Re: [VuFind-General] using thumbnails from Dspace or other sources

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

The record driver contains a getThumbnail method, so you can define a custom way of obtaining a thumbnail for any record.

At Villanova, we use this technique for items in our digital library:

https://library.villanova.edu/Find/Search/Results?lookfor=&type=AllFields&filter[]=collection%3A%22Digital+Library%22&view=list<https://library.villanova.edu/Find/Search/Results?lookfor=&type=AllFields&filter%5b%5d=collection%3A%22Digital+Library%22&view=list>

To summarize:


1.)    At index time, populate the recordtype field of the index with a string identifying the record source (we use "vudl" since our digital library is VuDL).  You may also want to store thumbnail information in the index somewhere - there is a single thumbnail field you could use, though if you have different sizes, you'll have to either use the new dynamic field technique introduced in VuFind 1.3, or you can stuff data into the fullrecord field (which is how the VuDL driver currently works).

2.)    Create a custom record driver class named to match your recordtype value - ours is web/RecordDrivers/VudlRecord.php - and define a getThumbnail() method.

You can see the VuDL driver code here:

Subject: [VuFind-General] using thumbnails from Dspace or other sources

Dear all

Checking some code in Vufind and some files it raised one doubt.... If we are harvesting a file from a repository that have thumbnail, it is possible to put into vufind like it does with the covers...? reviewing the code and some files.. I thnink perhaps it is possible.... but I am not pretty sure...

Anybody is using the thumbnail in the repository inside of Vufind?

Kindest Regards
hugo
