Hi
Today I wrote:
Environment: Debian GNU/Linux 8 with Koha 16.11.04 (package installation)
Our Koha catalogue contains MARC field 385 $a with content e. g. "KG",
linked to category "Lesekategorie" containing authorized values for the
target audience, e. g. value "KG" (description for staff client and OPAC
is: "Kindergarten"). Instead of "KG" the OPAC shows "Kindergarten" as
expected.
Now I have recently added a new facet for MARC field 385 $a and the
facet does show - only instead of the description ("Kindergarten"), the
facet shows the authorized value "KG". How can it be achieved to show
the description in the facet?
As I see it is actually possible to show the description because the
authorized values for standard category "LOC" are properly showing the
descriptions. I tried to find out how this works in file
"opac-facets.inc" but without success. Can anyone please give me a hint?
For the record:
Jens Weber found the following code in file
"/usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm":
# also, if it's a location code, use the name instead of the code
if ( $link_value =~ /location/ ) {
# TODO Retrieve all authorised values at once, instead of 1 query per
entry
my $av = Koha::AuthorisedValues->search({ category => 'LOC',
authorised_value => $one_facet });
$facet_label_value = $av->count ? $av->next->opac_description : '';
}
I copied this section and adapted it as follows:
# also, if it's a lesekategorie code, use the name instead of the code
if ( $link_value =~ /lesekategorie/ ) {
my $av = Koha::AuthorisedValues->search({ category =>
'Lesekategorie', authorised_value => $one_facet });
$facet_label_value = $av->count ? $av->next->opac_description : '';
}
After a restart of Koha (including Plack) now the created facet actually
shows the description ("Kindergarten") instead of the authorized value
"KG". Great!
Of course this change will have to be reconfigured with every update but
I guess it makes no sense to include this in the official Koha code...
Best wishes: Michael
