You can add a new biblio/biblioitem/item now.
Currently you can only do this by using the Add biblio without ISBN/ISSN
link. The next task is to get the isbnsearch and title search linking to the
nonmarc scripts if marc support is off, and then to template them all.
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.
It was due to an illegal contruction in Koha : we tried to retrive subfields from <10 tags.
That's not possible. MARC::Record accepted this in 0.93 version, but it was fixed after.
Now, the construct/retrieving is OK !
* worked in 1.9.0, but not in 1.9.1 :
- modif of a biblio didn't work
- empty fields where not shown when modifying a biblio. empty fields managed by the library (ie in tab 0->9 in MARC parameter table) MUST be entered, even if not presented.
* did not work before :
- repeatable subfields now works correctly. Enter 2 subfields separated by | and they will be splitted during saving.
- dropped the last subfield of the MARC form :-(
Internal changes :
- MARCmodbiblio now works by deleting and recreating the biblio. It's not perf optimized, but MARC is a "do_something_impossible_to_trace" standard, so, it's the best solution. not a problem for me, as biblio are rarely modified.
Note the MARCdelbiblio has been rewritted to enable deletion of a biblio WITHOUT deleting items.
Those fields doesn't have subfields.
In koha, we will use a specific "trick" : fields <10 will have a "virtual" subfield : "@".
Note it's only virtual : when rebuilding the MARC::Record, the koha API handle correctly "@" subfields => the resulting MARC record has a 00x field without subfield.
'mandatory' property to a per-subfield 'tag_mandatory' template parameter,
so that addbiblio.tmpl can distinguish between mandatory subfields in a
mandatory tag and mandatory subfields in an optional tag
Not-minor factoring in acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl to make the if-else blocks
smaller, and to add some POD; need further testing for this
Added function to check if a MARC subfield name is "koha-internal" (instead
of checking it for 'lib' and 'tag' everywhere); temporarily added to Koha.pm
Use above function in acqui.simple/additem.pl and search.marc/search.pl
Create output_html_with_http_headers function to contain the "print $query
->header(-type => guesstype...),..." call. This is in preparation for
non-HTML output (e.g., text/xml) and charset conversion before output in
the future.
Created C4/Interface/CGI/Template.pm to hold convenience functions specific
to the CGI interface using HTML::Template
Modified moremembers.pl to make the "sex" field localizable for languages
where M and F doesn't make sense
in ISO-8859-1.
A new C4::Charset module (tentative name) has been created to guess the
charset of a piece of HTML markup. The CGI programs will be modified to use
this module as they are encountered during translation.
* many bugfixes
* adding value_builder : you can map a subfield in the marc_subfield_structure to a sub stored in "value_builder" directory. In this directory you can create screen used to build values with any method. In this commit is a 1st draft of the builder for 100$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
The acquisition system in MARC version will work like this :
* marcimport will put marc records into a "breeding farm" table.
* when the user want to add a biblio, he enters first the ISBN/ISSN of the biblio. koha searches into breeding farm and if the record exists, it is shown to the user to help him adding the biblio. When the biblio is added, it's deleted from the breeding farm.
This commit :
* modify acqui.simple home page (addbooks.pl)
* adds import into breeding farm
Please note that :
* z3950 functionnality is dropped from "marcimport" will be added somewhere else.
* templates are in a new acqui.simple sub directory, and the marcimport template directory will become obsolete soon.I think this is more logic
