| 2142 | | The standard \gsiii\ navigation bar lists all the services available for the collection. In \gsii\ , the navigation bar provides the search option, and the different classifiers. This is not service specific, but hard coded to the search and classifiers. The XSLT that produces the navigation bar needed to be altered to produce this. But also, a new Receptionist was needed. |

| 2143 | | The standard receptionist (DefaultReceptionist) gathers a little bit of extra information for each page of XML before transforming it: this is the list of services for the collection and their display information, allowing the services to be listed along the navigation bar. This is information that is needed by every page (except for the library home page) and therefore is obtained by the receptionist instead of by each action. The nzdl interface needed a bit more information than this: for the ClassifierBrowse service, if there was one, the list of classifiers and their display elements must be obtained. So a new Receptionist (NZDLReceptionist) was written that inherited from DefaultReceptionist, and added this new info into the page. |
