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
marcimport.pl has been almost completly rewritten, so LOT OF BUGS TO COME !!! You've been warned. It seems to work, but...
As with my former messages, nothing seems to have been changed... but ...
* marcimport now uses HTML::Template.
* marcimport now uses MARC::Record. that means that when you import a record, the old-DB is populated with the data as in version 1.2, but the MARC-DB part is filled with full MARC::Record.
<IMPORTANT NOTE>
to get correct response times, you MUST add an index on isbn, issn and lccn rows in biblioitem table. Note this should be done in 1.2 too...
</IMPORTANT NOTE>
<IMPORTANT NOTE2>
acqui.simple manage biblio, biblioitems and items tables quite properly. Normal acquisition system manages biblio, biblioitems BUT NOT items. That will be done in the near future...
</IMPORTANT NOTE2>
what's next now ?
* bug tracking, of course... Surely a dozen of dozens...
* LOT of developpments, i'll surely write a mail to koha-devel tomorrow (as it's time for dinner in France, and i plan to play NeverwinterNights after dinner ;-) ...
