Scraper: creators of different types

guitarzxt

I want to add a creator not listed on the page I am scraping. Can I do that with a scraper, or is that something the framework is not able to do?

Is there anyway to use a scraper and still specify two different creatorTypes for the creators?

I know the editor for the entire encyclopedia and want to add that as well as the author.

creators : FW.Xpath('//span[@id="header_author_text"]').text().append(",Leslie Stephen").split(/,/).cleanAuthor("author").cleanAuthor("editor"),

Is there anyway to get something like the above to work to assign the role of editor to the second name?

not with FW directly I'm afraid, but you can add a hook along the lines of:

hooks : { "scraperDone": function (item,doc, url) {
item.creators.push({
"firstName": "Leslie"
"lastName": "Stephen"
"creatorType": "editor"
})
}}

(Btw. a note on terminology: We refer to a "Scraper" as any translator that gets all relevant metadata from the page. Scrapers can be written with the Framework or just as regular javascript translators).

Where exactly does this code go, after the scraper items, or outside the scraper brackets?
