Thanks Luis. The external database has been around for many years. This contains the details of all permanent members in the community - their name, address, telephone, email, status, whether present, in future the contact person. All other databases in the community should refer to this. We have a way to make sure the id is unique. However, the database is something to put up with. We have a 3 line python interface that can talk to the ldap server and get the latest changes in personal details. The original developer who worked on this, wrote an ir.cron to keep the personal details of the members updated. I would like to get the cron to work. I am thinking there is something simple like a daemon we need to run or some other configuration thats missing.
