"Add item" interface in CVS
Hi, in the new MARC-based acquisition interface, where do I enter the book title and related things? I don't see tags 100/245 (MARC21) etc. in the MARC editor, and I can't find it in the "items" screen either. (It has fields for "homebranch", "barcode", "dateaccessioned", "notforloan", "Koha item number", and "Koha notes" only.) I guess I don't understand how the MARC editor works; can anyone help me? :-) The other thing might be a bug: when I finally get to items and press Add item, I get an item record. Then it gets assigned a Koha item number (e.g., 2245). If I select the item, Modify it, and press Modify item, the screen shows the item number reduplicated (e.g., 2245 becomes 22452245). If I modify it again the item number gets reduplicated again. I find this strange. Regards, -- Ambrose Li <a.c.li@ieee.org>

It's not a bug it's a feature :-) The MARC interface is completly driven by the parameter table. If you go to Parameters / marc tag structure / 100 (or 245) you'll see that all the 245 subfields are IGNORED (tab -1). So, no 245 subfields appears anywhere. Change this (put them in tab 0, or 1, or what you want), and... tada... title appears ! take a look at : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/wiki/index.php?page=UserDoc

If I select the item, Modify it, and press Modify item, the screen shows the item number reduplicated (e.g., 2245 becomes 22452245). If I modify it again the item number gets reduplicated again.

I'll look at this. seems to be a true bug. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

After some searches... It's not a bug in koha, it's a bug in the MARC21 parameters table. go to parameters / MARC parameters table / tag 995 / subfield / The "item.itemnum" field is in the tab number 10. It's WRONG => itemnum is auto-managed by koha. the mapping (995$9) is right, but it MUST be in tab -1 Change this, it should be better (however, your previously entered datas may be a little corrupted) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
