Displaying 500 Serial Items in the staff client's detail.pl takes ~15+ seconds. This is awkward. Placing Item-level holds for the aforementioned Items is also very clumsy. This huge modification dabbles with front-end javascript Object-driven SPA-type approach to the solution utilizing the brand new Beta-REST API.
Created attachment 69845 [details] [review] Bug 15191 - Serials display improvements Index the serial numbering pattern's internal counters for each Serial so we can make super fast searches for individual Serial Numbers. TEST PLAN: See the Cucumber feature-file -You can use misc/maintenance/updateSerialSeq.pl to update all pattern indexes.
Rebased this Olli-Antti's (forgotten) patch on top of current master. Perhaps some tidying is required, but it is testable for those interested.
I am not sure what to do with this one... * The bug description is very general, just hinting on improvements. * There is no test plan. * Patch includes a lot of changes and would need major updating for current codebase and coding style/guidelines. * Original author and later author are no longer active in Koha development. I propose closing this as WONTFIX, but please reopen if you see a way we can still save some of this development.
