Book cover display on WebOPAC for New Arrivals as Newsletter

[KishMun]

Hello,

I have published three new arrivals in my library on the front page using the New Arrivals as Newsletter function under OPAC via the Librarian Interface. However, the covers do not display.

I attempted to publish the list again, this time adding an additional book. However, the three mentioned before did not display, and the image displayed for the fourth was not the image uploaded for the book.

The env_var.txt has the right settings, but the problem still persist.

Please provide some assistance. I am using version 3.0.4 Release 2, Update 2

Thanks.

Please go to C:/NewGenLibFiles/FormLetterTemplates
Open file NewArrivalsNewsLetterEmail.ftl using a Text Editor. Preferable used Notepad++
Go to line 258
Instead korvm038 or localhost, change it to the IP address of your NGL Server

Good afternoon,

We located line 258 in file NewArrivalsNewsLetterEmail.ftl and replaced korvm038 with the IP address of the NGL server. The server was then restarted. However, the covers still did not appear on the OPAC front page.

Is there anything else we can try?

Thanks.

If you are mentioning about Book Covers at the time of New Arrivals in the OPAC then see the notes below
In order to fetch the Book Covers; NGL follows the below procedure
1. NGL connects to various free Book cover resources and makes a search by ISBN. If a book cover is found then it stores a copy in C:/NGL3/BookCovers directory. So that from second time it doesn't make a search, it fetches book cover stored locally

2. However remember that all books' covers may not be available in the above sites. In such case,
    a. Scan the Book cover of the Book
    b. Go to Search Catalogue and search for the book
    c. Modify the above book's catalogue
    d. In the catalogue screen go to Other Actions -> Digital attachments
    e. You have an option to upload Book Cover. Select the image scanned in 2 a
    f. Save changes to Catalogue record
    g. Now make a Search in OPAC, you will see the book cover scanned

Thank you for your response.

Our issue is that the books covers, those uploaded and those available from the free sites, do now show.

All books are uploaded with a scanned cover. However, the Newsletter display is not picking up the scanned covers, or the free covers.

We tried modifying the code as was suggested, but nothing changed.

Is there any other solution?

Thanks.
