Description Jonathan Druart 2021-07-27 14:33:11 UTC
There is a "tabloop" variable that is passed from the add item form logic to the cataloguing plugins.
But there is confusion, sometimes it's an iterator ($i) and sometimes (batchMod.pl) an array.

Actually this tabloop variable is never used from cataloguing plugins, we should remove it.

Test plan:
Read the code and confirm the above.
You can also test a couple of plugins and confirm that they are still
working.

This is a trivial change, *but* it needs to be advertised because it might break custom cataloguing plugins.

Hmm. So trivial for skipping QA ?

Do you think it needs an additional pair of eyes on this patch, Marcel?

Well, at least might need. I will do it this week.
Note that comment2 is no recommendation for using the fast lane :)

QAing
Comment 9 Marcel de Rooy 2021-10-15 06:54:34 UTC
I wonder who wrote this in 2014: Note that some of these parameters are not used in most (if not all) plugins and may be obsoleted in the future (kept for now to provide backward compatibility).

Somehow I mixed up tabloop and tagslib. Tabloop is probably the most useless one to pass. But tagslib might be a good candidate too now, especially since we cache these structures now.
