staffClientBaseURL and OPACBaseURL are unused in most of the code - there was a
bug that requested for them to be removed, but new features have been added
that use them.  In the chat below Lupin expresses that these preferences should
be used for all links throughout the system.


CHAT LOG:

 <|Lupin|> nengard: I wante d to tellyou about two system preferences
[12:59]  <nengard> k
[12:59]  <|Lupin|> nengard: just checking heir names...
[13:00]  <|Lupin|> nengard: staffClientBaseURL and OPACBaseURL
[13:00]  <nengard> yep - they are for the url to your staff client and your
OPAC
[13:00]  <|Lupin|> nengard: I think the manuals document them as if they work,
but as far as I know they actually do _not_ work so far.
[13:00]  <ricardo> OK... I solved that bug (infinite loop)... and I'm back to
the old bug (first page after staff client appears in English... Oh well. I'll
leave for today. I think I'll be back here in 4 hours or so.)
[13:00]  <nengard> both need http:// in front of them
[13:00]  <nengard> Lupin - they weren't used at all - until I submitted some
patches that do use them
[13:01]  <nengard> so theyll be used in 3.2
[13:01]  <|Lupin|> nengard: really !?
[13:01]  <nengard> :) yup
[13:01]  <|Lupin|> nengard: and they are used consistently everywhere in KOha
now ?
[13:01]  <nengard> no - not that i know of - but i don't think they're required
everywhere - are they?
[13:01]  <|Lupin|> nengard: that's really great !! I missed this feature so
much !!
[13:02]  <nengard> Like I said - I know that they work for the features I wrote
-but I did not fix them globally
[13:02]  <|Lupin|> nengard: well... which links according to you shold not take
them into account ?
[13:02]  <nengard> Lupin - no clue :) hehe - just know that the system seems to
work a-ok without them set
[13:03]  <nengard> would need a developer's input on this
[13:03]  <|Lupin|> nengard: yeah so they do not work everywhere... according to
me every url generated topoint to the OPAC shold take the OPAC one into
account, same for the intranet
13:04]  <|Lupin|> nengard: what I mean is that by reading the manual it's what
I understood -- that all the OPAC-related urls use th opac sysperf and the same
for intranet related urls and the intranet syspref. And then I realized it was
not the case and was frustrated.
[13:05]  <nengard> Ahhh - okay - Lupin I'll update the description to make it
clear that it's not used for everything at this time
[13:06]  <|Lupin|> nengard: /me disappointed :)
[13:06]  <nengard> Lupin - sorry :( 
[13:06]  <nengard> is there a bug for it?
[13:06]  <|Lupin|> nengard: actually the wonderfur thing would be to patch KOha
so that they are used everywhere... but I realsie it's a logt of job and don't
have the time myself to do it
[13:07]  <|Lupin|> nengard: yeah, but I can't remember the number right now...
it was suggested to get rid of the sysprefs, but I added a comemnt to explain
why it was not a good idea IMO
[13:11]  <nengard> I don't know enough about Koha programming to fix it all
over on my own :( but I do think we should have a new bug report to have it
fixed if you think it needs to be done
[13:12]  <|Lupin|> 've found it
[13:12]  <|Lupin|> it's bug 2152
[13:13]  <nengard> i think we need a new bug though
[13:13]  <nengard> one that says instead of removing them we need to make the
work everywhere
[13:15]  <|Lupin|> yeah that sounds good to me...
[13:15]  <|Lupin|> too bad nobody replied to the comment I did
[13:15]  <|Lupin|> would you accept to open that new bug for me please ?
[13:16]  <|Lupin|> I'm sorry, but I'm a bit reluctant to use the web interface.
it is accessible but still much ime-consuming for me to go over the screen and
read everything
[13:16]  <nengard> Why don't you open it and just CC me on it nengard at gmail.com
[13:16]  <nengard> oh
[13:16]  <nengard> what is your email on there then so i can CC you?
[13:18]  <|Lupin|> sebstien.hinderer at snv.jussieu.fr
[13:18]  <|Lupin|> but
[13:18]  <|Lupin|> don't need to include me in the Cc
[13:18]  <|Lupin|> I'm subscribed to koha-bugs
[13:18]  <|Lupin|> and thanks a lot for your understanding
[13:19]  <|Lupin|> fixing this is on my TODOLIST
