Re: [Koha] Possible APP development
My two cents: If I understand the state of things correctly offline web apps in HTML5 is already possible. Push notifications over the web isn't there yet even if OS X has it and I hope that it becomes more common. I think that the advantage of using push notifications instead of e-mail/SMS isn't big enough to motivate using the resources neded to create and maintain tablet and phone apps for Android, iOS and possible Windows devices. I do however understand if someone wants to code those apps because it's fun :) Worth investigating might also be gateway apps that receives push-notifications for you without the need for installing a native app. I cannot vouch for https://pushover.net/ but a quick search turned it up and the idea seems to be sound.

[Koha] Where are subject headings ( field 650$a) stored in in Koha database
Hi I imported close to 87000 items. I think I miss-align the subject column during data migration from liberty 3 to Koha, so the subjects are out of place. I would like to correct the error. I am interested in establishing which table in Koha holds subject headings and which field in particular. I will appreciate any pointers.

Re: [Koha] Possible APP development
Thanks for everyone's input. The different views are interesting. I see one of the major advantages of having an app that uses push notifications is that here in NZ internet access for people outside of the major centres is patchy at best. Connecting to a webpage over a cell phone network or even a landline is near impossible in rural areas as the connection is weak and/or drops out continuously. High speed broadband is limited to major cities. Towns outside of these areas have broadband but at very low speeds. Some (un)lucky places still have dial up. Most rural cell phone connections get enough signal send and receive texts but not phone calls, and definitely not enough to load a webpage. Personally I would much rather have an app that sends me notifications alerting me to the need to renew books or that a held item is ready for collection than remember to login to a webpage.

Re: [Koha] Importing Patron Loan History (old_issues)
jbarker schreef op vr 11-04-2014 om 06:26 [-0700]: I tried to export our loans history data from our old ILS to koha 3.14, using: load data local infile '/PATHTO/importloanstest.csv' into table koha.old_issues fields terminated by ',' enclosed by '' lines terminated by'\n'; and got the following error: ERROR 1452 (23000): Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`koha`.`old_issues`, CONSTRAINT `old_issues_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`borrowernumber`) REFERENCES `borrowers` (`borrowernumber`) ON DELETE SET NULL ON UPDATE SET NULL) This is saying that you're attempting to reference a borrower that doesn't actually exist. So i'm just wondering how other people got their loans history into koha from their old ILS? I tend to write scripts to do it, for example: https://gitorious.org/koha-migration-toolbox/koha-migration-toolbox/source/395f9d788acf79df53d2c878837ce7cb72b08467:migration/Liberty/circ.pl One thing it does do is discard any records that have a non-existent borrower or item number, as the software that it comes from keeps them around even when they're quite meaningless. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
