[Koha-devel] [Koha-patches] [PATCH] Removed RSS Option from UI

[John Beppu]

This is probably not what you think it is.  It's not like we're removing RSS
feeds from the entire system.  We're actually just removing UI elements for
a messaging system feature that never even existed.

To clarify what happened, please run this query on your system:

SELECT * FROM message_transport_types;

All you should see is email and sms.  These represent the ways the messaging
system can send out messages.

However, in the spec that I had to work with, the UI mockup contained an
option for an rss transport type that had not existed before.  At first, I
thought I'd add go ahead and add another transport type so that I could
implement what I saw in the mockup.  But later on, when I realized that
messaging system didn't have any support for this transport mechanism, I
decided that it was pointless to pretend that it did, so I got rid of it.

This was also my first encounter with the messaging system, and I was trying
to figure out what was going on.  I was just undoing something that I
shouldn't have even done in the first place.  No real functionality
disappeared as a result of this.
