Hi All, I was working on this a little yesterday and today. I have edited /web/services/Record/Reviews.php and /web/services/Record/xsl/record-reviews.xsl and I am able to create links to the different Syndetics reviews. The problem that I see is that when there is no review for a certain isbn they give you a web page with text in it saying that there was an error in query selection. Here is an example of it, Syndetics_Error <http://syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780061227325/FCHAPTER.html&client=lehip> . I was able to use substring and find the exact words in the html and not list the review if that is what is found. I am afraid that there is going to be some slowness due to the fact that it has to search 10 different reviews before it displays the links or not. Do you know how I could change my code to speed this up? I am attaching Reviews.php and record-reviews.xsl to this email if you want to see what I have done. Thanks for taking the time to look at this, Matt Andrew Nagy wrote: > Matt, this should be a fairly easy change. All you would need to do is modify web/services/Record/Reviews.php file to load the data from syndetics instead of amazon. Take a stab at it and if you still need some help, post your specific questions to the list and I will try to help you out. > > Andrew > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: vuf...@li...
