https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31161 --- Comment #11 from David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> --- One downside of hiding records/items in the OAI-PMH is that if you turn on your hiding after you've already harvested a Koha DB, then you'll never get the update... In theory, maybe it makes sense to mark a bib record as deleted - if it's been marked as hidden. That might not be compatible with the system preference "OpacSuppressionRedirect" though. If that syspref says "404" and OAI-PMH says "deleted"... that means that the record did once exist... And since deleted records are shown first and then existent records are shown second, a savvy consumer of OAI-PMH feeds could use it to infer that a record has been hidden rather than deleted... -- But it's an interesting idea. When I harvest records from Koha using plugins, I'll return "deleted" when a record is "hidden", as that allows newly hidden records/items to be removed from the third-party system automatically. -- I suppose that's only really relevant for supporting "OpacSuppression" and "OpacHiddenItemsHidesRecord: Hide" Technically, "OpacHiddenItems" could be supported now (with the only information leaking being based on update timestamps for hidden items but technically a record could have its timestamp updated with zero bib metadata changed so that's not necessarily revealing). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
