So I managed to get round the issues I was having importing a cut down framework. I have now managed to import the attached framework by using an SQL script pointed out by Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel. I was then able to export to XML and edit in Excel and then re-import with changes to hidden fields for a few MARC numbers so that they disaply a box. I am now running the framework test and I get teh following results: MARC bibliographic framework test Test Result itemnum The field itemnum MUST be mapped The corresponding subfield MUST be in with -1 (ignore) tab item fields ALL items fields MUST : be mapped to the same tag, and they must all be in the 10 (items) tab OK Only 1 MARC tag mapped to items OK biblioitems.itemtype defined homebranch NOT mapped the items.homebranch field MUST : be mapped to a MARC subfield, the corresponding subfield MUST have "Authorized value" set to "branches" holdingbranch NOT mapped the items.holdingbranch field MUST : be mapped to a MARC subfield, the corresponding subfield MUST have "Authorized value" set to "branches" OK at least 1 item type defined OK at least 1 library defined biblio and biblionumber The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields be mapped to a MARC subfield, OK no NULL value in frameworkcode OK all subfields for each tag are in the same tab (or ignored) OK all authority types used in the frameworks are defined TOTAL You have 5 error(s) in your MARC configuration. Please fix them before using Koha Looking at the errors it is complaining about I already have those values configured on the XML file, or at least as far as I can work out. I fully admit that the "Hidden" column seems a touch voodoo to me. I would be grateful of any thoughts as I am thinking that any items I create using this framework I have created will not function correctly.
