http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11181 Bug ID: 11181 Summary: Koha geolocalization of OPAC users for better sort results Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 3.14 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: new feature Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: pablo.bianchi@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org As I suggest back on 2009 (http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Geolocalization-in-Koha-td3069181.html ) it would be very nice if Koha could offer geolocation[0] (maybe using openstreetmap.org or Google Maps API). Having branches spread over a large territory make this feature very useful, making the records of the searched material more near first in the result list. Is possible to add some heuristics based on what people usually search for nearby (as Google does). There are some freely available databases[1], but also is possible to create and improve one over time, based on location established on registered and logged users, associating it with their IP address. Some extra fields for each Library should be added to database (aside code for geolocation and sorting OPAC results) like longitude and latitude on Decimal Degrees, "DD"[2], and a system preference to activate/deactivate this.
