Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 00:50:28 UTC


---- Reported by oleonard@myacpl.org 2008-07-21 06:33:47 ----

When opac-detail.pl displays a serial record, the template is told to display two additional columns in the "Holdings" table: "Serial Data," and "Published." Inside the ITEM_RESULTS loop:

<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="serial" --><td><!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="serialseq" --> </td>
<td><!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="publisheddate" --> </td><!-- /TMPL_IF -->

"serial" never evaluates as true even for serial records. The result is that the "status" data displays under "Serial Data" because the columns are shifted to the left. Even if you take out the check for "serial," "serialseq" and "publisheddate" do not display.

So, two problems:

1. Come up with a switch inside ITEM_RESULTS that will accurately check for a serial record.
2. Populate "serialseq" and "publisheddate" with the correct values.

This might be separate bug, but it is definitely related to this bug.  The serial holdings columns - "Serial Data" and "Published" are showing up in inappropriate records in our OPAC details display.
Any records that are imported into our catalog which are part of a series have these empty columns in their details.

For example the book "Bloody Jack" 1st in the series "A Bloody Jack Adventure" has empty "Serial Data" and "Published" columns in its details page in our OPAC.

I will try to attach a Word doc with a screen shot, but I may or may not be successful. :)

Screenshot of the problem

This bug still applies to HEAD, pre-3.2. In this example screenshot you see a monograph record which contains a 440a and a 440v. The presence of these tags triggers the display of columns only relevant to serials. Given that true serial records will have a "Subscriptions" tab to show "Serial Data," it looks like these columns should be removed altogether from the Holdings table.

This screenshot shows the same record with the 440 tag removed just to show that the 440 tag is what triggers the error.

Proposed fix

Removing markup to display serial data in the holdings table. This functionality (if it worked) would seem to duplicate the data displayed under the 'Subscriptions' tab
