How to change the ISBN feature to reflect your affiliation with Amazon and Barnes and Noble
!!Caution!!
This is a hack to modify your MediaWiki - Do so at your own risk.
MediaWiki version 1.6.3
This is for MediaWiki version 1.6.3 I'm sure other versions would be similar.
Code
Starting at Line Number 166 In the File "/languages/language.php"
I changed it from:
/* private */ $wgBookstoreListEn = array( 'AddALL' => 'http://www.addall.com/New/Partner.cgi?query=$1&type=ISBN', 'PriceSCAN' => 'http://www.pricescan.com/books/bookDetail.asp?isbn=$1', 'Barnes & Noble' => 'http://search.barnesandnoble.com/bookSearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=$1', 'Amazon.com' => 'http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=$1' );
To:
/* private */ $wgBookstoreListEn = array( // 'AddALL' => 'http://www.addall.com/New/Partner.cgi?query=$1&type=ISBN', // 'PriceSCAN' => 'http://www.pricescan.com/books/bookDetail.asp?isbn=$1', 'Barnes & Noble' => 'http://service.bfast.com/bfast/click?bfmid=2181&sourceid=41614264&bfpid=$1&bfmtype=book', 'Amazon.com' => 'http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&tag=tsickist-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&path=ISBN=$1' );
I commented out AddALL and PriceSCAN because I don't have an affiliation with them. This is purely optional.
Note be sure to replace:
sourceid="41614264" with your Barnes and Noble number tag=tsickist-20 with your Amazon Code
Or you can leave mine and help me make $ :)
