Hi, I seem to have a problem with the Koha database. When I search (via Catalogue->Search) for a word say 'word', I get a listing of books with the title, author, publisher, year, number of pages, etc, etc, exactly the way I would have expected. However when I click on any of these titles, MARCdetail.pl does not bring **any** information, the page is simply blank - there are no tabs (0, 1, 2 etc) on the left-hand side, except the 'items' one, which is empty as well. When I click on 'Normal', which runs detail.pl, I get all the info I would have expected. When I click on 'Edit biblio', I get all the tabs, and all the MARC fields the way I have set up, except **all** fields are blank. I suspect something funny went with the database, because my very very old database backup works just fine. Upgrading from koha 2.2.1 to koha 2.2.5 had no effect. I'm running RH8. I would really appreciate any pointers, things to try, to check etc. Thanking you in advance. tomasz kotula.
As a starting point, could you let us know what you see when you do a "MARC Check" from the Parameters page? Stephen T & J Kotula wrote:

First time we are reported such a problem. A) have you tried to see source code of the MARCdetail.pl page to see if it has data?
B) Is your framework using subfields and tabs (seems yes, but just want to verify) ? And are subfield values "hidden" ? HTH. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
Henri,
First time we are reported such a problem.
Looks like I'm a guinea pig :-) Answering your questions:
A) have you tried to see source code of the MARCdetail.pl page to see if it has data?
The information is not there - so unfortunately it's not an HTML/browser bug problem. The relevant, unedited code snippet is: <div class="tabs"> <a href="javascript:active(10)">I<br>t<br>e<br>m<br>s</a> </div> <div name="0XX" id="0XX" class="tab" style="visibility:visible"> </div> <div id="1XX" class="tab"> </div>
B) Is your framework using subfields and tabs (seems yes, but just want to verify) ? And are subfield values "hidden" ?
Framework is the same for both: current (broken) and very old (working) databases. Just for the record say for a MARC field 245, subfield <a>: marc_subfields_structure.pl?op=add_form&tagfield=245&frameworkcode= the only fields I have filled in are: mandatory, koha link: biblio.title, both Texts: Title, managed in tab 0 Thanks looking into this problem tomasz kotula.
