Hello, 3 questions/problems/suggestions :
=== 1 === Previously, one could search on authorities : - on the $a of the heading. Useful to find "Mister John" by not having all firstname "john" - on the heading itself - anywhere in the authority Those 3 possibilities are still in the staff client, but ... the underlying code treat $a as "Heading", and the result is the same as for heading. I don't know in MARC21, but in UNIMARC, the possibility was very important and interesting. I volunteer to reintroduce it, but I must know if it has been removed by mistake, or if there is something specific to MARC21. === 2 === Ordering authorities. Actually, the order is done on heading $a. That's not enough : when you search the author "Martin" (our french "Doe"), you get zillions results, unordered on the firstname. So we need to introduce a 2nd level of ordering. In UNIMARC, usually on the $b of the heading. === 3 ==== the authority-search.inc : there are 3 tabs, to search on heading ($a), heading, anywhere. libraries prefer the previous interface, that displayed the 3 lines, to show that you can search : heading ($a) : _______________ Heading : _______________ Anywhere : _______________ and you can search the 3 simultaneously. for example : heading ($a) : john, heading : Owen will find only surname john and firstname owen. the new behaviour is not clear enough for the users imo. how could we reintroduce the clear choice of the 3 input fields available at the same time ? Your opinion welcomed. -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : 04 91 31 45 19 _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
