Re: [VuFind-General] Book Covers?

[Brett, H. <Ham...@ds...>]

Hi Andrew
 
I edited the url below and put in my id and an isbn. I received an xml
document that refers to urls with jpgs, and when I put them in a browser
the picture came up. So it seems to me that part works. When I look in
the bookcover.php file the next part refers to PEAR. I seem to be having
a pear issue at present would this cause the bookcovers to fail? The
problem is if i enter pear list-all for example I receive the following
 
File http://us.pear.php.net:80/rest/c/categories.xml not valid
(received: HTTP/1.0 401 Authentication Required)

Brett - this maybe be a bit of a pain to test - but if you open up the
bookcover.php file and find the url for amazon and copy that into a
browser while entering in your amazon id as well as the isbn for the
record - you should be able to see what is happening.  Let me know if
you are able to get this to work or not.

 

It should look like this:

http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Subsc
riptionId=<MYAMAZONID>&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Images&ItemId=
<ISBN
<http://webservices.amazon.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&Subs
criptionId=%3cMYAMAZONID%3e&Operation=ItemLookup&ResponseGroup=Images&It
emId=%3cISBN> >

Hi

 

I cannot get the book covers and summaries working. I have created an
aws account with Amozon and have put the id in the .ini file. However it
seems to timeout. I sit behind a proxy and am wondering if this has
anything to do with it?

 

Thanks
