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

[Valerie McBeth]

Hello,
I’ve had trouble posting to this list, and thought I’d try a reply instead of a new message.
We’re working on upgrading from 2.1 to 3.0 and I have this question from our IT person:

When doing a Z39.50 import, if you do a “Fast Item Add” in the MARC Editor, does the “Volume and Copy Creator” window pop up automatically after you OK the “Record successfully imported” prompt?

If so, do you know what version of Evergreen you’re currently using?
Thanks,
Valerie McBeth

This isn't perfect, but this is something we've done.

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!

Thanks everyone for your responses!
A couple of clarifications:
1. the images are already coded into the RSS feed--they are the 'thumbnail' size which isn't ideal but if you put the feed url into Feedly or another RSS reader you do get the images. Terran if you figured out how to extract the larger images, that would be useful info!
2. we already use the automatically generated feeds to make our carousels on our OPACs (and some libraries prefer to create their own lists manually to feature certain items)--SPARK has had it for a while now, it went haywire for a bit after our upgrade to 3.0 but it's working again :)

What we're trying go figure out how to do elegantly (& easily!) is to use those RSS feeds on our external, wordpress-based webpages.

Hmm - I did some tweaks on the code to get the images to appear right on the new books lists (which I keep meaning to go back to work on more) for the web site, but I haven't played with the RSS feeds from the list bookbags to try to add images.

Hello Katie, was trying to do this a while back but never got it working.  Here is the bug report I opened on it

According to that bug, PINES did get it working, and includes their code changes.

Hello Evergreen Community :)
I have several libraries who want to use RSS to display their bookbags (either manually or automatically created) on their website. Does anyone know of a reliable Wordpress widget that would display the feed with the cover images?


Looking forward to seeing some of you at ALA MW in a few weeks!
