In reply to: [WebLibrarian] CVS FileYou need to select the “use CSV Header” checkbox, unless your CSV file has no headers and has the data in the proper order.
I know nothing about Excel (I have never used it) and have no idea how to get Excel to treat an ISBN (a string of digits) as a string and not as a number. I would say Excel is really the wrong tool — *I* would never use a spreadsheet for this purposes — I would create the CSV file using a plain text editor (Micro Emacs would be my personal choice).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Publication DateYes, that is what is does. It is a little funky — I am using a MySQL type of ‘date’, which implies a full date, with month and day of month, even though publication dates often lack a day of month and sometimes lack even a month.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] More Collection TypeCan you give more information? You are logged in as a Librarian, right?
It is not possible to *delete* collection types, and you can only edit the loan period for a collection type.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Call NumberCall number is there, but it is probably not in the documentation, since it was added since the last time the documentation was updated.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Collection Type PagesNot presently. I suppose I could add a filter feature.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Show Thumbnail (or ThumbURL) on Admin Collection Page?It is possible. You would need to edit the code in includes/WEBLIB_Collection_Admin.php, specificly changing the function get_columns() in class WEBLIB_Collection_Admin (at line 187) to add the column. You would need to add a function column_thumbnail that echos or returns a suitable img tag. The column you want to add is ‘thumburl’. Its value would be a URL of an image (eg http://www.host.com/mumble.png) or empty (you can use WEBLIB_IMAGEURL . ‘/nothumb.png’ as the url to display a ‘no image available’ image).

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Check OutYou need to have the patron’s circulation record up. After *finding* the patron, you need to *lookup* the patron.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] AWS Import ImageOk, I made a new release with the JavaScript updated. If you do a Lookup Item, all three image sizes, small, medium, and large (if available) are displayed and any of the three can be inserted as the thumbnail.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] AWS Import ImageOk, I’ve had a look. The ‘medium’ image is returned. The web librarian code is hard-coded to use the ‘small’ image for the thumbnail image. I suppose I can change the code to provide a choise of images to use.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] AWS Import ImageNot sure — I’d have to look at the product database API to see if there is a parameter controlling this.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] Check OutYou need to find and select a patron on the circulation page.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] CVS FileI imported the file into my test site without problem. You did select the “Use CSV Header” checkbox? Also: you should fix your file: the ISBN’s are formatted as floating point numbers (n.nnnnnE+12) — you need to set the data type of that column as “string” and not “number”. Also the file has 31 empty rows of commas, so 31 books are entered with generated barcodes with blank data fields.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] maximum of book itemI have updated the plugin to fix the AUTO-GENERATE barcode code to properly generate *new* barcodes and not recycle old ones.

It should be there in the latest version.And please *don’t* hijack threads! If you have a *new* question, open a *new* support thread.

In reply to: [WebLibrarian] maximum of book itemI’ll have a look at the AUTO-GENERATE barcode code. There might be a problem there.
