BOL search not working anymore

Post by jotie »

It seems that the BOL search plugin in Bookpedia (5.0.1) isn't working anymore. When I enter an ISBN (e.g. 9789064456480) to add a book, and select BOL as source, the only retrieved information is the - correct - title (e.g. Straf de armen). No author, publisher or any other data is retrieved. Even the ISBN isn't copied.

Is there something wrong in the communication with BOL's databases? Can you check this please?

Edit: additional info: in the URL field the linked source page shows up as e.g. http://www.bol.comhttp://www.bol.com/nl ... index.html, so it seems that somewhere in the process the 'http://www.bol.com' part duplicates itself...

You can download Bookpedia beta 8 for the fix. In case you also have the other Pedia programs, the plug-in is also fixed in the latest beta 8 for DVDpedia, CDpedia and Gamepedia.

Unfortunately, the plug-in seems to be broken again :( This time nothing shows up. Is BOL playing around with their settings?

Great, thanks!

(However, and I barely dare to say it: the publisher field remains empty)

BOL is once again off the right track. When I scan a barcode in Bookpedia (version 5.1.3), and the corresponding data are picked up from the BOL-database, then something strange occures: the data are displayed in the 'add' form, but the ISBN field remains empty. If the data are picked up from Amazon or others everything goes well, so it has to be a BOL error. Maybe you can sort this out?

Updated again: Bookpedia Beta. Affected the other Pedias as well, so if you have more than one feel free to update the other betas.
