Copy statistical category values not visible in TPAC

[Tony Bandy]

In working with our version of Evergreen (2.4.2) I cannot seem to get the statistical category editor radio button for OPAC visibility to actually show up in the TPAC when using with item records. Not quite sure if this is a bug or has just not yet been implemented in the TPAC. All of the current documentation for the 2.4.X series (http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.4/_statistical_categories_editor.html) seems to indicate it should.

Hmm, it looks like copy statistical categories slipped through the cracks way back in the day when TPAC was being intended to replace the JSPAC. That documentation is referring to opac visibility options for presenting those in JSPAC and was probably forward ported. The editor still knows the difference, but the catalog (aka, TPAC) does not anymore.

I checked with http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:opac:template-toolkit:plan which was the original plan used when we were figuring out what was still missing from TPAC during its development for inclusion as the stock catalog, and I don't see any mention about the statistical categories.

Based on that, I'm going to mark this as a "wishlist" item as potential future new development.

I'm also changing the title of the bug since it's not a problem with the statistical category editor but more so that the copy statistical category values are not appearing in TPAC.

This bug is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1829418 which covers both item and patron stat cats not being visible in the OPAC.
