Hi Dana -
The API code will continue to work if you move/copy the boxes around or use that same code in an outside site. It's not session or location based. :)
Anna :)
Thanks Anna - I had been going in the direction of keeping a record on a private page, and this can work for now, but it is not an ideal solution for a variety of reasons, so I'll be interested to see if anything develops out of this discussion.

Hi Dana - Thanks for the suggestion! :)
I can see how having a notes field would be very helpful for keeping track of things. I can see it happening on the widgets page since that lists all of the widgets created in your system, but since you don't…
Hi, as our various librarians start to make widgets and apis for various purposes, embedding code in courseware etc., I'm seeing a need to keep track of where and how code is being used so that things aren't deleted by accident or changed with unint…
Hi, I would also like to see a tighter integration of the "external" guides Jon suggests, but also by
-- having them show up in the Browse All Guides A-Z list -- folks around here frequently forget that these only show up in Browse All by Subject
--…
Sounds great! We would love that functionality.
Hi Slaven, thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
Best regards,
Dana
Hi Dana, Rich, and others...
Just to chime in on this - I spoke with Anna and with our tech team and the issue of reusing links yet being able to edit some of the link information has been brought up before by some of our clients so we figured the…
Thanks Anna - looking forward to hearing more, and happy holidays to you and your colleagues,
Dana
Hi Dana & Rich -
I just wanted to let you know that I passed your ideas on to our tech team. They're currently looking at options available for making this process easier. I'll let you know what the outcome is as soon as I hear. :)
As a LibGuides…
Thanks for the interest Rich. The librarians here are not satisfied with any of those workarounds either, so we also have some of each going on, and it does make for some maintenance headaches.
Perhaps we should move this to the enhancements forum.…
We would also be interested in this functionality. Our workarounds thus far have been:
(1) to create a few duplicate links;
(2) to keep the description generic and then put the link in it's own box with additional text above the link; or
(3) to use…
Hi Dana,
The proxy prefix setting was added to LibGuides for exactly that reason - it allows you to store the proxy value in a single location (rather than on each URL) allowing for easy updates. So once you have changed the proxy value on the Syst…
Hi, I think the answer if yes, but I'm being careful - if we have to change our proxy prefix in the system wide settings will that effect a global replace on existing proxied links?
We're trying to reuse links as much as possible, especially to manage maintenance of our databases A-Z list. This means keeping the descriptions pretty generic, but of course there are occasions when librarians would like to say something specific a…
I'm having an interesting turn of events. I copied the code for a small box. I made a new box in my Library Master, worked fine.
I made a new box for the medium size - but it put the code in the small box!
I made a new box for the large size - and…
