This could be nice, if a content creator wants to recommend a few books from the library; just insert something like 

  [[millennium:isbn=123456789x]]
  [[millennium:record=b123456]]
  [[millennium:http://mylibrary.org/record=b123456]]
  [[millennium:http://mylibrary.org/record=b123456:holdings]]
  [[millennium:http://mylibrary.org/record=b123456:coverimage,title,holdings]]

and the full record (or only certain fields) would get inserted into the node.

Maybe it could use tokens instead of an input filter... do some research =)

A very good idea! I have'nt studied the Token module, but it seems it will be part of Drupal 7: http://drupal.org/node/113614
Maybe combined with a content editor and an easy-to use button which generates these placeholders, this would be a killer feature!

This was rather easy, yeah!

The only thing is that loading the items takes a bit, so some caching might be in order...

Instructions:
1) Apply patch
2) Enable the new module "Millennium Filter"
3) Go to admin/settings/filters and click "configure" beside one of the enabled input formats.
4) Find the checkbox for "Millennium Filter", and click "Save configuration"
5) Create new content with that input format; you can add a record display for any record using this syntax:

   {{millennium|b123456}}
   {{millennium|i123456}}
   {{millennium|http://example.org/record=b123456}}

The first two work only for the currently-configured WebOPAC in admin/settings/millennium. The last one works for any WebOPAC anywhere, whether it's configured or not. Nodes are not imported, just scraped from the source OPAC and displayed on-the-fly.

Forgot to mention that any URL that leads to a *single* record page *should* work; however I did some testing and the order of the Filter (see for example /admin/settings/filters/1/order) might send an already-filtered URL string to the module, resulting in an error message.

Reopening because it should cache failed requests to prevent slowness during page building.
