Re: [Koha] Course reserves widget
Katrin asked:
can you describe a bit more, what you are trying to do? Do you mean adding a search form for course reserves on your website?
Yes, that's exactly what I mean, a search form for reserves that can be added to our website (or LibGuides). Thanks, Joelle -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M evening, W, Th, F
Hi Joelle, I think you could easily build a little form offering a pull down of the courses that brings up the course reserves page for each. But you'd have to add courses and map them to the ID manually: .../cgi-bin/koha/opac-course-details.pl?course_id=18 I think, unless you are changing the itemtypes, locations or collections of your items to something related to course reserves, doing a catalog search limited to those items would not be easily possible. Using public reports and JSON you could build something more advanced. Sorry for the answer, I've been keeping this in my inbox for a while meaning to come back to it.

Thank you, Katrin! I appreciate your answer, but it's a bit more involved than I was willing to do to get a reserves widget. Equinox (our support vendor for Koha) is working on a solution using iframes. Apparently, it's working in Firefox, but not Chrome. I'm going to drop it for now; it's not such a big deal, since the course reserves search is pretty easy to find from within the OPAC.
