[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Duplicate entry in authors.tt2 (is this bug 958954?)

[Tony Bandy]

Hi Kathy, folks,

Thanks much for the update-this helps!

Given this, has any other library with a mix of old and new records (pre-RDA and newer RDA) found a work-around for this in your authors.tt2 file?  If you have would you be willing to share your coding or any other information?

I've checked here, http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_designing_your_catalog.html, but didn't see anything about custom designs on the logic.

I'm thinking that adjusting the labels would be the quick fix, but our older records would not display too well....

Hi Tony,

I think this is a different issue. The issue here is that we previously added (Author) or other relator information in parentheses for pre-RDA records. Now that we have RDA records, the record is also now displaying the relator information from subfield e.

Hello everyone,

Quick check if you have a moment?  I'm working on TPAC cleanups for our consortium and am noticing title results that include duplicate author notations such as this:

Hillenbrand, Laura,<http://blanchester-training.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/results?query=Hillenbrand%20%20Laura;qtype=author> author. (Author). Herrmann, Edward, 1943-<http://blanchester-training.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/results?query=Herrmann%20%20Edward%201943;qtype=author> narrator. (Added Author)

Doing some digging around, this looks to me like Bug #958954 (see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/958954)

-------------------------

Has anyone encountered this?  Do you think this bug is the same thing?

I can fix this somewhat by going into the authors.tt2 file and removing the default label, but with that approach, if there is nothing in the subfield, then there will be zero notation after the author's name.


If I look at the details for the bug, Dan mentioned there was a fix released?


Thanks in advance for any thoughts you might have!
