Dear Elaine,

I think I figured out.

I've explicitly found out that "Currently Koha doesn't support 774 fields for display." See: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Analytics

However, it should amount to changing the XSLT stylesheet for displaying OPAC details. This is defined in Koha system's preference variable: OPACXSLTResultsDisplay, which is normally set to "default".

I gather that Koha uses

/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl

as its default XSL stylesheet for displaying OPAC details of a record ("Normal" view). I could indeed locate the section in that file dealing with a 773 MARC datafield, if present, and it shouldn't be too difficult to clone that section for 774 datafields.

This would only solve the "display" part of the cross-links issue, as the "easy" procedure to add analytics (773 datafield) to a constituent item would not automatically add analytics (774 datafield) to the corresponding host item. That should be presently done manually, as you said.

Many thanks and best regards,

Giuseppe.

The 774 links don't (from parent/host to child/constituent part) do not work
in the OPAC, (or staff interface). In fact, they won't even display, even
with the subfield settings set to display in OPAC and staff interface.

In our case, this doesn't matter too much because the link from constituent
part to host is more important - at least for our users.  The host record
gives information on location and availability, etc. and has a 520 field to
list all the constituent parts. But it would be nice if the 774 fields
worked as they should.

That's ok, but does it result in cross-links to the constituent parts
in the host item's OPAC?

Many thanks!

Giuseppe.
