Hi Cab, This is not a solution based on amazon web services but for information, we use the tmdb api (http://docs.themoviedb.apiary.io/) to retrieve movie covers on koha. Even if this api don't provide full coverage of your movies, it shows good potential. You can see an example here : http://catalogue.bu.univ-rennes2.fr/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=pb&q=Paramount%20pictures%20[%C3%A9d.,%20distrib.] To implement it, we used JQuery (see searchPoster function in http://catalogue.bu.univ-rennes2.fr/opac-tmpl/rennes2/js/script.js) and this PHP proxy web service https://gist.github.com/4541962 Regards, -- Julien Sicot Responsable Système d'Information Documentaire SCD/DSI Université Rennes 2 02 99 14 12 64 Le lundi 14 janvier 2013 à 21:59, Cab Vinton a écrit :
We don't subscribe to any enhanced content services, so Amazon is our only feasible source for movie cover images in the preferences.
Amazon does not seem to assign ISBNs to movies, however, only ASINs.
Has anyone found a way of getting images to display correctly using the ASIN, UPC, or other identifier. Koha relies exclusively on the ISBN as far as I can tell.
A sample movie for which we have no cover image: Madagascar 3 (UPC 097361169941).
We have Koha 3.8.
Thank you,
