[Isis-users] virtual library

[De Smet Egbert]

Hello,

in general we can claim that ABCD can do all what is possible in a browser with HTML, including showing pictures, e.g. covers of books, along with text. Is that what you mean ? In fact in the CEPAL database example (biblo), there are some illustrations of this, but one has to check the exact availability of the demo-pictures in the exact locations as referred to by the '<A HREF=...>' parts in the PFT's, since not all of them were included in the newer installation packages. Same for the loan-users database : their pictures should be visible along with their data.

Hi guys
I have constructed a virtual library using the abcd software and my database is on the windows server 2003. However, my challenge is on the visual presentation of my documents. It seems with abcd it is not possible to have the visuals of the documents presented whereby one can be able to see both the information of the document and the cover photo showing what the document looks like.

Also is it possible to bind php with win/isis which is possible with other platforms like wordpress? From my understanding abcd uses an executable engine which is effective mainly in the search aspects but difficult to manipulate when it comes to the visualization of documents in the virtual library. If there is anyone who can assist I would appreciate.
Thanks,
Tanya
