[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] RSS to display OPAC lists on wordpress sites?

[Terran McCanna]

The default Evergreen bookbag RSS feeds don't contain image links, so I
assume yours are created some other way or at least customized, is that
correct? If so, in whatever code you have that creates image link, you
should theoretically just be able to change the path so that this:

/opac/extras/ac/jacket/small/r/#####

becomes this:

/opac/extras/ac/jacket/medium/r/#####

or this:

/opac/extras/ac/jacket/large/r/#####


(In the SuperCat code that produces the new books lists, I had to
change MARC21slim2ATOM.xsl
so that it put the TCN in the link instead of the ISBN.)

I know this doesn't help with your original request for a WordPress widget
- sorry!
