Hi, Currently my library is using 3.00.01.005. I'm hoping to add a little section to the OpacMainUserBlock that would show the titles and cover images of some of the newest arrivals to be catalogued. Has anyone already done something like this for their library?

NPL has done this and Owen wrote up a blog post about how he went about doing it: http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=74 Hope that helps some, Nicole On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 3:32 PM, Dillon Moore <dmoore@cigionline.org> wrote:

NPL has done this and Owen wrote up a blog post about how he went about doing it:
I did that write-up because people often asked me how we did it on our web site. However, I hesitate to point people to it because it's a complicated solution. It involves maintaining a non-Koha database to track the new titles and a web application infrastructure for handling adds, deletions, and display. The reason we went to all this trouble is that we didn't want to highlight every new title, just selected titles which we thought would be of interest to our readers. If you could take the result of a Koha search and embed them in your site you might be able to come close. But some questions remain: All new titles? The biblio table tracks creation date of biblio records using the 'dateadded' field, but the OPAC search doesn't have access to that. You can sort by acquisition date, but that looks at the date *item* records were created, so if you add a single copy to an old biblio record that record will pop to the top of your results. To me it's a complicated matter, but maybe I'm just too picky about it. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
