Should be a list, not a single choice. If I have meaningful data in both itemtype and collection, I should be able to limit on both. Ryan On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 2:14 PM, Joshua Ferraro <jmf@liblime.com> wrote:
Hi all,
It seems like every library has a different definition of what they want to display as 'Type' limits in the advanced search area. The API is currently flexible to support any defined indexes, but customizing this beyond the default itemtypes currently requires editing of the advsearch.tmpl templates -- not horrible, but still kinda annoying.
I propose a new syspref that allows the user to specify either 'itemtypes' (default) or any codes from authorised_values to be the limits in place of itemtypes (so for example, ccode).
This would allow every library to define their own authorised-values, and then use those as search limits in advsearch.tmpl, without any template modifications. It's a fairly trivial addition, and if we default to itemtypes, won't affect any existing Koha installations.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
