Regarding uploading files in koha (not related to bibliographic records)
Hi, Iam interested to know how we can upload files in koha. Iam already aware of the process to attach files to a bibliographic records / attaching files to a member / and in aqusition - http://kohageek.blogspot.in/2015/12/attaching-files-to-catalog-records.html . What Iam looking is uploading an excel file or a pdf where I can ask our library members to recommend books using the excel list / displaying a common list holds available in library etc... to all our library members using news feature under tools. Thanks in advance. -- Regards T. Suresh Kumar

Ummm... no such feature directly exists in Koha. If you want something to work like that you need to either a) write it yourself b) fund a software developer to write it for you or c) find someone willing to write it for you at no cost However, Koha does provide a Rating feature for each bibliographic record displayed. If you wish to upload a file that want to be displayed on the opac (but not linked to any bibliographic record) you can try the following workaround: 1) create a folder under /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs and upload your file to that folder. 2) reference that file from your custom page (see http://manual.koha-community.org/16.05/en/kohacms.html) or from your News section when you post a new update. Hope this helps. Regards, Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies
