Kyle's suggestion to try the III listserv is a good one.  Trying to use III's tokens within a script I would
figure is challenging  at best given their proprietary nature.and their quirks -- not the least of which are that
when used on a web page  the token must be on a line by itself and must start in column 1.
 
My best guess is that if your statement were to work at all it would probably have to be formatted in 3 separate lines
similar to this:
 
<a href="http://testingserver.cwu.edu/myapp.php?callnum= <http://testingserver.cwu.edu/myapp.php?callnum=> 
<!--{itemcallno}-->
">TEST-LINK</a>

and even then it might not work the code is not on the III server.
 
Lots of luck trying.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Getting The Call Number In bib_display.html On III System



Hello folks,

I'm trying to figure out the III web dev interface in the Millenium java client. What a clunky, rinky-dink interface, IMHO! :)

I want to be able to display an item's call number in bib_display.html so I can feed it to a php script on another web server. It was suggested to me that the token for that was:

   <!--{itemcallno}-->

I tried that on our staging site, but it does not display anything. Specifically, I put in:

   <a href="http://testingserver.cwu.edu/myapp.php?callnum=<!--{itemcallno}-->">TEST-LINK</a>

The link with text "TEST-LINK" displayed, but the callnum parameter wasn't added.

Can anyone point this guy in the right direction?
