Tomevexa Book Catalog di Francesco La Mancusa

Tomevexa Book Catalog di Francesco La Mancusa provides tools for creating and maintaining a book catalogue in WordPress. Main features include:

• A dedicated book post type and bibliographic taxonomies.
• Searches and imports by ISBN, title, ASIN, or Amazon product URL.
• Configurable bibliographic source: Open Library, Google Books, or Amazon Creators API.
• Optional Tavily web enrichment configured securely through wp-config.php; no Tavily API key is stored in the WordPress database.
• Optional Amazon Creators API integration and Amazon Associates links.
• Public author profiles with biography, dates, image attribution, and related books.
• Catalogue, search, and single-book shortcodes.
• Dynamic Gutenberg blocks for catalogue and book views.
• Dedicated local cover storage in wp-content/uploads/tomevexa-book-covers/.
• Optional AI-generated original catalogue covers through the WordPress AI Client when a compatible image provider is configured.
• Accessible front-end output with keyboard-focusable cover links, meaningful cover text for assistive technology, semantic book metadata, live search status messages, visible focus indicators, reduced-motion support, and forced-colors support.

Imported books are saved as drafts so an editor can review them before publication. New cover files downloaded or generated by Tomevexa are stored in the plugin-specific tomevexa-book-covers uploads directory. Accessibility Tomevexa is designed so that the public catalogue can be navigated with a keyboard and understood with assistive technologies. Book-cover images in catalogue cards are links to the corresponding book page. These cover links are keyboard-focusable and expose an explicit accessible name identifying the image as the book cover and stating that the link opens the book page. Cover images also include meaningful alternative text based on the book title. Published books use the public tomevexa_book permalink. On a single-book page, Tomevexa adds a semantic book-details section containing the cover and available bibliographic metadata before the editor-managed book content. Search and result areas use labelled regions and live status messages, interactive controls have visible focus indicators, and the stylesheet includes reduced-motion and forced-colors accommodations. Accessibility also depends on the active WordPress theme and on content entered by site editors. Site owners should therefore test their complete front end with keyboard navigation and their preferred assistive technologies.
