Hi, Utkarsh
First, I would test the server. Put a simple index.html file in the
server/ directory:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>TEST</h1>
</body>
</html>
See that this displays in your browser at
http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/index.html
This will ensure the directory permissions are ok that the html server
is working.
If that is ok, then the error message. Usually, I grep for something
like 'error downloading' to see where the error message originates.
I assume that the get-books.cfg shows the collection in the combobox on
the toolbar and that clicking on that shows the categories you have
defined.
By the way: I assume htmlf is a typo. Also you are probably running
SimpleHTTPServer in a command line window. This window should show any
error messages. Since the base code is python, you can also add print
statements which will appear in the window (stdout).

Hi,
I created a folder in my home directory by the name *'server'* ,
put all the extracted book collections inside it and start a localhost
server with *'python -m SimpleHTTPServer'* .
I then added that bookcollection url ( in my case it was -
*http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/en-ck12/index.htmlf*) to one of the
already available book genres in *get-books.cfg* .
On clicking that genre I get this error message - '*There was an error
downloading the list*.'

Hi, Utkarsh
I am not sure what question you are asking.
Looking at the code: the repositories seem to be defined in
get-books.cfg.
The actual mechanics of accessing the network appears to be
handled by 'feedparse', which is a python module described at
https://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/introduction.html.
What are you trying to do and what is your problem with it? Did
you add a repository to get-books.cfg? DId it show up as you
expected in the
toolbar widget? What happens if you select it? Does it show the
catalogs you entered? What happens if you select a catalog? Does
it show a list of books?
What happens when you click on a book - does it get downloaded to
the Journal?
My suggestion is to add Rachel as an online repository getting the
books from its site as a first step. Once that is working,
changing the urls to local should be easier to test since you
would already know what to expect.
http://rachelfriends.org/previews/rachelplus/modules/en-ebooks/index.html
is the site for Gutenberg. Each of the links on that page could be
a catalog. Then clicking on one to show the list of books in the
right panel.

Hi,
I am working on this feature of adding offline support to
GetBooks activity to allow users to connect to schoolservers for
offline books(stored on these servers) support. I am not able to
figure out what modifications I need to make in the parsing
technique of the activity in order to fetch(probably via
localhost server) the books from Gutenberg, Rachel collections
which I have already downloaded onto my harddisk.
Could anyone here please point me in the right direction?
