RSS links should point to opac record format by default instead of htmholdings-full

[Kathy Lussier]

By default, links in Evergreen RSS feeds point to records in the htmlholdings-full format. An example record in this format can be seen at:

https://jasondev.mvlcstaff.org/opac/extras/unapi?id=tag:open-ils.org,2013-05-24:biblio-record_entry/490977/MVLC&format=htmlholdings-full

We would like these links to use the opac format by default, which, after https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1089479 is resolved, would bring the user to the bib record in the catalog.

There was some discussion in IRC this morning regarding the use of YAOUS to identify which format should be used. However, it sounded like the use of a setting might be complicated to implement. It might be first useful to have a discussion about whether a setting is even needed to control this behavior.

 I personally can't think of any users who would want to view the htmlholdings-full format of a record. I think most users would expect to arrive at the record in the catalog.

Below you'll find a branch that does what Ben describes, as well as adjusting the <title> element of bookbag feeds to contain just the bookbag name. The description is still available and wrapped in context-providing text.

This should close the above-referenced bug 1089479 as well.

I might also argue that this is a bug fix, at least for 2.4 ... but I'll leave that alone others agree. If you do, feel free to target this bug at 2.4 as well.

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley (lebbeous)]

This works well in my tests, so I have signed-off and pushed to master.

Since it's not targeted at 2.4 yet, I didn't merge it there, although if somebody comes along before bit rot sets in, I don't see why it would be unreasonable to merge into 2.4

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley (lebbeous)]

On second thought, as this fixes bug 1089479 at the same time, and nobody wants links to JSPAC links if they're running 2.4+, I think this really ought to be backported. So doing that and marking the other bug closed.
