Re: [VuFind-General] Restful-API and duedates?

[Katharina W. <wol...@fh...>]

Hi again,

after finally getting down to testing Alan Rykhus' Aleph-driver, I'm proud to
announce that after adding a few lines of my own to said driver ;-) we now have
red and green availability-information in our holdings-tab as you can take a
look at here:

http://194.94.3.187/vufind/Record/000607106

I've also managed to deny holdability for items that are on order by the
acquisition-department and also found a way to hide the whole duedate-related
info in the same tab:

http://194.94.3.187/vufind/Record/000615560

:-D :-D :-D

But with those items, there's another problem I'm not sure how to tackle:

the information that an item is on order by the acquisition-department is
supplied by our Aleph-Server in German ("Bestellt") and as I could not find any
of these terms in the English-language-file "acq" "on order" "ordered", I wonder
if there is a phrase/word for "on order by the acquisition-department" in vufind
and what that is.

If I have the English equivalent for our German "Bestellt", I'll just tranlate
the German term into English inside the Driver and then add the re-tranlation to
the German-language-file... Or is there a more elegant way to do this?

I'm also not sure, whether my additions to the driver

1.
could not be put somewhere else to get those language-dependent if-clauses out
of the driver itself?

2.
could be handle much more elegantly anyway?

I'm well aware that my PHP-knowledge is that of an advanced beginner at best,
but as I know there are people with much better grabs on PHP reading this list,
I take the liberty to add my version of the driver to this mail in the hope
those two questions will be answered. ;-)
