Web Client: Library Details - Nonfunctional Links

[Shula Link]

In 3.0.2:

In the library details area of the catalog, the "Generate Map & Directions" and "Library web site" links are nonfunctional.

Expected Behavior:

"Generate Map & Directions" should link to the appropriate Google Map. "Library web site" should link to the library web site.

Confirming that the Library Web site link does not work with a simple click. However, it will open in a new tab if you CTRL-click or use the context menu to open it in another tab.

I think the Generate Map & Directions link must be something custom because I'm not seeing it on a stock system.

I also see the following in the Console when I try to click the Library Web Site link:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://mlnc1.noblenet.org/eg/staff/cat/catalog/record/2' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://example.com/BR1'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

If I update the library URL to use https, it opens in the client without any trouble.

If all libraries are using https, the best answer is to update the library links to use https.

Another possibility is to force the links to open in a new tab. I generally am not a big fan of forcing new tabs with link behavior, but I think it makes sense to do so when in the staff client. However, these links are also used in the public catalog. Do we want to force our public users into a new tab as well?

Yeah, the map is a customization for PINES, so that can be disregarded as a bug.

This was fixed at some point; as of 3.2 the Library Web Site link opens normally with a single click.
