Re: [VuFind-Tech] Bookcover errors

[Sean C P. <sea...@ug...>]

This may be unrelated, as I have not been following this thread closely, but in order to get the Google thumbnails working, I had to change this line:

            // convert \x26 to &
            $json = str_replace("\\x26", "&", $json);

To this:

            // convert \u0026 to &
            $json = str_replace("\u0026", "&", $json);

In the google method inside bookcover.php.

Another issue:
ISBN:0803701071 (Dog Food Caper, The) on Google does not return a json 'thumbnail_url'. The bookcover.php code for it:
...
            if ($json = json_decode($json, true)) {
                return processImageURL($json['thumbnail_url'], false);
            }
...
assumes that every result returns a 'thumbnail_url', even though that is not the case for some records, such as the one I just pointed out. As a result, I'm also getting errors "Undefined index:  thumbnail_url" appearing in my error log.
