[Bug 26662] New: Authority linking doesn't work with custom authority type
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26662 Bug ID: 26662 Summary: Authority linking doesn't work with custom authority type Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Authority data support Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: dcook@prosentient.com.au QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org If you're using custom authority types, automatic linking via C4::Biblio::LinkBibHeadingsToAuthorities will never work. It's because C4::Heading::MARC21 has a hard-coded mapping of bib fields to authority types (instead of consulting the MARC bibliographic framework). This means if you're using "CORPO_NAME_AWSEOME" instead of "CORPO_NAME" for your authorities, you'll never get an automated match, since C4::Heading::_search (used ultimately by C4::Linker::Default) uses the hard-coded auth_type from C4::Heading::MARC21. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26662 --- Comment #1 from David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> --- I suppose that a fix could be done by looking up the framework thesaurus in C4::Heading::new_from_field and overriding the default hard-coded auth_type... (At a glance, LinkBibHeadingsToAuthorities seems to be used whether or not a framework thesaurus has even been defined. That's also... special... but that's a different issue for another day.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
