--- Comment #46 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
Maybe it's worth teasing apart what needs to happen here...

Architecture:
1) Add nonpublicnote to the items and deleteditems tables for all installs
using updatebase.pl (it shouldn't matter if the column is in the items table
for old installs). 
2) Change kohastructure and default framework SQL so that new installs map
952$x (and the other flavour equivalents) to the nonpublicnote DB column.

Display (Show on):
1) detail page
2) moredetail page
3) circulation pages
4) returns pages
5) serial collections pages?


Utilities:
1) Iterate through all frameworks
-> If a mapping for item Non-public note is found, copy the data into the
nonpublicnote column. 
-> If no mapping is found, use the subfield in the framework (probably X) to
interrogate the more_subfield_xml for an element with that subfield, and copy
that data into the publicnote column.
2) Set the mapping for all frameworks for Non-public note to nonpublicnote DB
column.

Concerns:

When iterating through the frameworks, we need to have a way of defining the
entry for which we're looking. I don't think it's enough to look for the string
"Non-public note" as that might be changed (or translated?).

Is it enough to look for the 952$x? This probably only applies to MARC21 so
we'll need to take into account the other marc tags used for the other MARC
flavours.

It might be an idea to make the utility interactive to make sure that the 952$x
(or whatever) is the right framework entry to be analyzing...although if the
script is interactive, it might make it more difficult for some people to do
upgrades.

Thoughts anyone?
