z3950 search and import seems to works fine.
Let me explain how :
* a "search z3950" button is added in the addbiblio template.
* when clicked, a popup appears and z3950/search.pl is called
* z3950/search.pl calls addz3950search in the DB
* the z3950 daemon retrieve the records and stores them in z3950results AND in marc_breeding table.
* as long as there as searches pending, the popup auto refresh every 2 seconds, and says how many searches are pending.
* when the user clicks on a z3950 result => the parent popup is called with the requested biblio, and auto-filled
Note :
* character encoding support : (It's a nightmare...) In the z3950servers table, a "encoding" column has been added. You can put "UNIMARC" or "USMARC" in this column. Depending on this, the char_decode in C4::Biblio.pm replaces marc-char-encode by an iso 8859-1 encoding. Note that in the breeding import this value has been added too, for a better support.
* the marc_breeding and z3950* tables have been modified : they have an encoding column and the random z3950 number is stored too for convenience => it's the key I use to list only requested biblios in the popup.
this script checks MARC parameters and try to detect tome errors in configuration.
currently checks 7 differents things.
The 1.3.3 MARC21 parameters fails miserabily to this test : 3 errors !!!
* many bugfixes
* adding value_builder : you can map a subfield in the marc_subfield_structure to a sub stored in "value_builder" directory. In this directory you can create screen used to build values with any method. In this commit is a 1st draft of the builder for 100$a unimarc french subfield, which is composed of 35 digits, with 12 differents values (only the 4th first are provided for instance)
* bugfixes and improvements
* manage mandatory MARC subfields
* new table : authorised_values. this table contains categories and authorised values for the category. On MARC management, you can map a subfield to a authorised_values category. If you do this, the subfield can only be filled with a authorised_value of the selected category.
this submit contains everything needed :
* updatedatabase
* admin screens
* "links" management
* creation of a html-list if a subfield is mapped to an authorised value.
Note this is different from authorities support, which will come soon.
The authorised_values is supposed to contains a "small" number of authorised values for a category (less than 50-100). If you enter more authorised values than this, it should be hard to find what you want in a BIG list...
seems to work a few.
still to do :
* manage html checks (mandatory subfields...)
* add list of acceptable values (authorities)
* manage ## in MARC format
* manage correctly repeatable fields
and probably a LOT of bugfixes
