http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8205 --- Comment #1 from Jared Camins-Esakov <jcamins@cpbibliography.com> --- Created attachment 10267 --> http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=10267&action=edit Bug 8205: Add OPACShowUnusedAuthorities syspref Rather than list authorities that are not actually used by a library, this commit introduces a new syspref: OPACShowUnusedAuthorities to enable libraries to hide unused authorities in the OPAC authority browser. To test: 1) Do a search in the OPAC authority browser that brings up multiple results, including some that are used in the bibliographic database and some that are not. 2) Observe that the results include both used and unused authorities. 3) Set OPACShowUnusedAuthorities to "Do not." 4) Repeat the same search as in step 1. 5) Observe that the results no longer include unused authorities. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

To test: 1) Do a search in the OPAC authority browser that brings up multiple results, including some that are used in the bibliographic database and some that are not. 2) Observe that the results include both used and unused authorities. 3) Set OPACShowUnusedAuthorities to "Do not." 4) Repeat the same search as in step 1. 5) Observe that the results no longer include unused authorities. Signed-off-by: Katrin Fischer <Katrin.Fischer.83@web.de> Preference is implemented cleanly and works like advertised. As a note: The unused authority records will be hidden from display, but the result list paging does not adjust for the hidden records. So the result pages will show more or less records total, depending on how many records are hidden. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Original behavior of system is kept, making this 'opt-in'. Greps through authority results for whether used > 0. Changes template display language to 'fuzzify' (my own word) the description when the syspref is turned off. Passed QA. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8205 --- Comment #5 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- I think for the staff interface a filter like you suggest would be nice, but for OPAC users authorities without biblios are not really useful. They might be duplicates or accidentally created stubs or just weird authorities from a big imported authority file. So I think for the OPAC a syspref is really a good way to deal with this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I think for the staff interface a filter like you suggest would be nice, but for OPAC users authorities without biblios are not really useful. The more I think of it the more I agree with you here.

They might be duplicates or accidentally created stubs or just weird authorities from a big imported authority file. So I think for the OPAC a syspref is really a good way to deal with this.

The good news for the FAUSP leader: doesn't it mean we don't need the syspref, we just should display authorities linked ? I can't see a use case where it's usefull to see unattached authorities... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I have been pondering this... but feel it's not ok to change existing behaviour - some libraries might like it. And maybe with hierarchical authorities it makes sense to see unused authorities too?

This was my reasoning, too. Also, with the integration of semantikoha data into authorities, one could imagine libraries using the "Browse authors" section as almost a biographical dictionary. Which would be very cool. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8205 --- Comment #11 from Ian Walls <koha.sekjal@gmail.com> --- Lots of other information and links to other places on the web could be put into an Authority record, even if no biblios are connected to it. It'd be much like a biblio with no attached items, but a valid URL (856 in MARC21) or Analytic entry. I recommend keeping a system preference to let the library pick whether to hide unlinked authorities or not. While many libraries may choose to hide unused authorities, I don't think we should assume that none would like to show them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
