We have some custom code on Kurt’s server right now, but you should be able
to accomplish the same thing with a jquery. In the syspref opacuserjs, try
something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("span:contains('No copies available')").replaceWith("Available Online.");
});
The above assumes that ‘No copies available’ is the text string you’re
trying to replace with ‘Available Online.’ – adjust to the text you want.

Niall,
Ah, that’s a question for the magicians at PTFS. All I remember at the
moment was that the change was something *they* had to do for us, it wasn’t
something I could change myself in the Koha administrative settings. I’ve
been dredging through old emails, too, and can’t nail down one in which
just what happened got explained.
All the catalog behaviours are the same as ever, it was just a change in
the OPAC wording that appears after I click the “not for loan” status in
the Item Record 952 $7.

Thanks, Kurt
Do you know if they had to make a change to the coding, or is it something
that can be done out of the box?
The "Not for loan" status is controlled by an "Authorized value" in
administration - which only appears to allow you to create new wordings to
go with the status of not for loan - rather than change behaviours.
If I set up an "Available - Non-circulating" value, items with that status
still show on the results screen as "unavailable". I note that this doesn't
happen in your catalogue with your example.

We had our hosting service change the wording to “Available –
Non-circulating”

Hi
we'd be interesting to hear how other libraries using Koha deal with the
display of items marked "not for loan".
If you give an item the status of "not for loan" in the item record
(items.notforloan = 1) the display in the OPAC is "No items available" (in
red), the same as if all items are on loan.
However we think this is possibly a bit confronting for our users when what
we're trying to say is that the item is *available* - but only within the
library.
However if you get rid of the not for loan status and rely on, say, a
public note, there is no flag at checkout that the item is not meant for
loan.
I know this can also be controlled using item types - our Reference and
Rare Books item types display as "Available" on the OPAC, but present a
flag if you attempt to loan them out. However there are many items that we
would like to make not for loan that don't neatly fit into a particular
item type (eg. second copies of some reports, etc.), and which we'd like to
keep as part of one of the other item types for reporting purposes.
Any feedback gratefully received.
