ownedbycats · 09-13-2024, 04:59 PM

On the Kobo device, the SeriesNumber row in the content table is a text column rather than an integer or float. Both null results and things like "1-4" are valid entries.

There's two things I'd like to know if are possible to do via plugboards:

1. For series omnibuses, I use series_indexes of x.y — 1.04 or 5.07. Is it possible to replace the period with a dash and remove the extra 0 to display as 1-4 on the Kobo?

2. For unnumbered series, I use a series_index of 0.0. This means a lot of "Series Name - 0"s on my device. Is it possible to return a null value instead?
