I think the issue here is not that you don't want it to appear as link some cases or that it doesn't, but that we have no way to configure a link text (see comment#5) or shorten very long URLs.
Which you could say, is actually a limitation of the MARC standard. Since our 952$u comes from 852$u. MARC does not allow you to define link text here.
The solution too provide a generic text (as in 856$u) is imo rather poor. Especially when we add multiple URIs in one field.
What you could do, is: add an item field urllinktext and provide a way to enter that field in the item editor somehow. It would live in items and not in MARC. But it could be used whenever we want to render an item URI.
I think we go way beyond 852 in a lot of areas - which is also the problem: There are no more free subfields in Koha to use for this. And if you have repated $u you also get the issue of sequence. Btw - if we used MFHD (MARC for Holdings Data, we could have a full 856 there, so it's not really a limitation of the standard). The item editor is not made to resort the item subfields and I also feel like that would not be a good solution and more error prone / harder to handle for catalogers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
