[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Record webpage and programming documentation?

[Linda Jansova]

Hi,

We are currently developing a module for pulling added content (book 
jackets, tables of contents etc.) from our local provider obalkyknih.cz.

In our programming endeavor we have come across an encoding issue which 
we have not been able to resolve so far. The thing is all textual added 
content gets messed up when shown on a record webpage. Our programmer 
has made a number of tests to make sure that the encoding does not go 
wrong in the module we are developing (a list of tests performed is 
available at https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1610678). We have 
also tested Open Library – when it comes to tables of contents with 
diacritics, it is also messed up.

To investigate the issue further, could anyone provide us with any hints 
as to:

  *

    how (where) the record webpage actually pulls together?

  *

    how AddedContent.pm methods (which provide the added content) are
    called?

One more question – is there any developer documentation which would 
describe Evergreen architecture in more detail available?

BTW could our developer's hint that „interestingly on URL in form 
http://evergreen-server/opac/extras/ac/toc/html/r/23225 I could see toc 
in correct encoding“ be of any use? It seems to me that if we figured 
out what the differences between how data are processed for a record 
webpage and for the sample URL above, we could actually hit the nail on 
the head...

Thank you in advance for sharing any clues!

Linda
