like that).

I downloaded all of the /screens folder to my linux system and grep’d for the Latest received text to change (in spanish: Últimos recibidos). No luck. Then I downloaded the wwwoptions file (this text-messages are usually saved in this file). Still no luck.

After some more research I noticed a webpub_spi.def which contains that string. There is also a webpub.def with the english messages!)
So I just modified it (

vi webpub_spi.def

) and saved it again.

Voilá, it works!
