There is little documentation on using Koha with VuFind, I am curious if anyone is currently using VuFind with Koha and if they can give me some guidance. I am currently having issues with VuFind not reflecting holdings status. In addition I am struggling to setup the OAI connector for automated updates.

Hi Riley If you look here https://vufind.org/wiki/installation_status you can find other Koha libraries using VuFind. Perhaps a direct approach to one of them would get you some help! That said, I am curious to know what VuFind offers that would be nice to have in Koha?

Hello Riley, Agnes and all, we are using VuFind with on the top of Koha. Riley: do you have configured the ILS driver in VuFind? Thats the place where statuses are transfered from Koha to VuFind. We don´t use oai to transfer biblio data, we have just simple script which uses Koha export.pl, but we use OAI in Koha for other purposes, so we can make an assistance for you, what is the exact problem? Agnes: Koha Opac is very good (I really like the user account, for example) but VuFind gives more flexibility in customizing the catalog, so we can easily attach external local services (we are in Czech Republic and most external sources of information does not work for us) - like issuing ebooks, and using czech cover image database, and so on.

Yes I am, I have imported all the Marc records using the export script and then imported them to Vufind. Vufind is communicating with the Koha database because I am able to login, we just cannot see holding status. //Riley -- Riley Childs Alumni Charlotte United Christian Academy Library Services Administrator new email: me@rileychilds.me mobile: +1 (704) 497-2086 web: http://www.rileychilds.me<http://www.rileychilds.me/> ________________________________ From: Josef Moravec <josef.moravec@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2015 7:51 AM To: Agnes Rivers-Moore; Riley Childs; koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] VuFind and Koha Hello Riley, Agnes and all, we are using VuFind with on the top of Koha.

Please note that I added a page to the wiki: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/External_Integration This includes a link to PTFS Europes's KohaRest branch -- https://github.com/PTFS-Europe/vufind/tree/koha-driver The Koha.php driver is very bare bones -- KohaRest.php uses ILS-DI in preference to pulling data from the database, which is the only way that Koha.pl does it.
