z3950 search and import seems to works fine.
Let me explain how :
* a "search z3950" button is added in the addbiblio template.
* when clicked, a popup appears and z3950/search.pl is called
* z3950/search.pl calls addz3950search in the DB
* the z3950 daemon retrieve the records and stores them in z3950results AND in marc_breeding table.
* as long as there as searches pending, the popup auto refresh every 2 seconds, and says how many searches are pending.
* when the user clicks on a z3950 result => the parent popup is called with the requested biblio, and auto-filled
Note :
* character encoding support : (It's a nightmare...) In the z3950servers table, a "encoding" column has been added. You can put "UNIMARC" or "USMARC" in this column. Depending on this, the char_decode in C4::Biblio.pm replaces marc-char-encode by an iso 8859-1 encoding. Note that in the breeding import this value has been added too, for a better support.
* the marc_breeding and z3950* tables have been modified : they have an encoding column and the random z3950 number is stored too for convenience => it's the key I use to list only requested biblios in the popup.
Those fields doesn't have subfields.
In koha, we will use a specific "trick" : fields <10 will have a "virtual" subfield : "@".
Note it's only virtual : when rebuilding the MARC::Record, the koha API handle correctly "@" subfields => the resulting MARC record has a 00x field without subfield.
counting categoryitems is unreliable (Bug 199)
Make a note near the begining that the file has 4-space tabs, and add
Local variables at the end for Emacs people
Create output_html_with_http_headers function to contain the "print $query
->header(-type => guesstype...),..." call. This is in preparation for
non-HTML output (e.g., text/xml) and charset conversion before output in
the future.
Created C4/Interface/CGI/Template.pm to hold convenience functions specific
to the CGI interface using HTML::Template
Modified moremembers.pl to make the "sex" field localizable for languages
where M and F doesn't make sense
this script checks MARC parameters and try to detect tome errors in configuration.
currently checks 7 differents things.
The 1.3.3 MARC21 parameters fails miserabily to this test : 3 errors !!!
in ISO-8859-1.
A new C4::Charset module (tentative name) has been created to guess the
charset of a piece of HTML markup. The CGI programs will be modified to use
this module as they are encountered during translation.
