[Koha] cross-links in analytics

[Giuseppe Angilella]

Dear Elaine,

I think I figured out.

I've explicitly found out that "Currently Koha doesn't support 774 fields 
for display." See: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Analytics

However, it should amount to changing the XSLT stylesheet for displaying 
OPAC details. This is defined in Koha system's preference variable: 
OPACXSLTResultsDisplay, which is normally set to "default".

I gather that Koha uses

/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl

as its default XSL stylesheet for displaying OPAC details of a record 
("Normal" view). I could indeed locate the section in that file dealing 
with a 773 MARC datafield, if present, and it shouldn't be too difficult 
to clone that section for 774 datafields.

This would only solve the "display" part of the cross-links issue, as the 
"easy" procedure to add analytics (773 datafield) to a constituent item 
would not automatically add analytics (774 datafield) to the corresponding 
host item. That should be presently done manually, as you said.

Many thanks and best regards,

Giuseppe.
