[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Curious XSLT behavior

[King, Fred]

This works for me for the opac xsl files, and I took a look at the intranet files and they look like they use the same system. Try this:

The Detail and Results need to know the location of MARC21slimUtils.xsl. Put the full path about 9 lines down where it says
   <xsl:import href="MARC21slimUtils.xsl"/>

You also have to edit the slimUtils file to point to MARC21Languages.xsl. So again, put the full path where it says
   <xsl:import href="MARC21Languages.xsl"/>

I think you can put them on a different server, as long as Detail and Results know where to find Utils and Utils knows where to find Languages. There's a bug for this and I put the suggestion there, but now I can't find it.

Greetings all! Our consortium of libraries has been using an XSLT stylesheet customized back in 2019 for "XSLTDetailsDisplay". I would like to move this file from:

/usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/

which is not a path included when 'koha-run-backups' or 'koha-dump' is run, to:

/var/lib/koha/{instance}/xslt/

which is included in those backup routines. According to the manual for 22.05, which is what we're presently running, there should be no problem with doing this:

https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/staffclientpreferences.html?#xsltresultsdisplay

However, I find the following:
-- When I put the new path in "XSLTDetailsDisplay", the stylesheet is NOT employed.
-- If I enable that new path in the web server (e.g. "/xslt") and enter the URL of the file, it is NOT employed. (I verified that it is reachable through the URL.)
-- If I create a symbolic link from the former path to the current path, then the stylesheet IS used for display.

My question is: What have I failed to do to make the desired path work directly?

A related observation I have is this: It seems to me that, for consistency's sake, the XSLT and CSS preferences should function in the same fashion. Perhaps there is an under-the-hood barrier to this being the case.

Thank you for reading! I'm looking forward to receiving guidance from the more experienced.
