Description Owen Leonard 2021-09-16 12:15:00 UTC
I noticed these warnings coming from getTranslatedLanguages when working on my OpacNav-to-news patch:

Use of uninitialized value $interface in concatenation (.) or string at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/Languages.pm line 121.
Use of uninitialized value $theme in concatenation (.) or string at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/Languages.pm line 121.

Comment 3 Joonas Kylmälä 2021-09-18 08:42:11 UTC
The get_from_cache() function cannot be called without any value because it calls croak() if done so. This change will at least break the Koha installer, http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/koha/installer/install.pl. Please also fix the typo in the commit title and check with perltidy your code follows the coding style: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#PERL1:_Perltidy

Bug 29040: Remove warning from the itemtype edit view

Use of uninitialized value $interface in concatenation (.) or string at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/Languages.pm line 121.

We are expecting "intranet" or "opac", here we sent undef which raises a
warning.
For no change in behaviour we can send "both" (or whatever different
than "intranet" and "opac").

Test plan:
Hit /cgi-bin/koha/admin/itemtypes.pl?op=add_form&itemtype=BK
Notice that the warning does no longer appear in the logs with the patch
applied.

Comment 9 Marcel de Rooy 2021-12-16 09:22:33 UTC
I will still have a look at this call now on bug 29245.

my $translated_languages = C4::Languages::getTranslatedLanguages( "both", C4::Context->preference('template') );

When we ask for both, it is actually a bit weird to pass the staff theme too. But this is merely theoretical.
Comment 10 Marcel de Rooy 2021-12-16 10:00:16 UTC
Another question:

admin/localization.pl contains:
my $translated_languages = C4::Languages::getTranslatedLanguages( 'intranet', C4::Context->preference('template') );

Since we use both in itemtypes, I am wondering if this statement is wrong?
