[Koha] Adding support for NORMARC to Koha 3

[Zeno Tajoli]

Hi Magnus,

sorry for delay but I have many problems on other software.

in fact koha do a check but on display, not on search.
If you go to file /mnt/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm on line 3196
you can see that is a line in the sub get_biblio_authorised_values
that do a check on your sql definition of NORMARC

line 3813: $query = q(SELECT distinct authorised_value, kohafield
                     FROM marc_subfield_structure
                     WHERE authorised_value !=''
                       AND (kohafield like 'biblio%'
                        OR  kohafield like '') );

after the setup of the check.

So what can I suggest you ?
In Intranet go to Administration › System Preferences
Insert in the search box 'isbd'.
You find two prefernces:
BiblioDefaultView
ISBD

Setup ISBD with NORMARC (it is setuped with MARC21).
After change BiblioDefaultView  to ISBD
After go to http://<your 
server>:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumber=1
This is a direct link so you don't use Zebra. If 
you don't have record number 1, try 2, 3 etc.

If all is ok you will see your record with your ISDB configuration.
To setup the normal display go to 
<http://131.175.9.53:8080/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl>Home 
› 
<http://131.175.9.53:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/admin-home.pl>Administration 
› MARC Links (I think, I'm not sure).

Now you need to setup Zebra, storage and indexes.
Rebuil the indexes from scratch

After all those operation you need to work on authority.

Until now I don't know more.
Tell us the result after all operations.

Bye
