[Koha] koha and wordpress

[Viktor.Sarge at regionhalland.se]

It would be quite possible to create a parser for extracting the content of a list and republishing title, author etc. in a nicely formated way on your wordpress site. But I’m more in favour of a more standardized way of extracting the data from Koha such as creating an RSS feed for both what public lists there are and the contents of each list. 

If anyone does want to fool around with parsing a Koha list with javascript I think the parser we created for parsing Koha in our federated search might be worth a look: https://github.com/regionbibliotekhalland/SamsokJS/blob/master/js/samsok/parsers.js

Unfortunately I don’t know of any quick and easy way to push the contents to Wordpress. But creating RSS feeds in Koha is not a very big developer job. It shouldn’t be all that expensive and if there is some plugin in worpress to display the contents of an RSS feed on your site then you should be set. 

Kind regards/Viktor
