Resaving your plugin settings will get rid of these errors. This is a bug that will be fixed in the next release.

That, at least, is good news. Perhaps your website manager can locate another log file that might contain PHP errors?

Go to Tools > Site Health in the WordPress Dashboard. Do you see a notice about missing modules? If so, please list them.

I don’t see anything in the logs that is preventing the plugin from using the TLC API data.

Try this: Use the Koha RSS Feed option with your original URL https://ls-web.co.walton.fl.us/list/dynamic/617857221/rss and see if you get any items in the Bookshelf.

Please confirm the service in the Bookshelf editor is set to TLC LS2 PAC API.

Is your plugin up to date? Are you able to view your website error logs?

Perhaps your web server’s connection to the TLC server is timing out… Can you try a shorter list with fewer items?

Remove the rss from the API URL and you’ll be all set! The plugin expects to get JSON data, not an RSS feed.

It looks like the plugin will be able to work with Atriuum. Look for the option in the next release!

Nice work on those Bookshelves! You should be able to fix this by entering your Syndetics client ID in the plugin settings.

You can find the client ID by inspecting a cover image from your catalog, ex: https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?type=xw12&client=<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>530-621-5540</span>&upc=786936893762&oclc=&isbn=/LC.JPG

Plug this in to the Image Server ID/Username field of the plugin Catalog Settings.

200 is quite a large number of books for a Bookshelf that displays 4 at a time… Even so, I would expect it to process faster. You can check for PHP errors and let me know of any issues related to the plugin, but I suspect a slow/shared web server may be the problem.

The plugin does not parse data from search results pages. You’d need to use the Polaris API to populate a Bookshelf from a list.

Unfortunately the plugin does not support the Polaris API since I do not have access to a Polaris instance to test it. You can enter ISBNs manually or use the New York Times API to fill Bookshelves.

You’ll want to use the Symphony Web Services REST API. It may look something like:

[subdomain?].olsn.ent.sirsidynix.net[:port?]/[sub dir?]/symws/rest/standard/searchInfoDesk?json=true&clientID=&infoDesk=NEW&hitsToDisplay=50

Contact Ontario Library Service to find out if they have the API enabled and how to access it.

You can set it up as a grid. For example, in the Slider settings tab set:
Rows: 5
Slides Per Row: 4
Slides to Show: 1

This will give you 4×5 grids with pagination. You’ll likely want to set grid mode in the Slick Override settings in individual Bookshelves posts, rather than the global plugin settings.

Here’s an example page with grids: https://guilderlandlibrary.org/read-view-listen/items-on-order/

If your client has access to the SirsiDynix Symphony Web Services (or other API like NYT Books), you can fill Bookshelves with new items or with items based on other query parameters.

Thanks, I’m glad you like the plugin!

You will not be able to use images directly from Overdrive, since Overdrive image file URLs do not contain ISBNs (unless they have some API I’m not aware of).

I suggest trying OpenLibrary. I see your catalog already uses some OpenLibrary images. It may not have all the images you are looking for, but you can always add them and improve the database.

I should include some screenshots. Thanks for reminding me.

You can see some basic configurations and settings info on the slick website (this plugin uses slick to make carousels). https://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/

Here are some pages using the plugin:
https://www.yourcl.org/
https://drakelibrary.org/book-lists/
https://www.mahwahlibrary.org/

In short, you can control how many book covers are displayed at once, in horizontal or vertical carousels or in a grid. There are arrows, dots and swipe controls for navigation. You can show title information in captions or on mouseover.
