Here's why I left the UI for the feature out for the time being: * Getting Koha to understand a new preference requires editing code, which will be harder than adding it to the .prefs file. Admittedly, the "Local Use" tab made a nice workflow for adding a new pref before sending it in, but see below: * The old system did the local use tab through a rather horrifying hack where it selected for every preference it didn't know about (SELECT from systempreferences where variable not in ('timeout', 'MIME', ad infinitum for every Koha syspref)). I could bring this system back, but it would be slow and ugly and the local use preferences wouldn't be searchable. * Because of the rather complex format of the .pref files, an editor/creator would have to be either complex or incomplete. Would it work to change this bug to "Add documentation for adding system preferences" (for new sysprefs editor) and delay a UI until 3.4 or .6? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
