Hi,<br>
<br>
We are currently developping something similar.<br>
<br>
Basically, you have a directory containing a thumbnail of the covers.
The current implementation is using <biblionumber>.jpg for a
cover thumbnails. In the detail page, the thumbnail is also an url link
to the original cover, also named <biblionumber>.jpg, but in a
different directory.<br>
<br>
Right now, the link to the .jpg is hardcoded, however, our plan is to
extend this feature in order to link to a file which the extension will
be specified in a system preference. In your case, that system
preference could refer to a .html file containing the cover, content
page and backcover. This html file could even be a templated file
using some specific directory (/cover, /content, /backcover) for its
content.<br>
<br>
Could this feature set be usefull in your case?<br>
<br>
Hopefully, I should be able to check that in in the next few days.<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">Sounds like something others have asked for - but not something that
is easily doable. I'd recommend a development project that allows
people to upload their own book content after cataloging ... so that
this kind of data can be stored in the database.

<pre wrap="">Hello all.
I am setting up koha for a developmental organisation here in Sri
Lanka (you may have heard of the country, its been in the news a few
times lately).
They have a rather large collection of technical books that they have
published, and they want to put the covers on the koha DB so that
people can know what the book SHOULD look like.
They also want to put the back cover and contents page(s) up in the same way.
I have looked high and low for an efficient way of doing this, and I
am at wit's end. Most places recommend using Amazon covers, but there
is no chance the books will be on AMZN (self-published and all that
dontcherknow).
So where do I go from here? Does anyone have any ideas? Or has anyone done this?
Thanks
Suchetha

I was afraid of that.
since my perl-fu is nonexistent, does anyone have a recommended
workaround? I can handle PHP (though i haven't hacked PHP code in
years)
