Description:

Usefulness restricted to IBList Data Editors.
Copy Product Description from Amazon. Paste values into IBL WEM Manifest edit boxes. Version 1.9
2008-05-05 improved publisher-name matching
2008-04-28 dimension copy/paste may have sometimes failed - fixed
2008-04-15 extra publisher-name match-up testing
2008-03-30 regex date extraction, yet again... amazon was too chaotic/clever for me - now tackled from another angle, hopefully? this particular problem is now solved.
2008-03-23 Found another trap for regex month extract, fixed - again!
2008-03-22 ISBN-13 wasn't being reset on new page load - fixed
2008-01-29 Fixed regex bug r.e. month extraction
2008-03-09 Defaults to isbn-13, fallback to isbn-10
2008-01-29 Fixed intl date capture and a sometime date paste failure.

www.iblist.com Data Editors often have to rely on details from Amazon when entering data into the IBList book database. The tedious aspect for me was always trying to remember the data without swapping constantly to-and-fro trying to ensure I had all the info entered correctly.

In Amazon this script will place a "Copy Product Details" button alongside Amazon's Product Details heading. Press this button to store the details required by the "Add a Manifest" section of a WEM entry.

In IBList's Manifest WEM entry ("Add a Manifest OR "Edit Manifest") section this script will place a "Paste Product Details" button alongside the Manifest header. Press this button after copying the details from Amazon.

The only caveat I have to offer is that you must check that the Publisher name is correct - Amazon & IBList often call the same publisher by -slightly- different names.

  DESCRIPTION
  Allows a DE to copy the book 'Product Details' from Amazon and paste them into
  an IBList 'Add a Manifestation' form.
 
  Firefox & IE7 users can view the currently 'saved' values by right-clicking
    the IE7Pro/Greasemonkey icon and choosing 'View' from "User Script Commands"
   
  Firefox users also have the option of viewing the saved values via...
  about:config
    amazon2wem
      - see the various stored values with this prefix

/** changelog
2008-05-05
  Improved Publisher-name matching
2008-04-28
  Bugfix - corrected error where sometimes dimensions would not copy
2008-04-09
  Inserted another layer of testing for publisher matchup
    - exact match ?
    - try first two words (<< new)
    - finally, try first word match
2008-03-30
  Somehow I managed to screw-up the update process for Greasemonkey users -
    UNINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSION before installing this one 
    (IMPORTANT!! - select "Also uninstall associated preferences")
  regex date extraction, amazon was too chaotic/clever for me - so I decided to attack from another angle, hopefully? this particular problem is now solved
2008-03-23
  Amazon found another way to trip up regex month extraction - solved again!
2008-03-22
  All 'saved' vars should be reset prior to 'Copy' -- isbn-13 wasn't included in the reset :BLUSH:
    If Amazon had NO isbn-13, ... IBL paste would WRONGLY use whatever isbn-13 was last stored.
2008-03-11
  Finally fixed the non-handling of international dates,
  plus fixed the date paste - where a day not specified caused paste failure for all of published date
  New:
    added the excellent SCRIPT UPDATE CHECKER by 'Jarett' http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/20145
2008-03-09
  ISBN, if present copy ISBN-13. Pastes ISBN-13 if present, otherwise fallback to ISBN-10
2008-01-13
  New:
  Added Month/Day copy & paste to conform to new IBL data entry cells.
  Added copy button to "Edit Manifestation" data screen.
2007-11-03
  New:
    Think it is now worthy of a version 1.0 release.
    as it's now cross-browser - Firefox, IE7
2007-09-30
  improved regex matching
  metric to imperial book size conversion
2007-08-??
  Firefox release ONLY
