Thank you for attending #ILLiad24!

Thank you to everyone who attended #ILLiad24 and celebrated 24 Years of Resource Sharing Efficiency with ILLiad! It was awesome to see everyone and connect in Gather. These days, it's not very often colleagues can connect with conferences and training being only virtual. Besides being able to create your own avatar, walk around the events center, attend various sessions, and interact with other nearby participants, Atlas received tons of great feedback and insight from ILLiad users.

If you didn't get a chance to attend the birthday party, you can listen to the session recordings here: https://training.atlas-sys.com/Course/Details/4350.

#ILLiad24 has also been a great catalyst to look at updating some addons to use Chromium, both from community-authored addons and within Atlas. The IDS Project has converted:

• HathiTrust
• Google Combined

Atlas has updated the Google Search addon to use Chromium; We also added a button to open the URL in a default browser outside of the client so that the user can have all of their standard tools available to them (like download a PDF which is currently a limitation in the default Chromium-based browser's PDF Viewer).

For anyone who has custom-built addons and would like to set the default browser to Chromium in the addon, you'll need to use the CreateBrowser method mentioned in the FormInterface Documentation. For example, see the ILLiad GOBI Addon code snippet below:

function Init()
 if GetFieldValue("Transaction", "RequestType") == "Loan" then
  interfaceMngr = GetInterfaceManager();
  --Create Form
  GOBISearchForm.Form = interfaceMngr:CreateForm("GOBI", "Script");
-- Create browser

  GOBISearchForm.Browser = GOBISearchForm.Form:CreateBrowser("GOBI Search", "GOBI Search Browser", "GOBI Search", "Chromium");
  -- Hide the text label
  GOBISearchForm.Browser.TextVisible = false;

  -- Since we didn't create a ribbon explicitly before creating our browser, it will have created one using the name we passed the CreateBrowser method.  We can retrieve that one and add our buttons to it.
  GOBISearchForm.RibbonPage = GOBISearchForm.Form:GetRibbonPage("GOBI Search");
  -- Imports price from first Item in list.
  GOBISearchForm.RibbonPage:CreateButton("Search ISBN", GetClientImage("Search32"), "SearchISBN", "GOBI Search");
  GOBISearchForm.RibbonPage:CreateButton("Search Title", GetClientImage("Search32"), "SearchTitle", "GOBI Search");
  GOBISearchForm.RibbonPage:CreateButton("Import Price", GetClientImage("Search32"), "PullPrice", "GOBI Search");

  GOBISearchForm.Form:Show();

  Search();
 end
end
