I think you don't need this syspref : 3 use case : - library has a strong thesaurus, that should not be modified automatically : BiblioAddsAuthorities = OFF, and it's forbidden to enter something without using the ... - library has a thesaurus, but not a strong one : BiblioAddsAuthorities = ON and adding an authority in the biblio add it in the authorities - library don't care : remove authorities link the the cataloguing frameworks ;-) [1] with your 2 sysprefs, you could reach a situation where you have a thesaurus, and you have biblios that have authorities values that are not in the authorities. In UNIMARC, it's strictly forbidden ;-) HTH [1] that's why, in french UNIMARC installer, you have the choice between 2 UNIMARC : "lecture pub" (public library), that don't have a thesaurus, and "specialised library", that has a thesaurus. -- 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
