Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Hide records on Leader 05 = d in OPAC

 

Sounds good to me David.  If you get some code up there I'll find someone to 
Test.

 

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi all:

 

Recently, http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11084 was 
pushed to master. It adds a cronjob which deletes bibliographic records, if 
their LDR05 is “d” (ie status deleted).

 

While I’m all for that, I’m thinking that it would also be a good idea to hide 
these records with LDR05 “d” in the OPAC before the cronjob is run.

 

We can’t necessarily rely on all Koha instances running this cronjob, nor can 
we rely on the frequency. Shouldn’t we be hiding these records from the OPAC as 
soon as they’re marked as “deleted”? 

 

I’ve opened a bug for this purpose: 
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15537

 

It should be a pretty easy change, especially when using special attribute 
@attr 14=1 to avoid past OpacSuppression problems, but I thought I’d ask folk 
if it’s something they’d be interested in. We’d probably still want to see 
these records in the Staff Client, as we want to be able to find all records in 
the database in the Staff Client.

 

I admit that I have a special interest in this where I might be overlaying 
existing records using a mostly empty skeleton record generated from an OAI-PMH 
identifier and a OAI-PMH deleted status (OAI-PMH doesn’t send metadata for 
deleted records). I’d match the existing record in Koha using the identifier, 
and then set LDR05 to “d” in accordance with the OAI-PMH deleted status. Then, 
that record would disappear from the OPAC, so that end users don’t see this 
skeleton record.
