[Fixed]Core Author Detail Errors

Books Core | Errors
1

Hi. I’ve noticed a few errors on the Author details.

  1. The photo of Eric Brown (http://clzbooks.r.sizr.io/core/authors/small/f2/f2_50518_4_EricBrown.jpg) is a picture of the actor (Eric Brown - IMDb), not the writer (Eric Brown (writer) - Wikipedia)

  2. The photo of Elizabeth May (https://clzbooks.r.sizr.io/core/authors/small/26/26_230521_4_ElizabethMay.jpg) is a picture of the politician (Elizabeth May - Wikipedia), not the writer (Summary Bibliography: Elizabeth May)

  3. The photo of Kate Elliott (http://clzbooks.r.sizr.io/core/authors/small/a6/a6_12562_4_KateElliott.jpg) is a picture of the actor (Kate Elliott - IMDb), not the writer (Summary Bibliography: Kate Elliott). The wikipedia link also goes to the disambiguation page for Kate Elliott, not the writer’s wikipedia page.

Thank you for reporting,
I’ve updated the reported authors in CORE. :slight_smile:

Thanks! That was really quick :smile:

Hey all.
I’ve just noticed that Eric Brown and Kate Elliott seem to have reverted back to the incorrect author links again (Elizabeth May looks to be okay still).

Hello,

I’m reading this message now.
In my PC collection, I like to include as much data as possible, including author photos.
Given the specific nature of my collection (scientific books), almost no authors have their photos in the core.
Is there a quick way to send them to you so they can be added to the core? There are hundreds of photos, so one by one as in this post it’s too long.

Have a nice day.

Nicolas

Did you ever see them correct?

(Where are you looking? Which software? Web? Mobile?)

I’m pretty sure I did see them correct, but it was a while ago so I can’t swear on it.

It’s on the desktop version. I haven’t checked on the mobile one.

Alright, well my colleague says they’re still correct on Core.. so for desktop:

  1. Click menu Edit > Manage Pick Lists
  2. Click on “Author” to show the author list.
  3. Search for (authorname)
  4. Select the author and then click on the pencil icon to edit the author.
  5. This is the “Edit Author screen”. Click on the Images tab there.
  6. At the bottom, find the “Image URL”. Remove it.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Close the Manage Pick List screen.
  9. Find one book from that author in your Book Collector program and click on it.
  10. Now click on menu Edit > Update from Core.
  11. This should download new information about the book, including the new picture for the author.

Okay, that’s worked.

Thanks!
