Hi Jonathan, as we made it possible to configure geographic location data by library, I feel we should show all libraries on the map. There are some quite big consortia (or Turkey) that have only one installation presenting a lot of independent libraries. Generally I think showing more information is better - It's interesting to learn about multi-branch libraries. The formatting on the list by country is a bit different to the other pages, it would be nice to make it match the all libraries list a bit more and make it easier to read. I wonder if we have installations with branches in different countries? Katrin On 12.12.18 23:34, Jonathan Druart wrote:
Hi everybody,
I have been working on the Hea website (hea.koha-community.org) this afternoon to fix an issue reported by Sonia [1]. I noticed that the display and the information of the libraries are not always accurate and useful, but I have trouble providing something that would be ergonomic.
There are 2 things to display: the Koha's installations and the libraries A Koha installation can have several libraries (branches). We have 3 views: - See all libraries https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries - See by country https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries-by-country - See on a map https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries-on-a-map
On the map there are only the installations that are displayed. Before today all libraries from all installations were displayed on the "all libraries" view, one row per library. It is still as it but they are now grouped by installation: for instance search for "Bibliothèque université Lyon 3" and you will see the different libraries for this installation. I feel like it is better but not perfect. We should at least remove the second if there is only 1 library and that it has the same value as the installation.
On the "by country" I have not changed anything, but libraries are displayed. It seems that it would be better to display the installations instead.
Basically my feeling is that we should only display the installations on the map, "by country" and maybe on "all libraries" as well. And the details of the installation on the installation view (for instance https://hea.koha-community.org/libraries/602 for Lyon 3).
I guess somebody else could think the contrary and prefer to highlight "per library" instead of "per installation".
I am open to any suggestions, feel free to open issue on the tracker of the project or simply by answering to this email.
Regards, Jonathan
PS: Yes some old/wrong data must be removed. I planned to remove all data that have not been updated in the last 6 months (which represent ~300 installations out of 1145), but actually some seem valid, so it is certainly a bug somewhere...
