https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18472 --- Comment #1 from Marc Véron <veron@veron.ch> --- Created attachment 62525 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=62525&action=edit Bug 18472: Add system preference CustomOnlineHelpStaff to hide / select custom online help system Online help pages in staff client display a button 'Edit help' which is not wanted / needed for every installation. Introduce a system variable CustomOnlineHelpStaff to manage the online help system. In a first step it can select between 'None' and the existing 'File based help system' (selected by default). To test: - In staff client, open help on some pages, including help on main page - They have a button 'Edit help'. On main page help, yo see a text about 'Can I edit the online help?' - Apply patch, restart memcached and plack - Update database - In staff client, go to Administration > System preferences - Search syspref 'CustomOnlineHelpStaff' verify that 'File based' is selected by default (i.e. the legacy custom help system) - Verify that the help pages you visited look the same as before - Change syspref 'CustomOnlineHelpStaff' to 'None' - Visit the pages again, verify that 'Edit help' button and text about editing on main page help do no longer display. Note to QAers: Please have a close look at koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/help/mainpage.tt I had to include there [% USE Koha %] again, to trigger Koha.Preference('CustomOnlineHelpStaff').(It should trigger, because [% USE Koha %] is already included help-top.inc) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

...

I personally do not think it is a good idea, I'd like to get other QAers point of view.

At first glance, I would think so too. But I did not study all code changes.

Marc: Could you convince the QA team why this is a good idea? What is the impact on the news module itself?

Need: - Having a user editable, page aware help system is a long outstanding need. First time I was asked for goes back to 2012. - We have libraries interested in Koha who ask for in their requirements. - Writing a brand new help module would take a lot of time. And who would fund it? User: - The news system works very well and libraries are used to use it. The help additons introduced in Bug 18483 enhances the news system to host custom help as well. - From a user standpoint it is easy to use, you can add whatever you want / need as help. All the benefits of the news system can be used. Custom help items can easyly be added / edited. - It can turned on and off (combined with the existing file based help system or 'standalone'). This Bug 18472 is the basis for turning on and off and/or add additional help systems. - There is no change in behavior of news and file based help system if turned off (however this patch allows to turn off the edit function of the existing file based help system). Impact: - In Bug 18483, I paid great attention to have a minimal impact on existing code. No changes in .pm files were needed. - There is a small database change to have a field to host the page key if a news item is used as help item. Things to come: - Since the news system works for both staff client and OPAC it will be easy to implement the editable help for OPAC as well (Bug 18515) So I kindly ask for Bug 18472 and Bug 18483 to make part of Koha.
