## Description

Supplying an [ISBN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number)(
and, optionally, a Title) will display a cover image of the relevant book with a
link to that book’s page on [Google Books](https://books.google.co.za/) using the
Google Books API.

Using the Widget you can choose whether to:

 * Force all calls to Google to be HTTPS, instead of the API returned HTTP
 * Pad the Image (selected by default, uses internal CSS)
 * Display a Box-Shadow (selected by default, uses internal CSS)
 * Choose Alternate Google Country (defaults to « Worldwide »)

as well as

 * Decide whether you would like to use a Title
 * Define the ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 of the book.

## FAQ

### I get a ‘*Warning: file_get_contents … : failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden*’ Error in my logs and no books are displayed. Why is this happening?

Your web-site has been configure not to allow outgoing HTTP requests and you have‘
Use Google API’ enabled.

Please de-select the ‘Use Google API’ option to use the direct connection instead.

### I get a ‘*No Google Books Entry Found for ISBN:NUMBER*’ on my Blog… Why?

Sometimes Google Books does not return any valid responses on ISBNs. Try the following:

 1. See if you can find an alternate ISBN for the book
 2. Toggle the « Use Google API » option
 3. Find the eBook on Google’s Books Web Page and use its ISBN

### Are you planing to insert other sources than Google Books to the Currently Reading widget?

I’ll have a look into supporting Amazon, though they do make you jump through hoops
to use their API (which is the reason I settled on using Google Books to start with).

### Is there a way to get this plugin to do a library of all of your books into WordPress?

It’s not currently possible with this plugin, no.

I’ll give it a bit of thought and see if I can extend it to do that; but it will
most likely need the creation of an alternate plugin to do that.

This would likely require its own database table to do properly, as well…
