Comment 2 for bug 957466

I recently fixed the edit date Vandelay overlay issue for our organization (running 2.4.5) by slightly tweaking the database function vandelay.overlay_bib_record. It will add the current time to the bilbio.record_entry.edit_date field whenever an overlay occurs.

It would probably be nice to make this controlled by a library setting, but I don't currently know how to do that :)

I am attaching the full SQL to replace the function, but the relevant changes are :

 ELSE
            UPDATE biblio.record_entry SET edit_date = NOW() WHERE id = eg_id;
