Screenshot shows acq date in MARC details.

Date formats in catalogue > MARC > items are not formatted according to sys pref dateformat.

Tested with Koha version 3.01.00.145 and different settings for dateformat.
Comment 1 Owen Leonard 2010-08-09 19:44:53 UTC
This is true of the OPAC as well.

This is definitely not a template issue: The table of items is built very generically: 

<!-- TMPL_LOOP NAME="item_loop" -->
  <tr>
    <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="item_value" -->
  </tr>
<!-- /TMPL_LOOP -->

And the script doesn't appear to have any means of knowing whether the data it's putting into that "item_loop" is a date or not. Wouldn't the script have to know which subfields contained dates?

Bug 5103: Format dates in MARC detail using dateformat syspref

This patch fixes the formatting of dates on the following pages:
- catalogue/MARCdetail.pl (staff)
- cataloguing/additem.pl (staff)
- opac-MARCdetail.pl (opac)

To test:
1) Ensure that the following fields are visible in the opac, intranet
and editor. You may need to edit the subfields in your default
bibliographic framework
952$d date accessioned
952$q date due/on loan
952$r date last seen
952$s date last borrowed
952$w replacement price date

Also ensure you have dateformat system preference set

2) Go to cataloguing/additem.pl for a biblio. Fill in the fields above
if required. Save
3) Remain on cataloguing/additem.pl. Notice the items table at the top
of the page, the dates are in the generic yyyy-mm-dd format
4) Go to catalogue/MARCdetail.pl for that biblio. Notice dates in wrong
format
5) View this biblio in the opac opac-MARCdetail.pl. Scroll to bottom to
items table. Notice dates in wrong format.
6) Apply patch, restart memcached and plack and refresh pages
7) Dates should now be formatted according to dateformat preference
8) Confirm that changing the preference changes the format of the dates

The same if-block is repeated three times, in different files. This is very fragile and error prone. Should create a sub in one place (Koha::DateUtils maybe), and just call that instead.
Comment 5 Katrin Fischer 2020-02-29 19:52:59 UTC
Hi Aleisha,

I really love that you have taken on these old bugs!

Sadly, we got a UNIMARC vs MARC21 issue here - the mappings with UNIMARC are usually quite different. I think the best would be to look up the subfield codes with the known date columns we have in the items table instead of hardcoding the subfields - this way the MARC flavour and people having mapped things differently won't matter and it will always work.

As long as the code reads easily I am not that worried about repeating it at the moment, and it could be something to improve later on.
