Web Client: Org Unit printing on Spine and Pocket labels

[Lynn Floyd]

I was testing on on Webby, and discovered that the Spine and Pocket labels only printed the org unit ID, not the shortname or name.

copy['location.owning_lib']
copy['circ_lib']

This prints just the ID.

If

copy['location.owning_lib.shortname']
copy['circ_lib.shortname']

or

copy['location.owning_lib.name']
copy['circ_lib.name']

could be added it would be more beneficial to all.

This is a potential show stopper for those PINES libraries with multiple branches that also print pocket labels with org unit name. The current workaround is to type the shortname into the template or label, either at the time of printing or having multiple templates for each branch. Since cataloging staff print out multiple labels for multiple branches at one time -- generally based on what they have cataloged in a day, this is not a workable solution since different branches would be mixed in one print run.

I have found a work around for now.
It will take some coding on the library's end.

Basically you take the id and translate it with in the pocket label. Here is the code for WEBBY. I using this with just my library's Ids. Just make sure all the coding is on one line.

<span ng-switch="copy.circ_lib"><span ng-switch-when="4">BR1</span><span ng-switch-when="5">BR2</span><span ng-switch-when="6">BR3</span><span ng-switch-when="7">BR4</span><span ng-switch-when="8">SL1</span><span ng-switch-when="9">BM1</span><span ng-switch-default>CONS</span></span>

Bumping this up to High - Lynn's workaround is handy, but we can't reasonably expect all of the library systems to implement that workaround.

Ah, I KNEW I had seen that bug! I'll mark my new one as a duplicate.

To reiterate from other bug about Owning Library needed:

callnumber.owning_library only prints the owning library's numeric ID and call_number.owning_lib.shortname prints nothing.

A patch is available at the tip of the user/gmcharlt/lp1726568_label_owning_lib branch in the working repository:

Works like a charm!

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, Terran McCanna, and my email address, <email address hidden>.

Thanks for testing, Terran! I've gone ahead and pushed this to master, rel_3_2, and rel_3_1.
