koha and library homepage integration
I'm trying to see how far I can integrate my library website with the koha opac. Has there been any work with integrating a cms with the koha opac? Any good examples I should checkout where the catalog and the library homepage are blended really nicely?
Biblibre have done some awesome work with Koha and SOPAC -- http://demo.sopac.biblibre.com/ Nicole On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 3:04 PM, Erik Lewis <elewis@ngrl.org> wrote:

Hui Eric, This is not perfect - its still in production but you are welcome to look. http://opac.koha.catalystdemo.net.nz/ We have got a Kete set up as well http://kete.library.org.nz which we use to create some of the inside pages (topic in kete talk) - mostly stuff to link through to, and digital images etc which can be linked to from the OPAC homepage. http://kete.net.nz We are also using Kea from Katipo Communications to manage the main inside webpages: www.katipo.co.nz . The plan is that the frontscreen of the Koha3.0 OPAC will be the front page of our website as well. Its coming along nicely. Chris Cormack from Catalyst IT here in NZ is doing the Koha 3.0 conversion for us (moving up from Koha 2.0), Katipo did the design work, artwork from Wendy Hodder - a local artist, muralist and children's book illustrator: http://kete.library.org.nz/site/topics/show/43-wendy-hodder Cheers Jo.

Owen deserves a ton of thanks too, his blog helped us do this without changing any templates. So its all css, and sysprefs Chris
Of course! Sorry Owen for forgetting to mention you - we got heaps of value from your blog - thank you too. :-) Chris Cormack wrote:
