http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1131 ------- Comment #5 from paul.poulain@free.fr 2007-10-26 05:59 ------- kados : let me explain something about unimarc : In unimarc authors is stored in 200$f AND in 700$a / 710$a additionnal authors being in 701, 702, 711, 712 (x0x => physical, x1x => non physical author) 200$f is supposed to have the author AS SPELLED on the book 700 is supposed to have the authors as spelled in authorities entries. everybody uses 200$f. Those wanting a more simpler UNIMARC uses only that. biblio.author is mapped to 200$f, as 700 is not always filled (and it is NOT filled if the main author is in 710 ! Thus, ordering authors is quite complex. And using 200$f to sort is, from far, the best solution ! Should we do that through a plugin or a systempref ? I change my mind & think hdl is right: the best place is inside the code, before showing anything to the library (and thus being independant of any framework configuration) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
