OpenBook WordPress Plugin: Open Source Access to Bibliographic Data
John Miedema schreibt in der neuen Code4Lib-Ausgabe über sein OpenBook WordPress Plugin
OpenBook is a WordPress PHP plugin that implements the Open Library APIs to insert book covers, titles, authors and publishers into web pages. The motive behind the development was to provide an easy alterative to the common practice of linking to Amazon. Open Library was selected as a data source because it is both open source and open data.The plugin is useful for book reviewers, library webmasters, anyone who wants to put book covers and data on their WordPress blog or website. The plugin also allows users to add links to publisher websites, a feature that was considered significant to independent publishers.
Damit wäre die Arbeit an ISBN2WP wohl weitgehend überflüssig und wird folglich eingestellt.
Hi, I took a look at ISBN2WP. I was able to insert bibliographic data using your plugin, though I was getting some errors too:
Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource …
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource …
Nice to see others thinking along the same lines. Hope to see future versions of your plugin.
Regards.

Sorry for my late answer. I’m not sure wether I will further develop my plugin. I see no sense in parallel development and your plugin is clearly better than mine.
