How KPL set up their redirect:

1. Set up your destination page, e.g. a custom page that links to your member libraries, etc. In our case, we used the mainmenu.html on the Sierra WebPAC for this, as it loads by default when accessing books.kpl.org. I’m not sure if or how this differs in a Polaris environment – you could instead build a page on your website if preferred, doesn’t really matter where it lives.
2. Sign into the Discover admin site. Navigate to Page Customizations > Header and Footer.
3. Under Page Languages, click the Configure button next to the appropriate language. This will take you to the configuration page for the global site.
4. Place a checkmark in the box next to “Use Customized Header Code”.
5. Add the following line, replacing books.kpl.org with the link to the custom page you set up in the first step. Be sure to keep the single quotes around the url.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='https://books.kpl.org'&quot; />
6. Click the Save button.

Your global Discover link should now redirect to the custom destination page. The staff link will not be affected by this change, as the customized header code is not used by the Discover admin interface.

Hi Luke,

Kitchner set up a redirect from https://kitch.ca.iiivega.com/ to https://books.kpl.org/.

Their staff are still able to log in using https://kitch.ca.iiivega.com/staff/.

You can try reaching out to them on the listserv for more details on how they set that up, or we can try and connect you.
