Hi
I have a project about making more easy to hide/unhide records on the
OPAC (without having to edit the record in cataloguing mode).
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9778
In the discussion with Fridolyn Somers, the idea of creating first a new
column in biblio table for storing the "OPAC visibiliy" status appeared.
It is not *stricty *needed but I imagine it could be used by other
enhancements later.
The issue is that there no field used universally in UNIMARC for storing
the visibility information (for ex. in our library we have a non
standard field for that, so our Zebra record.abs is specific for this
point).:-(
So to take advantage of this change, libraries (maybe only Unimarc
libraries?) which will upgrade to 3.14 will need
- to map their frameworks with the new field in sql database, so that
Koha could know which MARC field is used to store the information.
- then, to run a script - once for all - for updating this new field in
sql database
As it will imply manual operations after upgrade, I wanted to get the
opinion of the RM fist.
So, Galen, have you got some objections or comments?
