http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11994 Bug ID: 11994 Summary: Add option for installing a search plugin for Koha Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org One of our libraries has asked about a search plugin for Koha and I did some experimenting. The needed xml could look something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/"> <ShortName>Short name</ShortName> <Description>Longer description</Description> <InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding> <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="yourbaseurlforkoha/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q={searchTerms}"/> </OpenSearchDescription> I also found different options to make this visible to the user: A link using Javascript, similar to what Bugzila itself offers on the start page: <a href="javascript:window.external.AddSearchProvider('URL for xml file')">Search Plugin</a> This seems to work nicely in Firefox and IE. Another option is using a link tag in the header. This will offer to install the plugin when you open the pull down of your search targets. It seems to only work in Firefox and not in IE. <link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="..." href="http://...xml" /> Example: http://swb2.bsz-bw.de/ I thought maybe it would be nice to offer a plugin by default, using Koha's OpacBaseURL and LibraryName system preferences to fill out the required fields. This could be helpful for libraries with hosted Koha solutions that don't have the option to create an .xml file and store it on a web server themselves. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
