[Koha-devel] iCal feed for circulation due dates

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

Hi all,

 

There's an interesting Bugzilla report where someone was asking to use
opac-ics.pl to provide automatic iCal updates to a calendar (like Google
calendar) for due dates:
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27305

 

The reporter is actually a patron at Huntsville-Madison County Public
Library, which I think Bywater Solutions provides, and he worked out a
clever - although insecure and suboptimal - way of making it work by passing
userid and password as query string parameters.

 

>From what I've read, for a private iCal feed, a provider (like Koha) would
usually provide the user with an individual token that is used as a query
string parameter. 

 

I was wondering if anyone is interested in doing that work. It's not at the
top of my TODO list, but I was thinking a person could do it fairly easily
using borrower_attributes and small changes to opac-user.pl and opac-ics.pl.
