Multiple Library Search :: Help Needed
Hello all. We have hosted 10 different Libraries at 10 different Public IPs. Now while searching the koha catalog from the OPAC view of any one of the libraries, is it possible to limit the search to one of the libraries we have hosted??? I mean to say that suppose that we browse the opac interface with the IP of Libarary A, then is it possible to select the branch as Libarary B in the limit options provided by KOHA and then get the results from only Library B ??? I have already added certain libraries and group into it. Libarary A : 202.70.88.22 Libarary B : 202.70.88.23 Please Help. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT email: rijal.it@gmail.com url: http://niteshrijal.com.np facebook: http://facebook.com/openrijal twitter: http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173
im going to take a shot at this and maybe someone else can reply to mine, but multiple search cant happen unless you modify koha. You can either do that on the back end and fully integrate it so it works how you would like or you can do a quick hack with some javascript and a drop down list form. with the perl & html you would have to modify the .pl and the .tmpl of the page you want to have it shown on. I would try and emulate the backend search feature on how it picks libraries.... with my quick method, you would put the library name and as the value or whatever have it go to the "Ip" of that library so it changes website locations to that libraries opac. The javascript would redirect automatically after the person selected the library so you would not need a submit button. the only thing to this is, if you update koha, you remove your code. so just remember what you edit and how you edited it. hope this helps a little or gives an idea. -Scott _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
this works pretty well for us: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2:rfc32_multiple_opac We have links posted for all our libraries at: k-12.pisd.edu/library.html nitesh rijal wrote:
