Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web Client and 3.0


Hi Scott,

I'm not using 3.0 in production, but I have a couple of answers for you.
1.       I know receipt templates will need to be recreated manually. Are there 
any other similar configuration-related gotchas?

We also have similar issues with copy templates and report templates. There are 
related bugs for each.

For copy templates - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1691269 - Jason 
Boyer has submitted some code to make XUL copy templates available in the web 
client. It is not available in the core code yet. I haven't had a chance to 
look at it yet, but I know there are others who are looking at it.

For report templates - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1642344 - if 
you want to clone existing report templates in the web client, you have to do 
so in an interface that is missing a lot of fields we may need to use in a 
report template. I do know there is an organization that has contracted with 
Equinox to create tech specs for allowing xul templates to be cloned in the 
standard reports template editor, but I expect it will take some time for that 
work to be done.

2.       Can Serials and Acquisitions be used?

Acquisitions has been available in the web client since 2.12, and serials is 
newly-available in the web client in 3.0. However, I can't speak to how much 
use they've gotten in production. For acquisitions, the Dojo interfaces were 
ported over as is, so it should work about as well as it does in the old 
client. For either of these areas, though, I would say they have passed 
extensive user testing to get into the core software, but there are issues that 
probably won't be known until libraries start using it in production, as was 
the case when Holly tried checking in an issue. The sooner libraries start 
using it in production, the sooner those issues can be submitted to Launchpad 
and resolved.

3.       Have you discovered any serious problems?

Thank you,
