Hi, Gonzalo
From the code, GetBooks uses feedparser. Pathagar is a server while
GetBooks is a client. In this case, Utkarsh is delivering the content by
html. I think more testing is needed to see where the problem might be.
Thanks for your help,
Tony

GetBooks get the list and the books using the OPDS protocol.
Pathagar [1] is a book server who serves that protocol, and is (or
was) included in the school server.
Pathagar has tools to import a directory of books in his own database,
looks like you need work in the schoolserver to include Rachel and
gutemberg books
in Pathagar.
Then you only need add a new server in get-books.cfg

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?
