Comment 2 for bug 963341

Removing Mike from the bug because I am certain he is not working on this.

Dan Wells, can I get you to remind me (and everyone) to what extent the TPAC can currently display combinations of "controlled" and "MFHD-based" serials holdings based on the value of the summary_method column of a serial.subscription row related to the bib record being displayed?

I know we've talked before about it, but I need the refresher I'm afraid. What do we have and what's the gap between that and what we want?

Also, I'd appreciate your opinion on whether the following should just be an addendum to this bug report or is a separate bug. The OU setting 'opac.fully_compressed_serial_holdings' is what makes the OPAC try to render expanded individual holdings in the OPAC's "Issues held" tab. A check for this setting in the TPAC Perl layer prevents even retrieving MFHD summaries when the setting is true, which not only prevents their display (intended, at the time the setting was invented anyway) but prevents the MFHD records from being edited or deleted through the Actions for this Record menu in the staff client.

I'm inclined to think this last issue needs an independent bugfix, but then again I could see it in the context of broader work to show both kinds of holdings better. Thanks a ton for any input.
