[WebOpac] [Cataloguing] ISBN / Covers

[nsid]

Hi all,

As we all know the covers are related to the ISBN number. I just noticed that having a parenthesis in the ISBN field the WebOpac doesn't show the cover.

For example:

Let's say the ISBN is 960xxxxxxx (vol. 2) or 960xxxxxxx (set) or 960xxxxxxx (acid-free paper).
In all these cases the cover is not displayed.

Maybe one idea is to make the code that relates the field with the jpeg file not to read the parenthesis.

It is not a major issue, I describe it just for the development.

hmm...I just tested a case that it did displayed the cover even with an existed parenthesis. Weird...

Ok...got it

The problem occurs when inside the parenthesis are non-latin characters.

[Verus Open Source Support]

Before fetching the image for ISBN from external source, the system picks all the numbers (and character 'X' if available) and filters out rest of the characters. In the example 960xxxxxxx (vol. 2), digit 2 after vol. must also have been added along with rest of the digits of the ISBN
