Book download plugin - help requested

Kvasnicka · 06-10-2011, 11:11 AM

Hi,

I just finished modifications of my first metadata plugin and we'ld like to extend it. I have plugin like Goodreads Metadata plugin etc. and I want for registered users on starting website www.onlineknihovna.cz alow downloading e-book (full-text book in various formats) into Calibre.

I'm expecting I have to do GUI plugin (for user`s log in, select books etc.), but how I tell Calibre: "There is a book"? I have seen some tips to have a look on gui2/ebook_download.py but how can I identify a book? Can I access via identifiers like in metadata plugins?

Many thanks for any good advice,
Paul

There's no way to do that from a metadata download plugin. What you need is to write a store plugin for the get books calibre feature.

Thanks for quick response. I'll study more development forum and when I lose I'll ask again.

Thanks

I've one more question about Metadata plugins:
How can I set/update user metadata (when I add user columns like language, translator, etc.) via metadata plugin? Is it possible?

No, it's not.
