jQuery: Enhanced Search Facets

Hold on to your facets, because you ain’t seen nothing yet! This week Christopher takes the helm as he navigates viewers through the bizarre world of search facets. One could almost say it’s “facet”-nating!

jQuery & CSS: Placards

It’s time to boldly go where no man has gone before – or at least no Koha OPAC has gone before. Join us this week as we explore strange, new worlds with our hosts while they show you how to add placards (information panels) to OPAC search results for items outside of your normal collection. This is an episode that even Jean Luc Picard would be proud of. (Or is that Jean Luc Placard?)

Library Bookshelves: A WordPress Plugin

This week we escape from the norm, and look at a WordPress plugin to display book covers based on reports from Koha. And our video editing is slightly improved as well. But don’t let that distract you from this awesome plugin.

Episode 18

jQuery: Quick Permissions

We give you permission to ooh and aah over this gem of jQuery. We’ll show you how to setup quick permission buttons in your user permissions, so you don’t have to scramble, trying to remember the same settings you’ve set for every other staff member. And as an added bonus, a button to copy permissions from one user to another, just to make it that much more exciting and spectacular. Are you drooling yet?
