http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7487 Bug #: 7487 Summary: biblioitems.publicationdate is unpopulated in default configuration Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging AssignedTo: gmcharlt@gmail.com ReportedBy: ruth@bywatersolutions.com QAContact: koha.sekjal@gmail.com In Comment 4 of Bug 6402, Owen notes that biblioitems.publicationyear is not populated in the default MARC mapping, so the sort issue described in that bug is not exactly solved. The same problem obtains in OPAC searching; sort-by-year will give seemingly-random results, as it's using biblioitems.publicationyear as the sort field. C4::Biblio::TransferMarcToKoha will deal with publicationyear in the same manner as it deals with biblio.copyrightdate, finding the first numeric date and using that, but that requires that the field be mapped from some MARC tag. Therefore, this is purely a default-configuration problem. I suggest as a default config that 260$c be used for MARC21 configs. If someone will tell me what to use for UNIMARC, I'll put both in a patch to the default database creation routines. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
