Add items to a list

Once you have created a list, you may add items to this list in several ways.

 Carousel plugin

Before adding a Koha plugin, you must enable the system preference UseKohaPlugins.

For more information about plugins, please refer to : https://inlibro.com/koha-plugins/

On the “Books carousel” page, click on “Download.”

Save the file on your computer.

In Koha,

Go to Tools > Tool plugins

Click on “Upload plugin”
Click on “Browse” and search for the plugin file.
Click on “Upload”

On the Carousel plugin line, click on “Action”

Select Configure

 

Select the default list (the list to display on the carousel). Then, select the font and background colors.

 

Click on “Apply configuration”

Uploading a new list to the carousel

On the carousel line, click on “Action”.

Select “Run tool”

Choose the “list name” and click on “Generate”

On the OPAC home page, notice the new carousel list.

 

Try to avoid overcrowding your carousel, since too many items will reduce cover images visibility. For example, the top carousel contains 20 items, while the carousel bellow has more than 50 items.

Click on “Add to” and select “List”
