This plugin allows one to get the description for an authorised value from within a template.
First, include the line '[% USE KohaAuthorisedValues %]' at the top of the template to enable the plugin.
To use, call KohaAuthorisedValues.GetByCode with the category of the authorised value, the code to look up, and optionally, the OPAC flag ( if set, it will return the OPAC description rather than the Intranet description ).
For example: [% KohaAuthorisedValues.GetByCode( 'LOST', item.itemlost, 1 ) %] will print the OPAC description for the LOST value stored in item.itemlost.
