Thanks for this very interesting module.
I managed to get it working following the suggestions of the previous post "Some other step..."
I also had to install php5-curl and associated dependencies on my debian box and restart apache.

Having done that the cover image and book details appear. Bravo!

Unfortunately, it seems to be taking a long time to get the information back from open library. When the post appears on the front page it means that the front page takes a long time to appear.

Looking at the node_revisions table it appears that what is stored is the orginal ISBN or OL number. So does it do the query every time the page is opened ? Is it supposed to do that or is something going wrong for me?

Thanks for the module and any advice you can offer.

Glad you were able to get the module working and find it potentially useful. It's not you, the module does perform the request every time the page is loaded and, as you point out, this can cause some serious performance issues. The next release should store or at least cache the results of the initial post. See issue #326705: Display a message when data is unavailable.

I'm going to close this since it's a duplicate but feel free to post in the other issue if you have any more thoughts/questions.
