Book Covers

  • Each book cover needs to be uploaded to the /images folder
  • Each book cover needs to be named like this: 9780813579092.jpg
  • When book covers are processed each day, they are moved to the /images/archive folder
  • Covers that remain in the /images folder after processing are either not live books on the website or have incorrect filenames
  • Files in .TIF or .GIF format will not be processed – only .JPG

Data Files

The data import process runs each day at 10:20pm ET.

There are THREE different data files that are used to update the metadata on the site:

  • Physical books
    This file is uploaded by Firebrand to the top level of the FTP.
    The file is an incremental / delta ONIX file with the filename structure:
       Rutgers_{mmddyyyy}_onix21.xml
       Example: Rutgers_06252016_onix21.xml
    When the feed runs it looks for the file with the most recent date.
  • Ebooks
    This file is uploaded by Firebrand to the /data folder in the FTP.
    The file is an incremental / delta ONIX file with the filename structure:
       RutgersUniversityPress{yyyymmdd}_P{6-digit number}_eBooks_Supadu_onix21.xml
       Example: RutgersUniversityPress201606300110_P489359_eBooks_Supadu_onix21.xml
    When the feed runs it looks for the file with the most recent date.
  • Marketing Dump
    This file is uploaded by Rutgers (Brice) to the /data folder in the FTP.
    The file is a full data refresh CSV with the filename structure:
       RUP_{yyyymmdd}_supplemental_marketing_dump.csv
       Example: RUP_20160630_supplemental_marketing_dump.csv
    When the feed runs it looks for the file with the most recent date.

Add to Cart Link

Supadü manages the cart link that appears on product pages but the cart is provided by Elan.

The cart link contains a BookID that is unique for each product.

Example cart link:

http://securecart.longleafservices.org/FormParser.aspx?BookID=81357242&SiteID=101

The 8-digit book ID is derived from the ISBN-13 (as per Tom Franklin at UNC):

  • It’s the ISBN-13 with the first four digits removed and the final, checksum digit removed as well
