ISBN? 

Hi,

I am using the repository module as a library of pdf files where

certain users can download them.

My problem is that some pdf files are e-books which have their own ISBN.

How can I add a ISBN category which people can use it to search and download?

thanks

It's a bit of a hack in 3.X .. ( much easier in 4.0 which is not available yet :) )

If you're not using the Summary field, I would suggest relabelling the Summary Field as 'ISBN' on your form.html template file ( if the form.html file you are using doesn't have an input tag for [SUMMARY]  just add one) , then modify your template.html file to simply display the ISBN number somewhere (ie:   ISBN: [SUMMARY]  )

Then when upoading a pdf, enter the ISBN in the ISBN field. It will be displayed on the repository module, and since the summary field is searched when using the repository's search function, users should be able to enter the ISBN, hit search and find the book.

Hi Steve, I am using the filelist template. I added the [SUMMARY] token, in the form.html and form.xml files. My problem is in the template.html file. Do I have to add this: [ISBN] or ISBN:[SUMMARY]? what do I have to put in the template.xml file? thanks

Hi Steve,

what I managed so far is to delete the summary textbox...

If I am correct I need to modify 4 files in the templates/filelist directory.

template.xml(added token [SUMMARY])

template.html(added token ISBN:[SUMMARY])

form.xml(added token [ISBN]

form.html(added token [DNNLABEL :SUMMARY] [ISBN])

What did I do wrong??

thanks
