EDIT: A custom column can be setup to create an entry for a Series if there is one and if not use the Author. But then if you limit to 3 books in the plugin, it may be that if you have only 2 books in a series your custom column will show the series name but the plugin will skip it because it has too few books - and the book won't be put into a collection for the author either. I don't see any obvious way in the custom column template language to count the number of books for a series (but I only just looked) which is what is needed. Otherwise the plugin would have to be updated to support some kind of template language to allow comparisons which is probably a bit much. I'll look again at template language - it may be quite simple or even require another plugin  |
It's a relatively simple solution. The trick is to set up two custom columns like this:
Create custom column ->
Lookup name: coll_series
Column heading : Collection (series)
Column type: "Column built from other columns"
Template box: {series:| [ | ] }
Create custom column ->
Lookup name: coll_author
Column heading : Collection (author)
Column type: "Column built from other columns"
Template box: {series:'test($,'',field('authors'))'}
The non-overlaping series and author collections can now be controlled individually.
Kindle Collections -> Customise collections
Action : create
Calibe source : Collection (author)
Minimum : 2
Action : create
Calibe source : Collection (series)
Minimum : 1
