Comment 1 Colin Campbell 2012-06-28 13:55:25 UTC
Actually the patch adds a barcode search. That is not necessarily what a given library calls its accession number
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2012-06-28 14:01:25 UTC
Hi Meenakshi, please remember to tick the "patch" checkbox when uploading a patch or use "git bz". This way the patch can be viewed corrrectly in Bugzilla.
I think the description should probably be changed to barcode, because that's what Koha's term for that field. Also we already have a barcode search option in the staff search.
Comment 3 Jared Camins-Esakov 2012-08-27 19:48:04 UTC
I don't think that "Accession no." is a good label for the search, since -- as Colin noted -- you're actually searching for barcodes. Also, I don't think this belongs in the masthead search for most libraries. Perhaps you would do better to add this option using jQuery?

Files Modified:
i)koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/includes/masthead.inc:

Test cases:
i)select Barcode in drop down list and enter a exist barcode, check the results.
ii)select Barcode in drop down list and enter a non-exist barcode, check the results.

Signed-off-by: Marc Veron <veron@veron.ch>

Works as expected.

Comment 7 Indranil Das Gupta 2015-02-23 00:35:40 UTC
The "Library Catalog" (default) search option will search quite successfully for an item's barcode (952$p). IMHO, this is redundant. Still, the same functionality can be achieved by a single line of jQuery placed into opacuserjs

$("select[name='idx']").append("<option value='bc'>Barcode</option>");

Setting the bug status to RESOLVED WONTFIX

that solution will not work for a multi-language Koha install

so, not resolved?

I imagine a lot of people don't think it should be added to the masthead search, so I suppose the other alternative would be for them to roll their release with translated templates.
Comment 10 Katrin Fischer 2015-02-23 05:53:38 UTC
Hi David, thx for thinking about translations. :)

Actually, you can do that with a little bit more jQuery, also checking for the selected language. I do that a lot to provide German and English when I add something to the OPAC.

I think I agree that we should not add another option to the masthead search, when it's available in advanced search.
