Adding an Authority Type in Koha
Dear All, I am adding authority control to the 752 tag in a Koha instance. This is a hierarchical place name with the $a= country or larger entity and $d= city The system is on release 16.5 I have followed the instructions in the koha wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Create_new_authority_type It is mostly working: The authorities are created and they link back to the biblio record correctly (the $9 is populated. etc). The authority is searchable when adding an authority. The one thing I am having a problem with is that when searching in the auth_finder.pl popup the system only displays the $a in the result list. I need the $d to make sense of the list, as that is where the actual place name is, otherwise all you see is a list of countries. In an author search it will happily show a $a and $d and the same for subject headings. I suspect that I have missed something somewhere, so any advice on where to look would be most gratefully received. Many thanks Charles S.

in fact the wiki page is not enough in your case. When you add a new authority type you need also to personalize also the routine in BuildSummary in C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm. If you don't do this on search result you see only subfield $a, that is the default of the routine 'BuildSummary'. Now I will update the wiki page.
