[Koha] Koha Iframe ??
Hello everyone, We are in the process of building our public access to the catalogue and our library website. The web design team we are working with wants to know if the catalogue can be embedded in a website as an Iframe? Or if it is preferred to embed just the Koha search bar for quick searching (which is what I have seen in instances around the world). Does this work? What are its limitations? Etc. Thank you much, Jesse -- Jesse A Lambertson Librarian Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center 1100 16th St, NW Washington, DC 20036 jlambert...@sqcc.org ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

The Koha OPAC doesn't do anything to prevent itself from being embedded in an iframe. However, I would carefully question the reasons behind wanting to do so. In my experience there are very few legitimate reasons to use an iframe that way--especially considering how customizable Koha's OPAC is. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

Hie, There is only one bug I know on OPAC when using iframe. Its a javascript problem with the basket. I send you this patch which corrects the problem. In my opinion since OPAC is responsive now, using a frame will be very odd.

Hello Fridolin. Thank you for your reply. A couple weeks ago, right after this thread began, we decided to NOT to use iframe - whew. I was never in favour of it, but our web design folkswere a different story. The OPAC has so much potential and customization (as exhibited by instance after instance across the globe) I think to do anything to minimize that is problematic. Everything is good here - we just have to wait for the design team to do their thing. Cheers for now and thanks again, Jesse On Tue, Aug 25, 2015 at 3:14 AM, Fridolin SOMERS < fridolin.som...@biblibre.com> wrote: > Hie, > > There is only one bug I know on OPAC when using iframe. > Its a javascript problem with the basket. > I send you this patch which corrects the problem. > > In my opinion since OPAC is responsive now, using a frame will be very odd. > > Best regards, > > Le 12/08/2015 17:47, Jesse Lambertson a écrit : > >> Hello everyone, >> >> We are in the process of building our public access to the catalogue and >> our library website. >> >> The web design team we are working with wants to know if the catalogue can >> be embedded in a website as an Iframe? >> >> Or if it is preferred to embed just the Koha search bar for quick >> searching >> (which is what I have seen in instances around the world). >> >> Does this work?
