[Koha] Removal of rss.pl
Dear users, we are considering the removal of rss.pl fr the 3.18 release. We'd like to hear from those who still rely on that feature (on older versions), to see if its functionality can be covered with another approach. The code as-is will be removed, but could be reintroduced if someone wanted to work on getting it up to date.

Re: [Koha] Removal of rss.pl
Hi Kyle, thanks for your answer! Could you comment on what feature of rss.pl are they using to find if we could improve it or solve it with other Koha tools?

Would this affect the ability to use rss to subscribe to searches? That is a feature that is well-used, but might be able to be replaced by the ability to use email. (E.g., in Innovative catalogs, one can save a search and then receive an email message when new material matching the search is added to the catalog.) One nice thing about rss, though, is that it doesn't require logging in with an account--it's completely anonymous--one just copies the feed! Of course, if this doesn't affect users' ability to use rss to subscribe to searches, then, nevermind!:) Cheerio! heather ~~ Heather Hernandez Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center heather_hernan...@nps.gov 415-561-7032 (voice) 415-556-3540 (fax) http://www.nps.gov/safr/historyculture/museum-collections.htm The sailor does not pray for wind, he learns to sail.--Gustaf Lindborg ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

The rss.pl that Tomas is talking about is for letting the library build custom RSS fields based on an SQL query.

Re: [Koha] Removal of rss.pl
Galen is correct. We wouldn't remove such a sensitive functionality (RSS feeds). My question relates to a specific tool that not much people might be using.

Re: [Koha] Removal of rss.pl
As I've said before, we use it quite prolifically with our customers; however I'm sure we will work around it should it disappear. We've never had the time to update it to TT and hadn't really found the inclination either to be honest. I'll try and get one of our trainers/configuration guys to comment as it's them that have always set it up for customers.. but as said, we can always work around it if no-one else is currently actively using it (and certainly no-one is actively maintaining it), and I'd vote for it's removal too to help clean up the code base so we can see the wood for the trees.
