It is certainly possible to do if you have someone with some programming experience. I did something similar when I first wanted single signon between Libki and Koha. I added some code into koha so that every time a Koha user was updated, it would call a script I wrote which would read the data from Koha and then update the database in Libki. You want to go the other way though, so you need to either be able to trigger the execuation of a script when you make a change in Filemaker, or more simply, you could write a script that runs nightly and updates all the users in the Koha database each night. You can see what data Koha stores about patrons here: http://schema.koha-community.org/tables/borrowers.html Kyle http://www.kylehall.info ByWater Solutions ( http://bywatersolutions.com ) Meadville Public Library ( http://www.meadvillelibrary.org ) Crawford County Federated Library System ( http://www.ccfls.org ) Mill Run Technology Solutions ( http://millruntech.com ) On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 9:03 PM, Sonia P. <sossolapro@hotmail.com> wrote:
Dear all
We have got a user database with lots of other things (invoices etc) on Filemaker Pro, in one part of our organisation. We would like to automatically link that user database with our Koha patrons database -- so when we update the user database on Filemaker it automatically updates our Koha patrons database. Does that exist? I tried to look for it in the manual (and other places online) but I probably don't look for the right words, I am not sure what to search...
Cheers,
Sonia.
