webclient: cannot edit MARC records from MARC Batch Import/Export (Vandelay)

[Andrea Neiman]

Within the MARC Batch Import/Export interface, you can view & edit a MARC record in your queue by clicking the "View MARC" link in the queue, and then "Edit" in the resulting screen. In XUL client, this will open a new window with the MARC Edit interface and you can edit/save as expected.

This is not working correctly in Webby.

In Chrome, a new (blank) browser window opens and downloads a file named marcedit.xul

In Firefox, you get a new browser window with the address https://webby.evergreencatalog.com/xul/server/cat/marcedit.xul and an error stating "This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox."

For whoever takes this up, commit 0bd63e583da386f gives an example of a way to deal with it.

A branch that add the ability to edit the marc record using the modal MarcEditor is here:

Tested and works for me and merged to master for inclusion in beta2. Thanks, Cesar!

From the amended commit message:

    Note that this patch doesn't ensure that the modal can save the
    record and be dismissed via just a single click of the Modify button;
    an issue was discovered with that that could not be resolved in time
    for beta2.
