Prior to this fix, the status fields had three 'off' values, NULL, "",
and 0. I've reduced it to two in the db, removing the option for NULL, and
setting the default value to 0, however, we need to verify that we don't ever
write out as "" as this needlessly complicates the indexing process,
critical for searching or limiting by status (e.g., availability). Also,
queries that attempt to write a NULL value to one of these fields will fail
(based on my tests).
This patch includes the following changes:
* Updated the database definition for notforloan, damaged, itemlost, and
wthdrawn in kohastructure.sql to forbid NULL and default to 0; MySQL
can't forbid other values (such as empty ""), so this has to be handled
at the application layer and REQUIRES further patching.
* Fixed the 'limit by availability' query node in Search.pm to use a
much less confusing definition of 'available'
* Added code to set values to 0 where they are NULL or empty ( "" ) for
notforloan, damaged, itemlost or wthdrawn in both the MARC and the items
table:
* Biblio.pm -> AddBiblioAndItems
* catalogue/updateitem.pl
* SEE NOTE BELOW, REQUIRES UPDATE TO THE REST OF KOHA'S ITEM MGT!
* Removed code in bulkmarcimport.pl that sets notforloan status depending
on item-level or bib-level itemtype -- that flag is designed to be set
only to override the notforloan setting for the item's (or bib's,
depending on the syspref) assigned itemtype (it doesn't need to override
to 'for loan', only to 'not for loan').
added $dbh->do("truncate zebraqueue"); when operation is 'delete'
* I updated some notes in catalogue/updateitem.pl as to why ModItem can't be
used -- we don't have _a_ place where we can change the item and marc :/
I've tested the following:
bulkmarcimport.pl..........................MARC/items OK
Staged Records Import......................NOT OK
updateitem.pl (via moredetail.pl)..........MARC/items OK
circulation.pl.............................NOT OK
returns.pl.................................NOT OK
addbiblio.pl...............................NOT OK
additem.pl.................................NOT OK
Basically, there isn't a single place to apply this patch that will
update both item data and MARC data in one place ... a future patch
needs to address this issue.
