Below is a way to hide drop-down menus from popping up suggesting values in fields like the 260/264 field in the Alma Metadata Editor, e.g. this kind of thing:
Please be aware that it does affect all “suggestion” drop-downs in Alma, including ones that may have been set up locally (e.g., the 336) or any that you might actually find useful. It is quicker than it looks to implement and works (for me at least) on both Firefox and Chrome:
-
- Install the Stylish add-on:
- Don’t bother accepting any of the options about suggesting styles from various websites: just click through to make the add-on happy. When it’s done…
- Click on the Stylish “S” icon in the top-right.
- Click on the three-dot menu icon and select “Create New Style”
- Give it a name in the box under “Edit” (e.g. “Hide Alma Suggestions”)
- Where it says “Applies to” click on the “Specify” button:
- Change “URL” to “URLs on the domain”
- Put “alma.exlibrisgroup.com” in the box
- In the Code box above that, add the following line, from the dot to the closing brace:
.suggestion-popup {display: none}- Click on “Save”
- It should now be working. Below is a screenshot of what it should look like:
All it really does is not display any boxes which are in the CSS class “suggestion-popup”- technically they’re still there somewhere.
