Primo VE: Display Top Menu Links with OpenURL requests

Primo VE: Display Top Menu Links with OpenURL requests

When a user links from an Electronic Database into Primo VE through OpenURL linking, by default, users will see a page without the familiar top Menu Links.  This CSS code will insert the Menu Links.


The solution requires the following custom CSS code be added to the /VIEW_CODE/css/custom1.css file:


  1. /* Show Main Menu links on Services Page */
  2.       prm-topbar .isDeposit, prm-topbar .isServicePage, prm-topbar .isSummonOverAlma {display: inline;}
