Uses a complete new ZEBRA Indexing.
ZEBRA is now XML and comprises of a KOHA meta record. Explanatory notes will be on koha-devel
Fixes UTF8 problems
Fixes bug with authorities
SQL database major changes.
Separate biblioograaphic and holdings records. Biblioitems table depreceated
etc. etc.
Wait for explanatory document on koha-devel
the intranet. The development was made on branch 2.2 by Arnaud Laurin from
Ouest Provence and integrated on HEAD by Pierrick Le Gall from INEO media
system.
New page reserve/request.pl taking a biblionumber as entry point.
New functions:
- C4::Biblio::get_iteminfos_of retrieves item informations for a list of
itemnumbers
- C4::Biblio::get_biblioiteminfos_of retrieves biblioitem informations for a
list of biblioitemnumbers
- C4::Biblio::get_itemnumbers_of retrieve the list of itemnumbers related to
each biblionumber given in argument.
- C4::Circulation::Circ2::get_return_date_of retrieves return date for a
list of itemnumbers.
- C4::Koha::get_itemtypeinfos_of retrieves the informations related to a
list of itemtypes.
- C4::Koha::get_branchinfos_of retrieves the informations related to a list
of branchcodes.
- C4::Koha::get_notforloan_label_of retrives the list of status/label for
the authorised_values related to notforloan.
- C4::Koha::get_infos_of is the generic function used by all get_*infos_of.
- C4::Reserves2::GetNumberReservesFromBorrower
- C4::Reserves2::GetFirstReserveDateFromItem
Modified functions:
- C4::Reserves2::FindReserves was simplified to be more readable.
The reservation page is reserve/request.pl and is linked from nowhere as
long as zebra is not stable yet on HEAD.
longer necessary. If we need to convert from MARC-8 for display, we should:
1. use utf-8
2. do it with MARC::Charset
If you still need it, let me know and I'll put it back in.
Seems not to break too many things, but i'm probably wrong here.
at least, new features/bugfixes from 2.2.5 are here (tested on some features on my head local copy)
- removing useless directories (koha-html and koha-plucene)
some explanations :
- updater/updatedatabase => will transform all tables in innoDB (not related to utf8, just to warn you) AND collate them in utf8 / utf8_general_ci. The SQL command is : ALTER TABLE tablename DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci.
- *-top.inc will show the pages in utf8
- THE HARD THING : for me, mysql-client and mysql-server were set up to communicate in iso8859-1, whatever the mysql collation ! Thus, pages were improperly shown, as datas were transmitted in iso8859-1 format ! After a full day of investigation, someone on usenet pointed "set NAMES 'utf8'" to explain that I wanted utf8. I could put this in my.cnf, but if I do that, ALL databases will "speak" in utf8, that's not what we want. Thus, I added a line in Context.pm : everytime a DB handle is opened, the communication is set to utf8.
- using marcxml field and no more the iso2709 raw marc biblioitems.marc field.
* synch with rel_2_2. Probably the last non manual synch, as rel_2_2 should not be modified deeply.
* code cleaning (cleaning warnings from perl -w) continued
IMPORTANT NOTE : the MARCkoha2marc sub API has been modified. Instead of biblionumber & biblioitemnumber, it now gets a hash.
The sub is used only in Biblio.pm, so the API change should be harmless (except for me, but i'm aware ;-) )
* go to koha cvs home directory
* in misc/zebra there is a unimarc directory. I suggest that marc21 libraries create a marc21 directory
* put your zebra.cfg files here & create your database.
* from koha cvs home directory, ln -s misc/zebra/marc21 zebra (I mean create a symbolic link to YOUR zebra directory)
* now, everytime you add/modify a biblio/item your zebra DB is updated correctly.
