Bug ID: 9580
Summary: Cover image from Coce, a remote image URL cache
Classification: Unclassified
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: 3.12
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: OPAC
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Add to Koha support for displaying Book cover requested to Coce, a
remote image URL cache:
https://github.com/fredericd/coce
With this enhancement, cover images are not fetched directly from
Amazon, Google, and so on. Their URL are requested via a web service to
Coce which manages a cache of URLs.
Three cover image providers are now available: Google Books (gb), Amazon
(aws), and Open Library (ol). Two system preferences enable this service:
- CoceHost - URL of Coce server
- CoceProviders - Ordered list of requested providers. For example
gb,aws,ol, will return the first available URL from those providers.
Several advantages to this architecture:
- If a book cover is not available from a provider, but is available
from another one, Koha will be able to display a book cover, which
isn't the case now
- Since URLs are cached, it isn't necessary for each book cover to
request, again and again, the provider, and several of them if
necessary.
- Amazon book covers are retrieved with Amazon Product Advertising
API, which means that more covers are retrieved (ISBN13).
