JavaScript integration of the online reader for reading excerpts
Cantook Hub offers a JavaScript integration that displays a link to the online reader, thus allowing online reading of publication excerpts on your website.
Once embedded on website pages featuring publications, the JavaScript code snippet displays a link for each publication for which an excerpt is available, allowing the excerpt to be opened directly in the online reader.
The JavaScript code presented below assumes that the publication identifiers (ISBN, EAN or internal key) are available locally on the target website.
Embedding the JavaScript code snippet
Adding this feature requires the following additions to the markup of each of the targeted pages on your website.
- A code snippet that refers to the JavaScript file located on the Cantook Hub instance you need to connect to.
- The tags that display a link to the online reader at the desired location.
Referencing the JavaScript file
Simply fill in the code snippet below with the various parameters, copy it and paste it at the very end of each desired page.
Be sure to place this code just before the </body> tag and never paste it more than once per page, even if it contains more than one publication.
