For instance, nothing is deleted in MARC-DB. And you can't delete from MARC view of the biblio. That's trully a problem :-)
Why? Should deleting unattached MARC be a job for a maintenance script and not something that the librarian interface does?
Could someone tell me a bit more about MARC*, OLD* and NEW* functions? I thought OLD* was non-MARC and NEW* was MARC, but that doesn't explain MARC*.
It's written at the beginning of Biblio.pm : * 4 types of subs : MARC*, OLD*, NEW* and not(MARC,OLD,NEW)* : - not(MARC,OLD,NEW) => comes from 1.2 koha. They are just a wrapper to OLD* then MARC* - NEW* => full MARC api => call MARC* then OLD* - MARC* => the real MARC stuff. Deals ONLY WITH MARC-DB - OLD* => the real non-MARC stuff. Deals ONLY WITH NON MARC-DB all OLD* subs contains a copy/paste from the catalogue.pm in 1.2 (except for the "OLD" that has been added) all non(MARC,OLD,NEW) subs comes from 1.2 between MARC and OLD calls, I use a MARCkoha2marc or a MARCmarc2koha sub that transforms a non-marc biblio into it's MARC form (or the opposite) The koha2marc & marc2koha exists for biblios & items.
