So basically all collections have only 1 books, only very few have a few books in it.
What am I doing wrong?
I just used the tutorial in first post and chose from which columns to create. I didn't make any other adjustments.
I actually see I asked this before, but I didn't receive an answer.
Is it impossible to have 3 collections if a book has 3 values in one column? My books have multiple values in most columns so will it make useless collections  ?
Like collections:
Genre1,genre2,genre4
genre1,genre3,genre4,genre5,genre7
Instead of
genre1
genre2
genre3...
I'd also like to know if it's possible to add a word before collection sing prefix. I mean to add word Genre before all collections from genre column. Or add Length before all collections from length column. So it would be possible to see and sort collections. |
I'd have to setup the genre column to see if there is a better way, but one simple way might be to go to the Customize menu option of the plugin, and in the Genre row that you've marked 'Create', look to the right for a column called 'split on character'. Put a comma (",") in the box. That should tell the plugin to split the group into individual collection names.
The other way is to make sure the genre column is a comma separated list of entries instead of a text field.
As for adding a word in front of the collection name, just type the word into the Prefix column in the Customization screen for whichever row you want to have a prefix shown.
