That plugin offers shortcodes and widgets so you can display any public
LibraryThing books collection in WordPress.
[books username=”username”]
Displays the books of the given LibraryThing user. This shortcode only uses the
LibraryThing API and will work even if you don’t provide an AWS key pair.
Optional attributes are:
count: Maximum number of books to show (default 20)sort_by: Sort order, eitherentry_REVorrandomtemplate: Template to use to render the list of books. Eithercoverorlisttags: Comma separated list of tags
[book isbn=”isbn”]
Displays the book with the given ISBN number. This shortcode uses the Amazon
Product Advertising API and will not work if you don’t provide an AWS key pair.
Also, not all ISBN can be found on all Amazon stores so you will have to carefully
choose which store to use in the settings.
Optional attributes are:
template: Template to use to render the list of books. Onlybook-single
Customization
You can add new template or customize the existing ones by adding your own
version in a folder named librarything in the wp-content folder on your
server or in your theme folder. The name of the template file id the name of
the template with the .php extension (e.g: the covers template file name
is covers.php).
