    Dear John
    I would like to use your plugin on a new site that I want to prototype in the next week.
    A user upon completing a book logs on to the site to a registration form and enters the ISBN number and the form is then populated automatically using the data supplied by your plugin.

    I’m not a programmer but slowly getting to grips with WordPress and have put together a couple of sites.
    I have called your plugin by using [openbook booknumber=????????}
    How can I get this to pop up in a form so that the user enters the ISBN dynamically?

    Thanks for your help

    Kind regards

    Curtis

    Hi Curtis, OpenBook currently only provides this function to blog authors, not to online visitors. It’s a good idea, but there are no current plans for new features. Will keep your idea in mind.

    Hmmm, one thought. OpenBook comes with a toolbar button. When clicked, it shows a ‘wizard” in which users can enter an ISBN, and preview the results from Open Library before inserting it into a blog post. If your users have a WordPress login, and access to a WordPress blog post editor, they will see the OpenBook button on their toolbar, and can use it as you suggest.
