Add interface note to holdings display to acknolwedge issues with item ordering #159

Closed ryan-jacobs closed 1 year ago

ryan-jacobs commented 1 year ago

As discussed in #149, item ordering is problematic at the moment, and will be largely dependent on data in FOLIO that will take some time to generate universally. In the meantime we need to way to acknowledge the issue in the interface and communicate to users that we are working on it.

An example treatment could include a simple message at the top of the holdings list, with perhaps a glyph/icon that's shown with the message and in the Description header cell

Modifications will likely need to be focused here: https://github.com/Center-for-Research-Libraries/vufind/blob/crl-dev/themes/crl/templates/RecordTab/holdingsils.phtml

I also think it would be a very nice touch if we only show these elements when the item list is >5. For small lists and monographs the message may actually be more confusing than helpful.
