Hey All, I just complete the front-end of an Offline Circulation Firefox Extension for Koha. As of now, it stores all the necessary data. Now it just needs to get it to Koha. I've been talking to Josh about how to do that. I'm looking for anyone who might volunteer to help on this aspect. Also, the extension is ready for translation, so if anyone wants to add French, or any other language to it, just let me know and I'll send you the neccessary files for translation. You can download the extension and try it out from http://ccfls.org/koha I've also made it part of my project on sourceforge, koha-tools. Everything I've been working on involoving Koha is in the koha-tools subversion repository. That includes my other firefox extension, the activity simulator, the custom reports I've written, a few tools for fixing data problems in koha and in marc records, and the scripts and classes I wrote to move data our of our current ILS and into koha. Check it out at : http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha-tools Browse the repo online: http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/koha-tools/ Kyle -- IT Tech Crawford County Federated Library System

it sounds very very interesting, but, at least for me, more information is needed on how to get the source & how to test & what it already does. And I always volunteer to give help, so you can ask more precisely what kind of help you need. SAN-OP : this is probaly the offline circulation module you're waiting for.

The source is available from the koha-tools subversion repository, in the future it may move to google's code repository. There reason I sent my first e-mail was to allow everyone to check it out and see what it does do right now. After installation, there is a new option under Tools in Firefox. Click it and the offline circulation window comes up. There are three tabs, one for checking out books, one for returning books, and one that will eventually be for moving that data into koha. And I always volunteer to give help, so you can ask more precisely what
kind of help you need.
Right now the program stores the data locally, what we need is a way to get it out of the offline circ, and into Koha. I wanted to use SOAP, but I think Josh's suggestion using XML and httpRequest is probably alot easier and quicker to write. Any other ideas would be most helpful. I believe that working with a developer more knowledable if koha's internal workings would benefit us all. SAN-OP : this is probaly the offline circulation module you're waiting
for. In french : c'est surement le module de prêt de secours (=réseau down) dont vous avez besoin.
That's why I made sure translating it into french would be easy ; ) What I will do now is make sure the code is well documented. If anyone wants to help me with the code, I can give them commit rights to the repository. Kyle -- IT Tech Crawford County Federated Library System

How are we meant to see it if there's no file to download? Please don't expect everyone to install subversion. It's large and not that good IMO. Tarballs and patches are vital for wide access.
