[Koha-devel] "ISBD" view in OPAC

[Paul POULAIN]

Hi,

in the CVS, in OPAC, a biblio can be seen in 3 formats :
* standard format (as previously)
* MARC format (almost like in librarian interface in 2.0.0)
* "ISDB" format. The ISBD format is done through a systempreference, so 
each library can define it's own "ISBD". Some french librarians will 
take care of the UNIMARC ISBD format, but if MARC21 libraries want a 
MARC21 ISBD, someone must write the systempref.
The systempref variable has the following format :
* any field is coded like this : [xxxFFFSyyy] where xxx are up to 3 
digits BEFORE the field, FFF the field number, S the subfield code, yyy 
up to 3 digits AFTER the field.
* things outside [] are kept as is (including HTML)
* repeatable fields are manages.
* for security reason you can't put template variable (otherwise 
something like <!-- TMPL_VAR name="password" --> could give you the DB 
password ;-)

Example :
[200a /][200f - ][(200g] in UNIMARC will give :
==================
Title /Author - (copyrightdate)
==================

I agree it's now a 100% ISBD format (because separators after and 
between repeted fields are not managed exactly like in this syntax), but 
it's OK for most cases
