Telnet interface to Koha
Hi again everybody We're still testing and understanding Koha, and trying to adapt it to our needs... I think we're doing good so far... :) Meanwhile... there's something we'd like to ask. In previous versions of Koha, there was (we never tested it, but it appears in the Koha docs, and quick install guide) a Telnet Interface, under scripts/telnet... is there a reason because this interface is no longer available? what happened to it? Thanks in advance! Martin Longo http://sid.uncu.edu.ar

It has no maintainer & the jump from 1.2 to 2.0 means a lot of rewritte, so it does not work anymore. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

To add to this. It has no maintainer because it was written using the CDK libraries which used to crash under have load. And cause a segmentation fault, and core dump. Which is less than ideal. I was going to rewrite using slang or something, but then the web based circulation module came along and that kept me busy bugfixing/adding features. And with the web based circulation module, there seemed to be less demand for a terminal interface. It actually will still work, even with 2.0 if the modules for it are installed. You'd have to get the modules out of the Attic in CVS as i think they have all been put there. If there is sufficient demand, im more than willing to work on a terminal interface. I'd be even more willing to help someone else who wanted to. Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
