[Koha-devel] home or holding branch behavior

[Fridolyn SOMERS]

Hie,

I open a mail about home or holding branch behavior.

In* 3.2.0* :

If xslt if ON for OPAC display :
 - Search results page displays the *home branch* of items
 - Details page (Normal view) displays the *holding branch* of items

If xslt if OFF for OPAC display :
 - Search results page displays the *home or holding branch* of items
depending on *HomeOrHoldingBranch* syspref
 - Details page (Normal view) displays the *holding branch* of items

This is a odd behaviour.
In my opinion :

First, branch display in OPAC should be independent of
*HomeOrHoldingBranch*syspref, which manages circulation.

Second, branch type should be the same in :

   - both results and details pages
   - query search limit on branch => defined in Zebra configuration :
   ccl.properties ("branch homebranch" by default).
   - branch facet => defined in Koha.pm (hard-coded 995$b)

The default branch type seems then to be the *home* one.
In this case, details page should display *home* branch (or at least both).

But the branch displayed in OPAC should help the user where to find the book
non ?
In this case, the default branch type should be the *holding* on.

Best regards,

*PS :*
