I have to say that the idea of developing icons for every general medium designator (GMD) is intriguing, and we could make the icons available as part of the Koha package. Is there something similar to the GMD in UNIMARC? What is a GMD is not clear to me...
It's a code that's inserted into the MARC record (245h in MARC 21) that specifies if the item being cataloged is a monograph, a computer file, a video recording, etc. (Maybe Steve B. can tell us what all 27 official GMD's are?) In other words, it's very similar to an itemtype.
However, I plan to add a feature to itemtypes, the url to the image to show in front of it (in head, for next major relase, not for 2.2.x) The url being either a "relative url" (= an image in Koha official release) or a "complete url (=an image belonging to the library). The "relative url" being for libraries that are happy with official images, the "complete url" being for libraries that want their own images.
My idea being the itemtype code is local to a library, so we need a way to "map" itemtype to the image.
Let me know what is GMD or if my idea is good/stupid (& why)
Sounds like a very good idea to me. It should provide libraries with a choice of using an "official" Koha icon for their item types, or making their own icons. How do we decide what the "official" icons are? Stephen
