Hi Jonathan,

I am not sure if I understand correctly, but I think translating the itemtype descriptions should be optional not mandatory, so not causing errors if the itemtype otherwise is set up correctly (having a 'default' description).

Hope that helps,

Katrin

Hi devs,

Since bug 17843 I get errors if the item type (items.itype or biblioitems.itemtype depending on the pref item_level_itypes) does not exist as an item type (table itemtypes, filled by Administration › Item types administration).

The error (Can't call method "translated_description" on an undefined value) appears because we call a method on an undefined value.

As this is a configuration issue (right?) I think we should add an alert from the updatedatabase.pl script, then a warning on the about page.
Would that be enough or should we handle the problematic case anyway (i.e. call the method only if the item type exists in DB)?

Cheers,

Jonathan
