Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How to set up Syndetic AddedContent in TPAC? (EG 2.2.0)
Hi Yamil,
Not sure about the default providers, but my opensrf.xml has a line like:
base_urlhttp://syndetics.com/index.aspx/base_url
Which follows the module definition.
I'm guessing that's necessary to perform the lookups too.

Hello,
I am trying to set up Syndetic AddedContent in TPAC on EG 2.2.0. I am
not 100% sure how to properly set up TPAC to use Syndetic. I have
followed the instructions listed on the official documentation for
both 1.6[1] and 2.0[2] (since they are the same), and I cannot yet get
it to work on my test server. So far I have updated my opensrf.xml
file by updating the module tag inside the added_content tag
to say...
moduleOpenILS::WWW::AddedContent::Syndetic/module
I also updated the userid tag with the client ID supplied by
Syndetic. Finally, I restarted opensrf and Apache.
So far no cover images are showing up, though I was expecting cover
images for books or CDs (that have UPC values in MARC records) to
work. Book covers had been showing up great using OpenLibrary from the
default install configuration. For the record, my contract with
Syndetic is for album and book covers only.
I checked the Apache error log and I got this...

Ben,
Thanks! I think it working now, but I might be dealing with a lack of
enough UPC data or bad UPC data in my records to appreciate how well
it is actually working.
I might post another question when I am done researching this more.
Thanks again,
Yamil

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How to set up Syndetic AddedContent in TPAC? (EG 2.2.0)
Oh Yamil, I just re-read your email and realize now that you're on 2.2.
In that case, there is no UPC lookup for Syndetics in the catalog, it's
ISBN only I think. The work Jeff Godin is doing for UPC matching can be
found in this bug ticket, slated for 2.4 alpha:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1065378
I can tell you that in my experience we gained very little out of the
additional UPC lookups once we applied the initial concept code to our
system. Syndetics didn't have many covers even if we had the UPC in our
records, which it didn't always.
So your mileage may vary, but I wouldn't expect it to be very great
regardless.
