Description David Cook 2022-07-13 06:37:25 UTC
While the MARC import tools are in the "Tools" module, they're strongly related to the Cataloging module.

I think it would be good to have links from the Cataloging module page to the MARC import tools.

We can wrap them in the same permissions that are used on tools-home.pl

I have been wondering if Cataloging should have something similar to CircSideBar in Ciruclation but with useful links for cataloging, controlled by a system pref like CatalogingSideBar.

Martin and I just discussed this - adding him CC.

Haha, funny how things come around.

Yes, I would love to see cataloguing have more of a 'home page' than it does now, more akin to the  Circulation and Tools modules.. it would improve consistency and help us to better organise Koha as a more coherent whole.

As for the sidebar, I was surprised the other day to find such an include did in fact already exist but wasn't being used anywhere.. I reinstated it I think.. lete dig out the bug.

See bug 31162 for an initial attempt at adding a cataloguing homepage :).

I decided to do it on its own bug so we can track the idea of a cataloguing sidebar and cataloguing homepage as distinct features.. and as my homepage design adds more than just the marc import tools.
