Hi HD! First of all thank you *again* for solving some of my problems. I do apologise for being a bit pushy by flooding the list with postings, some of which probably belong in Bugzilla. I was a bit hesitant putting anything in there, it looked to me like a bunch of devs communicating, did not want to intrude putting my dilletante comments in there... Bo Schafers a écrit :

1. In Cataloging, librarians are: A) Unable to edit a biblio's 'item values' and update/save them - the stored values are not even loaded into the from fields from the DB B) Unable to delete a biblio's 'items'. Clicking delete, nothing happens.

Did you link itemnumber to tag_item$9 subfield ?

OK. I took me a looong time (about 3 hours) to figure out what you were trying to tell me there. So I started poking a round in the subfield interface again and remembered that when doing the MARC check on sunday I kept getting the following cryptic error message: itemnum : the field itemnumber must be mapped to a field in tab -1 (ignore) Huh? Itemnum? I couldn't find a field called 'itemnumber', so I guessed it must be that. Then, whenever I put the field in tab -1 -I got an error message saying item fields must all be in Tab 10. Setting Ignore just didn't make sense, because I would NOT WANT Koha to ignore itemnumber field. So I ran around in circles until eventually I unmapped the field and ran MARC check again. It reporteed no errors, so i though that's what the solutionthat error message was.....Sorry about the long story...just trying to say..I'm not posting flippnatly to the list to give you guys a hard time, I'm actually spending a lot of time guessing and working by trial and error, deeply respectful of all the good work you guys have done... So today I finally figured out that intemnumber subfield *has* to be set to ignore. And now the editing and deleting of items works :-)

2. In Cataloging, when changing updating values in field 942c (itemtypes) in the Marc editor screen it does not update the new value in the biblioitems table. Have you linked 942c to biblioitems.itemtype in Biblioframework ? Is biblioitems.itemtype linked to only one subfield in the framework you use ?

YES! I have simply made a list of all the Koha fields, set virtually all other MARC fields to ignore, so I have the complete set of koha tags mapped *correctly*. As mentined before I can actually edit/update the MARC form and it all works, in MARC view- but it does not translate to simple view. I make a change- say the title, or item type, then it shows up in MARC view, however the Opac renders the tradtional, simple view and the changes are not reflected. I AM sure there is something wrong there, I can replicate this behaviour in the the Liblime demo installation!

3. When Deleting a book from Koha, the Biblio Subtitle (245b) is not erased from the subtitle database. When new books are added then the subtitles of the other books get all screwed up, Wrong, random subtitles for the books. Only solution is command line or phpmyadmin. Spooky!

Thank you for the updated biblio.pm in the the CVS. Subtitles are now correctly deleted and I'm very thankful. I urge all users of 2.9.9 to update this file. Maybe a solution would be to upload libLime's MARC framework in your DB rather than trying to build one on your own. Koha MARC frameworks are quite sensitive to bad configuration.

Hmmm. One can do that? That's cool! But how would I do that? And how do I import it. Sorry to bother you with this, but I have not read or seen anything about this, a link to some info would do, I'll figure out the rest.

I also tested npl templates for all the problems you speak about. Everything works well.

When you get a moment please check if MARC form edits show up in simple/Opac view, Thanks again and kind regards, Bo
