--- Comment #22 from Francois Charbonnier <[email protected]> 2011-12-09 10:02:30 UTC --- well, the thing is, to me, it does the same thing... whether it's the acquisition claim notice or the overdue notice, the <item> tag allow you to display a list of books. For the acquisition claim, you will have one line for a book with the quantity ordered, and for the overdue notice, one line for one overdue book... At the end, it just a list of books. And as a librarian, I used to buy books, not biblio records. So, today, I understand the logic as a "techie" but before working on koha, I think it would have been more confusing having two tags if we keep the <item> tag the way it works today. Because, the <item> tag can already display biblio info... So imagine, we have two tags, what are going to say to librarians? - how can i display info about overdue books in the odue notice? - well, you can use the item tag to display item information. - but, what about the title and the author? - you can put these information in the item tag. - great! ;^) - and now how can I display info about books I ordered and didn't receive in the acqclaim notice? - for this one, you can use the record tag because what you want for is only the biblio information - why not the <item> tag? i can use it to display the title and the author in the odue notice... - ... What I become to realise, writing all this, is that you are maybe right but it should be another development. That's not the purpose of this one. The use of the <item> tag for this develpment is still relevent _today_ because : * it's already in koha and it works, * it displays a list of books and that what we want * it can show item and biblio info as well and that what we need So if we want to introduce a new way to display item and biblio info. Why not! But, i think it should be another development.