NOTE :
* this uses a system call in perl. CPU consumming, but we are waiting for indexdata Perl/zoom
* deletion still not work
* UNIMARC zebra config files are provided in misc/zebra/unimarc directory. The most important line being :
in zebra.cfg :
recordId: (bib1,Local-number)
storeKeys:1
in .abs file :
elm 090 Local-number -
elm 090/? Local-number -
elm 090/?/9 Local-number !:w
(090$9 being the field mapped to biblio.biblionumber in Koha)
* removing useless subs
* removing some subs that are also elsewhere
* renaming all OLDxxx subs to REALxxx subs (should not change anything, as OLDxxx, as well as REAL, are supposed to be for Biblio.pm internal use only)
don't update your cvs if you want to have a working head...
this commit contains :
* updater/updatedatabase : get rid with marc_* tables, but DON'T remove them. As a lot of things uses them, it would not be a good idea for instance to drop them. If you really want to play, you can rename them to test head without them but being still able to reintroduce them...
* Biblio.pm : modify MARCgetbiblio to find the raw marc record in biblioitems.marc field, not from marc_subfield_table, modify MARCfindframeworkcode to find frameworkcode in biblio.frameworkcode, modify some other subs to use biblio.biblionumber & get rid of bibid.
* other files : get rid of bibid and use biblionumber instead.
What is broken :
* does not do anything on zebra yet.
* if you rename marc_subfield_table, you can't search anymore.
* you can view a biblio & bibliodetails, go to MARC editor, but NOT save any modif.
* don't try to add a biblio, it would add data poorly... (don't try to delete either, it may work, but that would be a surprise ;-) )
IMPORTANT NOTE : you need MARC::XML package (http://search.cpan.org/~esummers/MARC-XML-0.7/lib/MARC/File/XML.pm), that requires a recent version of MARC::Record
Updatedatabase stores the iso2709 data in biblioitems.marc field & an xml version in biblioitems.marcxml Not sure we will keep it when releasing the stable version, but I think it's a good idea to have something readable in sql, at least for development stage.
A sub had been forgotten to use the C4::Context->marcfromkohafield array, that caches DB datas.
this is only a little improvement for normal DB modif, but almost x2 the speed of bulkmarcimport... from 6records/seconds to more than 10.
* partial support of the "linkage" MARC feature : if you enter a "link" on a MARC subfield, the magnifying glass won't search on the field, but on the linked field. I agree it's a partial support. Will be improved, but I need to investigate MARC21 & UNIMARC diffs on this topic.
In 2.4, a new DB structure will highly speed things and this limit will be removed.
FindDuplicate is activated again, the perf problems were due to this problem.
For instance, it's only done on ISBN only. Will be improved soon.
When a duplicate is detected, the biblio is not saved, but the user is asked for a confirmations.
This field is useful when the callnumber contains no information on the room where the item is stored.
With this field, we now have 3 levels of informations to find a book :
* the branch.
* the location.
* the callnumber.
This should be versatile enough to solve any storing method.
This hack is quite simple, due to the nice Biblio.pm API. The MARC => koha db link is automatically managed. Just add the link in the parameters section.
1st draft for MARC biblio deletion.
Still does not work well, but at least, Biblio.pm compiles & it should'nt break too many things
(Note the trash in the MARCdetail, but don't use it, please :-) )
I changed this behaviour :
if notforloan is set for a given item, and NOT for all items from this itemtype, the notforloan is kept.
If notforloan is set for itemtype, it's used (and impossible to loan a specific item from this itemtype)
This supports is only for MARC <-> OLD-DB link. It worked previously, but values entered as MARC were not reported to OLD-DB, neither values entered as OLD-DB were reported to MARC.
Note that some OLD-DB subs are strange (dummy ?) see OLDmodsubject, OLDmodsubtitle, OLDmodaddiauthor in C4/Biblio.pm
For example it seems impossible to have more that 1 addi author and 1 subtitle. In MARC it's not the case. So, if you enter more than one, I'm afraid only the LAST will be stored.
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
