Dear SubjectsPlus Community,

The JGU Library, O.P. Jindal Global University, India.

We are proud users of SubjectsPlus and have successfully implemented it to power our library's Research/Subject guide system. We would be delighted to have our instance added to the official community site list of implementations on your website.

Our site details are as follows:

Site Name: Global Library Research Guides

Site URL: https://libguides.jgu.edu.in/

Institution: O.P. Jindal Global University, Sonipat, Haryana, India

Beyond the standard setup, we have implemented several customizations to better serve our academic community, including:

A custom-developed theme that integrates with our university's branding and provides an improved user experience.

Customizations to the guide layout and functionality to suit the specific research needs of our students and faculty. Our major customizations include:

1. Enhanced Database Guide (database.php):
   1. Advanced Filtering: Implemented a user-friendly filter system allowing users to refine resources by Type, Source, and Format simultaneously.
   2. Expandable Descriptions: Added an extract field in resource descriptions, using a "+" toggle button to allow users to expand and collapse full details for a cleaner interface.
   3. Smart Authentication Proxy: Developed a PHP script that automatically detects a user's network location (on-campus vs. off-campus) and seamlessly routes them through our EZProxy (remotelog authentication) to ensure smooth access to paid resources. It will automatically detect the Campus IP mentioned in config.php and redirect to resource main page. 
2. Dynamic Subject Guide Index Page:
   1. Created a parent-child hierarchy for subject guides on the main index.
   2. Enhanced the display to show the number of active guides under each parent category.
   3. Designed a responsive interface using nav-pills for parent categories with two distinct viewing modes: a two-column layout for dense information and a single-column layout for a focused view.

We believe our implementation could serve as a useful reference for other institutions, particularly those looking to heavily customize their SubjectsPlus installation.

Thank you for your consideration and for maintaining this fantastic open-source tool.

Best regards,

Abid Fakhre Alam

Dear Abid,

Greetings of the day!

Congratulations on the implementation of SubjectPlus. Could you please inform us what version you are using? and the software is installed in the local server or elsewhere. 

Actually, we are encountering the issue while installing it on CPanel.

Thanks & Regards
