NNCIPP ILL BACKEND FOR KOHA

This is the NNCIPP ILL backend for Koha

Setting up the OPAC

The way NNCIPP works, a librarian from LibraryA can log into the OPAC of LibraryB and initiate an ILL request there. In order to make this work, we need to add a page from the present repo to the OPAC. This is done with symlinks:

First clone the repo to somewhere on your Koha server:

$ git clone https://github.com/Libriotech/koha-illbackend-nncipp.git

Link the scripts

How you create the links depends on how you installed Koha:

Debian packages

$ ln -s /path/to/koha-illbackend-nncipp/blob/master/opac/opac-nncipp.pl /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-nncipp.pl
$ ln -s /path/to/koha-illbackend-nncipp/blob/master/opac/opac-nncipp.tt /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-nncipp.tt

Replace "/path/to" with the actual path to your clone of koha-illbackend-nncipp.

Gitified install

$ ln -s /path/to/koha-illbackend-nncipp/blob/master/opac/opac-nncipp.pl /path/to/kohaclone/opac/opac-nncipp.pl
$ ln -s /path/to/koha-illbackend-nncipp/blob/master/opac/opac-nncipp.tt /path/to/kohaclone/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-nncipp.tt

Replace "/path/to/kohaclone" with the actual path to your clone of the Koha git repo.

From detail view to NNCIPP form

Currently, there is no link from the detail view of a record in Koha to the NNCIPP order form provided by opac-nncipp.pl. This will come later. For now the transition will have to be made "by hand". If you are lookin at the detail view of biblionumber 5 your URL will look like this:

<opac>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=5

To see the NNCIPP ILL form for that record you must change the URL to this:

<opac>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-nncipp.pl?biblionumber=5

Configuration

See docs/materialtypes.pod for how to create a mapping for itemtypes.
