Re: [VuFind-General] SirsiDynix

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Just took the time to do a little research to try to get a handle on all this... and now I have more questions than answers.  Ahh, the wonderful world of ILS evolution.  I'm guessing that we've got the current SirsiDynix name since the driver works for both Horizon and Symphony.  Is this true?  Can we continue to use the same driver for both systems, or are they too divergent to support consistent code once we get into adding more advanced features?  Perhaps one solution here, assuming a lot of commonality but some differences, could be to create separate Horizon and Symphony drivers that extend the base SirsiDynix class.
