Updating the covers for the WWW books #142

Closed joereddington closed 2 years ago

The homepage for the White Water Writers project is: https://whitewaterwriters.com/

There should be a page for each individual book at https://whitewaterwriters.com/portfolio.html However, not all books are there because not all books have cover images.

The book pages are generated automatially from a spreadsheet. You can find a copy of the spreadsheet here (it's a copy because the original has non-public data in it - this one has all the information you need for this task - it's also fine for you to edit it if you like, but don't expect those edits to affect anything)

When you look at the spreadsheet you'll see that each book camp has a 'slug' a unique identifier that identifies the camp uniquely. In this folder you'll find all the cover images we have. You will note that they are all the slug of the camp followed by '.png'. You'll also note that there are about 170ish of them but there are 200 odd books in the spreadsheet, so 30 are missing.

We need a folder that contains the cover images for every book we've produced, labled with "slug" and in png format. The way I get the covers is by going to the relevent amazon link and taking a careful screenshot on the cover preview, but other approaches are equally valid.

Joe is happy to get the folder in any reasonable format including:

Bonus context you don't need but might be interested in.

Some updates have happened. A zip file was supplied and added in this commit: https://github.com/eQualityTime/whitewaterwriters-site/commit/ef32e5ff64d49f3f3165ff26c7dfe1703c45b784

I ran the update script and fixed the odd bug in my code. There has been a significant improvement in the https://whitewaterwriters.com/portfolio.html page - that's excellent, but unfortunately there are 31 covers still missing (that's more than I originally through, there must have been many many more originally. At least one is a simple mispelling (Disk rather than Disc, which is short for discovery) but I don't believe that covers all of them.

I've left the missing images live on https://whitewaterwriters.com/portfolio.html for the time being so that it's easy to fix. The alt text for the missing images gives the slug and title like so:

Please add the remaining images (another zip folder is fine)

This has been completed and looks great.
