[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Plugin: Custom import mapping for MarcXML Agents, help

[Brian Hoffman]

Hi Carlos,

Yes, that’s actually something I overlooked. The way the importers are constructed, you can’t actually access the queue of records to import from the configuration code. So, I posted an example of a workaround (and some workarounds for a few other issues with the way importers are sub-classed):

https://github.com/quoideneuf/aspace_single_agent_marcxml/blob/master/backend/model/marcxml_accession_converter.rb <https://github.com/quoideneuf/aspace_single_agent_marcxml/blob/master/backend/model/marcxml_accession_converter.rb>
