Re: [Koha] How to show description of authorized value in facet? SOLVED
Hi Marc Thanks for sharing your findings about resolving an authorised value while using MARC field 385 $a (Audience term) as a facet. As you write, such code changes will have to be maintained with every update. Since there are monthly releases, including bug fixes and sometimes security fixes, maintaining such code can be a bit cumbersome. Yes indeed - and there may be many other adaptions in other files, depending on the needs of the library. In fact I think therefore many libraries do not really install the monthly updates - sometimes they even contain new bugs (so oldstable is preferred to stable), also it is most of the time very unclear if the publicly undocumented "security fixes" are relevant for the actual environment. Reading this list I often see some libraries which are years back with their versions for which of course no monthly updates exist at all. IMO it would be a good idea to open a Bug (enhancement) in https://bugs.koha-community.org That would be a good starting point to have a more generic solution inside the Koha code base. Feel free to open such a bug report if you see a chance to get it into the code. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for sharing your findings about resolving an authorised value
while using MARC field 385 $a (Audience term) as a facet.
As you write, such code changes will have to be maintained with every
update. Since there are monthly releases, including bug fixes and
sometimes security fixes, maintaining such code can be a bit cumbersome.
IMO it would be a good idea to open a Bug (enhancement) in
https://bugs.koha-community.org
That would be a good starting point to have a more generic solution
inside the Koha code base.
Kind regards

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...

[Koha] How to show description of authorized value in facet?
Hi
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?
