Now Reading More Reloaded

I really ripped up Now Reading Reloaded to get more data from Amazon. I also used custom templates to make the libraries look better. It now extracts and stores publisher, average amazon reviews, number of reviews, publish date, and number of pages. The code is relatively large, so a number of scripts were affected by the modification. Things are still in a state of flux. When the dust settles I’ll post the modifications.

In “amazon.php” I added the ability to track extra fields like publisher, reviews, and publishing date.

            $title = $attr->Title->CDATA();
            if ( empty($title) )
                continue;

            $asin = $item->ASIN->CDATA();
            if ( empty($asin) )
                continue;

// Edit begins here
            $isbn = $attr->ISBN->CDATA();
            $publisher='';
            $date='';
            $pages='';
            $review='';
            $numreview='';
            if(array_key_exists('Publisher',$attr))
                $publisher = $attr->Publisher->CDATA();
            if(array_key_exists('PublicationDate',$attr))
                $date = $attr->PublicationDate->CDATA();
            if(array_key_exists('NumberOfPages',$attr))
                $pages = $attr->NumberOfPages->CDATA();
            if(array_key_exists('CustomerReviews',$item))
            {
               $review = $item->CustomerReviews->AverageRating->CDATA();
               $numreview=$item->CustomerReviews->TotalReviews->CDATA();
            }
            if ( $options['debugMode'] )
                robm_dump("book:", $author, $title, $asin);

            $size = "{$options['imageSize']}Image";
            if (empty($item->$size))
                continue;
            $image = $item->$size->URL->CDATA();
            if ( empty($image) )
                $image = get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content/plugins/now-reading-reloaded/no-image.png';

       //     $results[] = apply_filters('raw_amazon_results', compact('author', 'title', 'image', 'asin'));
            $results[] = apply_filters('raw_amazon_results', compact('author', 'title', 'image',
             			'asin','isbn','publisher','pages','date','review','numreview'));

In “books.php” I added the capability of following these extra fields:

    if ( !empty($reader)) {
        $reader = "AND b_reader = '$reader'";
    }

/*    $books = $wpdb->get_results("

   $books = $wpdb->get_results("
