Displaying unique title and volume count on the Koha staff client
by Indranil Das Gupta 15 Dec '17

15 Dec '17

Kia Ora! Erstwhile SOUL and e-Granthalaya users from India, when they shift to Koha, often want a at-a-glance heads up view of the count of unique titles and number of copies which is there in SOUL and e-G. So, in memories of Santu Mondal, a young library professional, who left us untimely this day two years back, I'm sharing this new blog post on an upgrade-friendly way to display unique title and volume count (live data) on the Koha staff client using Koha’s SQL report facility in tandem with Koha’s Reports web service API pushing JSON formatted data and some Javascript. The solution is based on a SQL report available on the Koha wiki. "Displaying unique title and volume count on the Koha staff client" - http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2017/12/15/displaying-unique-title-and-vol… Here is a screenshot - http://bit.ly/2o5vSZk cheers, idg -- Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
