Feature request - display record bucket as a shared list

[Christine Burns]

In previous versions of Evergreen you were able to use a bucket id to display a record bucket as a shared list. This no longer works. Now there is a field called btype. The value is either staff_client or bookbag where if the value is staff_client the bucket will not display in the OPAC.

In Evergreen 2.12 the "Add to My List" button was removed from the staff client catalogue. https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1629016

Staff now have no way to create shareable lists in the staff client.

This should also include the ability to display a copy bucket as a shared list

+1 to allowing buckets with btype=staff_client to display in the OPAC! Is this the line that prevents staff_client buckets from displaying in the OPAC? https://github.com/evergreen-library-system/Evergreen/blob/180e3329fcce010b58b9e9ca826f9c1757e091e3/Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/WWW/EGCatLoader/Search.pm#L281

After poking at this a bit, it seems like I do not have enough understanding of the search code to accomplish this. Changing the line I mentioned in line #2 allows the bucket's name and description to show up in the OPAC, but does not allow the records in that bucket to show up. It seems like whoever tackles this would have to do some work on the container search filter here: https://github.com/evergreen-library-system/Evergreen/blob/6c0e0d5efaa90dd22468127d6e7d5bf87bdff6c1/Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Application/Storage/Driver/Pg/QueryParser.pm#L725

My assumption would be that the following container.biblio_record_entry_buckets should be available in the OPAC, and that others should not. What do you think?
* pub=true AND
* btype is either staff_client or bookbag (not temporary or anything like that)

Still a valid wishlist feature in 3.9 and beyond
