Created attachment 183816 [details] [review] Bug 40311: add new Authority Framework plugin for UNIMARC 676$a This Authority Framework plugin should be attached to UNIMARC authority field 676$a, which will then allow the cataloguer to lookup a single DDC (or a DDC range if 676$b is also filled in) in exchange for a Dewey Linked Data URL and Description that will be copied to subfields 676$R and 676$c, respectively. Test plan: 1) Go to Administration > Authority types, and for each authtype associate subfield 676$a with the unimarc_field_676a_authorities.pl plugin. 2) For each authtype, also add subfield $R (notice the uppercase 'r') under field 676 with a description that reads: "Real World Object URI" (repeatable, not mandatory, managed in tab 6, and is a URL). 3) Create a new authority, or edit an existing one. Click on the 'Tag editor' button on the far right of the 676$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 676$b has also been filled in. Monitor your browser's JavaScript console for warnings/errors (there shouldn't be any!). 4) 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. |
