OpenBiblio Amazon Lookup plugin.

Filed under: Uncategorized — GreatBaron August 16, 2009 @ 5:23 pm

Greetings,

During the last year of my undergraduate studies, I enhanced OpenBiblio (a content management system for keeping track of your collections (books, musics, etc)).

My enhancements include the ability to keep create multiple ‘libraries’ within the systems, as well as the ability to scan a barcode number from the book and search it from an existing database.

About last week, a gentlemen asked me about my amazon plugin implementation. My implementation was a slight modification of the plugin that can be found at Openbiblio’s download page. In my version,a person can search for more types of data that he/she wishes to input into his/her database. I did write experimental versions to search other Amazon locales but reason that I can’t remember did not include. I am presently waiting news from the gentlemen whether or not he can get the plugin to work. Upon receiving his confirmation, I’ll release it. I still am planning to enhance it further by expanding it’s locale (i.e. include the experimental versions of the code that I have). But that will come in due time.

In the mean time, please see the enhanced openbiblio plug in at:

If you would like download my implementation on your machine. Please leave your request here. I’ll package it in an easier to use manner so that you can use it.

I would be very grateful if you could donate some money to support my development efforts. I’m starting to stand on my own feet and would appreciate some support in my endeavour (every donation allows me to pay my tuition debt even quicker).

Again, thank you very much.
