Hi all,
Patch 5636 should be next in passing qa now, but these questions remained open:
Style question to the community: should core pages in the staff client (like
tools/cleanborrowers.pl) have both a templated page in the staff client AND a command-line presence, or should the commandline tool be a separate script in misc/?
At this time, there doesn't seem to be any precedent for inclusion in the core script. Before passing this patch for QA, I'd like to get some feedback, as this may both open doors for us, as well as create additional work to create consistency of implementation for existing jobs.
Please respond if you want to share your opinion on this subject.
I think functionality should be included in C4 or Koha, and exposed by both command-line tool and templated front-ends. Also, any command-line tool should honour system preferences by default, and the user be warned if using parameters others than default. Regards To+
