Deprecated System Preferences
Hello all, There is a discussion going on on this bug report: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3756 regarding deprecated preferences and the fact that they still show in Koha. I want to submit a patch (as is suggested) to remove these preferences, but I need confirmation that they are in fact deprecated. Below is the list of preferences can you all chip in and tell me which are really deprecated so that I don't delete something important? Some of these I think we do need but never made it to the new sys prefs interface ... others I remember reading were deprecated. acquisitions AnonymousPatron AutoEmailPrimaryAddress BakerTaylorPassword BranchTransferLimitsType defaultSortOrder FrameworksLoaded holdCancelLength ILS-DI:AuthorizedIPs kohaspsuggest libraryAddress marc MIME OAI-PMH:Set OAI-PMH:Subset OpacCloud OPACdefaultSortOrder OPACDisplayExtendedSubInfo OPACNoResultsFound OPACRerunSearch OPACSubscriptionDisplay OrderPdfTemplate pdfformat PINESISBN printcirculationslips RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight sortbynonfiling SyndeticsCoverImageSize TemplateEncoding Version z3950AuthorAuthFields Thanks a ton, Nicole C.

I recognize a fair number of these from the sysprefs rewrite. I checked the source and omitted them, and left a comment in the source. Anything mentioned as deprecated or broken in the comments at the top of the .pref files is confirmed not to do anything as of a few months ago. 2010/7/26, Nicole Engard <nengard@gmail.com>:

OPACNoResultsFound
If this is not in use, it should be, or something like it. I know lots of
libraries who'd like to have a little more control over what is displayed when no results are found in the OPAC (like links to ILL, suggestions, their reference department, other places to search, etc.)
RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight
This is used by misc/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl and nowhere else, same as StaticHoldsQueueWeight. We should probably hang on to both of these until a top-down rebuild of the Holds system can be planned and assessed. Version needs to be kept in the database somewhere for upgrade purposes, but it should be read-only in the staff interface, perhaps in the About section, where the Koha version (for code) is kept. It'd be nice to be able to quickly compare the two numbers to make sure they're in sync. It's possible for the database to get ahead of the codebase, which can create all kinds of unpredictable craziness.
