1) We can't import MARC records from a Z39.50 search. For e.g., i just search for "Great Expectations" from Library of Congress and attempt to import, and i get the error below. This error occurs for pretty much any book.
Koha error
The following fatal error has occurred:
Can't call method "add_subfields" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl line 141. [...] Any thoughts or ideas?
I think this can happen when you have authorities enabled, BiblioAddsAuthorities OFF and the place you're importing from doesn't use the same authorities headings as you. As a simple fix, try switching BiblioAddsAuthorities ON and see if the error goes away. As a longer-term fix, you need to choose how to handle authorities and imports. More generally, should we have a BiblioZAddsAuthorities syspref so that only Z imports can add to the authorities file? Please don't email both the user and devel lists without warning! For example, I'm reading my devel folder right now and I've written my reply, then I spot the cc. I don't know if anyone has replied to the user list and solved this. I might have wasted my time. Please pick one list first and if they can't answer, then repost it to the other later.
