Book Burro is Extensible


Adding support for your library only requires a few pieces of information for us to write the requried code. If you are a developer you can probably write the code and email it to us and share with the world!

If you aren't a coder:

Gather the following information and email bookburro@ang.st



If you are a coder:

By creating a file called custom.js in the bookburro folder in your firefox profile directory, you can quickly determine the proper code to add your library.

var libraries = [
  {
     name: 'country_code.state_code.name_of_library',
     title: 'Human Readabily Name',
     link: 'http://example.com/?q=#{ISBN}",
     have: ['0394839129'],
     dont: ['0967865204'],
     missing: 'found no matches'
  }
];

To build the final url for an ISBN on your library, the link value is modified and #{ISBN} is replaced by the ISBN of the book.

After you create the file, each time you open the book burro panel it will reload this file. So keep tweaking the file until it works!

You can check out existing library entries at chrome://bookburro/content/data/libraries.js if have bookburro installed.
