[Bug 5106] New: Simplify MARC view choices in the OPAC
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5106 Summary: Simplify MARC view choices in the OPAC Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: HEAD Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: ASSIGNED Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: OPAC AssignedTo: oleonard@myacpl.org ReportedBy: oleonard@myacpl.org QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Estimated Hours: 0.0 The MARC view in the OPAC is useful to librarians, but probably less to to non-librarian patrons. Offering two ways to view a MARC record (when XSLT is on) seems like overkill, an unnecessary complication to the interface. Users who click the link that pops up the modal MARC window will find that their back button doesn't work until they click "close" on that window. I propose the following: 1. Eliminate the "Extended MARC View" tab 2. Point the "MARC View" tab to opac-MARCDetail.pl as it is when XSLT is off 3. Offer a "view plain" link on opac-MARCDetail.pl. Clicking this link would replace the standard labeled MARC view with an unformatted view similar to the one displayed in the pop-up modal MARC view. 4. When viewing the "plain view," clicking the "view labeled" link will return you to the standard labeled MARC view. This solution accomplishes the following: 1. Simplifies the interface 2. Eliminates the back button problem with the pop-up MARC view 3. Gives librarians alternatives for viewing MARC, including a view which makes cut and paste of the raw record easy. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

Clicking it brings you to this view. If XSLT is on, a "view plain" link will appear as it does in this screenshot. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

Engard <nengard@gmail.com> --- I would add 2 points: 1. Change the label to 'Librarian View' or 'Staff View' or something other than MARC (other OPACs have done this already) 2. I would rename make what you call 'plain view' the default and then have a link to 'labeled view' or if not come up with a different name for 'plain view' cause that really makes no sense :) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

I don't know... If the view is primarily for librarians, why not use a label that librarians understand? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

It sounds like "not for non-librarian users" if we label it staff/librarian view. At least MARC is something you can enquire about (i.e. use wikipedia) for more info. -- Colin Campbell Chief Software Engineer, PTFS Europe Limited Content Management and Library Solutions +44 (0) 208 366 1295 (phone) +44 (0) 7759 633626 (mobile) colin.campbell@ptfs-europe.com skype: colin_campbell2 http://www.ptfs-europe.com

Works fine. I like the idea, but would like to make the distinction between view labeled and view plain more clear. I would suggest to stick to the current name Expanded (instead of the new Labeled). Additionally, you could perhaps mention both views on the same line: [View plain MARC] and [View expanded MARC]. Show by color or so which view is active, or by label: [Plain MARC view] and [Switch to expanded MARC view] (if plain is active, v.v.) This makes the user more aware of the active view and existence of both views. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

This is my motivation for keeping the links subtle: I think this is a feature of interest to a very limited subset of OPAC users. I'm assuming most users of the OPAC are not interested the details of the MARC record. Of those that are interested in the MARC record, only a few will be interested in seeing the plain unformatted view. I don't think the two versions of the MARC view deserve equal weight in the interface. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
