My Koha is up and going -- Looking for reading levels
Wow, I am feeling great that I have Koha 3.0 going. The new question I have is does anyone search their library catalogs by reading level. In 2.8, I could search by Lexile 360 and get all the books that had Lexile and 360 in the record. It wasn't perfect, but it was an additional way to search that my teacher's liked. Any ideas of how to set it up in 3.0? Thanks for any ideas, Darla -- Darla Grediagin District Librarian Bering Strait School District Unalakleet, Alaska Web Address : http://bssdonline.org/course/view.php?id=51 Blog: http://aklibrarian1.edublogs.org/ OPAC: http://opac.bssd.org:8181/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl

A patch for searching on lexiles was submitted by Amit Gupta in January 2010: http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-January/010872.h... http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2010-January/010874.h... Alas, as far as I can tell (based on doing "grep -r lexile *" in the top directory of a freshly updated clone of the Git repo) this code never actually made it into Koha.

It's true, this code still needs a signoff and integration. It's on my to-test list, but if anyone else gets to it first, more power to them! -Ian On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 4:41 AM, Magnus Enger <magnus@enger.priv.no> wrote:
