Multiple icons in a column when in Book List view

[ownedbycats]

Did you remember the semicologne semicolon at the end? That's my most common error.

EDIT: And obviously remove program. Another common mistake.

[Wiggo]

Yes I did, but it doesn't work

neither this

Spoiler:

program:
	def add_icon(icon, val):
		if icon == '' then icon = val else icon = icon & ':' & val fi;
		return icon
	fed;

	icon = '';
	if $languages == 'eng' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'uk.png') fi;
	icon = add_icon(
		icon, 
		switch(
			$$#toread,
			'true', 'toread.png',
			'false', 'false.png',
			''));
	if $$#formats == 'paper' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'paper.png') fi;
	if $$#redl == 'true' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'redl.png') fi;
	if $$#read == 'true' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'ok.png') fi;
	if $$#annots then 'annotations.png' fi;
	if $$#readinglist != '' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'reading_list.png') fi;
	return icon

nor that

Don't use raw_field() when testing for an empty string. With raw_field(), if the value isn't defined you get 'NONE' instead of ''.

Use either:

#normal field()
	if $#annots then icon = add_icon(icon, 'annotations.png') fi;

or

# raw_field()
	if $$#annots != 'NONE' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'annotations.png') fi;

[Wiggo]

It works!

[Wiggo]

I can't get it to work again.


I discovered this all the authors for a series and want to show an icon when there is more than one author in my #series_authors column.

Help please

[theducks]

{fieldname}:#>1

the # on the right side of the : means count

(that is in the manual (searching) online

Does not work in program

Have no clue what needs to be changed.
I only use it in saved searches.

Use an advanced rule, changed to use the icon you like, the right column (#series_authors), and the column where you want to put the icon.

The template is:

program:
	if list_count($#people, '&') > 1 then
		'cry-icon.png'
	fi

The dialog is:

[Wiggo]

hmmm...

It neither works for a single symbol in #series (here strangely the series name for all series moves nevertheless a bit to the right)

program:
	if list_count($#series_authors, '&') > 1 then
		'series_authors.png'
	fi

nor in my #symbol column

program:
	def add_icon(icon, val):
		if icon == '' then icon = val else icon = icon & ':' & val fi;
		return icon
	fed;

	icon = '';
	if $languages == 'eng' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'uk.png') fi;
	icon = add_icon(
		icon, 
		switch(
			$$#toread,
			'true', 'toread.png',
			'false', 'false.png',
			''));
	if $$#formats == 'paper' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'paper.png') fi;
	if $$#read == 'true' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'ok.png') fi;
	if $$#source == 'geniallokal' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'geniallokal.png') fi;
	if $$#source == 'wbg' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'wbg.png') fi;
	if $$#readinglist != '' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'reading_list.png') fi;
	if $$#annots != 'NONE' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'annotations.png') fi;
	if list_count($#series_authors, '&') > 1 then icon = add_icon(icon, 'series_authors.png') fi;
	return icon

It works for me.

Post a screen capture of the advanced rule. Also be sure that the icon "series_authors.png" has been added to the set of possible icons using the "Add icon" button. If you don't see that file in the dropdown list of possibilities then it cannot work. To be precise, the file "series_authors.png" must be located in the cc_icons folder in your calibre configuration folder. It should be 128x128. Larger might work. Smaller won't.

[Wiggo]

The icon works, because I was able to show it on my #symbols column for all series

The book shown in the setting is part of a multi-author series.

What kind of column is #series_authors? In particular, is it like this, including "contains names" being checked?


If "Contains names" is not checked then the template must use ',' as a separator instead of '&'

[Wiggo]

',' for the world!


btw., it's a column from your post here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=95

Once again I can't get it right.

I bought the ePub for a old paperbook and now I want to have both symbols for #format and #quelle (=source) displayed in the column.
Instead, unfortunately, none is displayed at all.
Generally asked, how are multiple entries of a column displayed?

program:
		def add_icon(icon, val):
		if icon == '' then icon = val else icon = icon & ':' & val fi;
		return icon
	fed;

	icon = '';
	if $languages == 'eng' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'uk.png') fi;
	icon = add_icon(
		icon, 
		switch(
			$$#toread,
			'true', 'toread.png',
			'false', 'false.png',
			''));
# $$ ist raw_field()
	
	if $$#formats == 'paper' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'paper.png') fi;
	if $$#formats == 'epub' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'epub.png') fi;
	if $$#formats == 'pdf' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'pdf.png') fi;
	if $$#read == 'true' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'ok.png') fi;
	if $$#quelle == 'geniallokal' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'geniallokal.png') fi;
	if $$#quelle == 'wbg' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'wbg.png') fi;
	if $$#quelle == 'RKH' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'rkh.png') fi;
	if $$#readinglist != '' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'reading_list.png') fi;
	if $$#annots != 'NONE' then icon = add_icon(icon, 'annotations.png') fi;
	return icon
