Re: [Koha-devel] items.ccode or items.itype ?

[Ryan Higgins]

Yes, sorry for the flip-flop.  I had seen that `itype` was removed from items table in
updatedatabase, so reinterpreted 'ccode' as 'circ code'.  As it turns out, we really need
to have two means of classification at the item level, and itype was still defined in the framework.  
So items.itype is intended to be mapped to itemtypes.
biblioitems.itemtype still exists, because completely moving itemtype
to the item level seemed to likely to introduce bugs.   With the system preference 
'item-level_itypes' ON, biblioitems.itemtype has a couple of display functions, and should
be set.  A plugin should populate items.itype from biblioitems.itemtype, giving a 'default' 
value.

items.ccode
 is intended as 'Collection Code', linked to an authorised_value.

Hello world (and mainly liblimers)

kados told me on the chat last week that the item-level circulation
stuff relied on items.ccode field.

I see this morning commits from Ryan, that speak of "further mods to
change from ccode to itype at item-level itypes"

Does it mean ccode won't be used anymore and the field name is in fact
items.itype ?

Is there something i've missed here ?
