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.

Engard <nengard@gmail.com> 2009-11-03 19:23:42 --- While I understand this - it's a big issue - particularly to our customers since they use Koha as a CMS and follow this tutorial: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:documentation:tutorials:creatingcmspages In short - they need the power to add new pages (aka preferences) via the UI - so I say we can change the bug title - but not wait until 3.4 since it's not a new feature - it was a feature in 3.0 that is no longer there :( -- 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.

Would be only one shot or once in a while (when updating database) this command line script would take all the sysprefs in YAML and see whether they are present in database, and the other way round. It would report the ones missing. And then could display them so that it would be easy to INSERT into database OR to add into yaml files. (It is what has been done on univ_lyon3 branch of git.biblibre.com for sysprefs in the database) -- 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.

Engard <nengard@gmail.com> 2010-02-07 15:57:12 --- This is something we need in 3.2 because there are libraries that have set up custom pages using the local use preferences and upgrading to 3.2 might make it so that they can no longer manage these pages ... -- 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.
