Created attachment 183815 [details] [review] Bug 40310: add new Authority Framework plugin for MARC21 083$a This Authority Framework plugin should be attached to MARC21 authority subfield 083$a, which will then allow the cataloguer to lookup a single DDC (or a DDC range if 083$b is also filled in) in exchange for a Dewey Linked Data URL and Description that will be copied to subfields 083$1 and 083$c, respectively. Test plan: 1) Go to Administration > Authority types, and for each authtype associate subfield 083$a with the marc21_field_083a_authorities.pl plugin. 2) Create a new authority, or edit an existing one. Click on the 'Tag editor' button on the far right of the 083$a subfield. Experiment with the behaviour of the plugin when no DDC has been filled in, or when an erroneous DDC has been filled in, or when 083$b has also been filled in. Monitor your browser's JavaScript console for warnings/errors (there shouldn't be any!). 3) Experiment with changing the values of the related System Preferences (found under the 'OCLC Dewey Linked Data API' heading) and seeing how it affects the behaviour of the plugin launcher. |
