  1. Addons to use Chrome, Firefox, or other browsers

    Currently, the Ares addons default to emulating IE 7. A registry key was added in version 4.4 to default it to now emulate IE 8 if it is installed on the workstation. Otherwise it will emulate IE 7.

    There is currently no way to get the addons to use Chrome, Firefox, or other browsers.

    IE is an obsolete browser and many websites don't work optimally in that browser. It would be best to be able to open links from the addons into the user's default browser.

  2. alma barcode lookup addon

    Add both ShelfLocation and PubDate to the Ares Alma Barcode Lookup addon by default. Right now these can be added by adding this code to the DataMapping.lua file:

    --start snip here
    table.insert(DataMapping.FieldMapping["Ares"], {
    MappingName = "Location",
    ImportField = "Item.ShelfLocation",
    ObjectType = "item",
    ObjectMapping = "location"
    });

    table.insert(DataMapping.FieldMapping["Ares"], {
    MappingName = "PubDate",
    ImportField = "Item.PubDate",
    ObjectType = "item",
    ObjectMapping = "dateofpublication"
    });
    -- end snip here

    and then adding ",Location,PubDate" to the end of the list of fields in the Fields to Import setting in Manage Addons.
