Destination Field: Author field.
Template: {series_index:|[|]} {title}
Destination Field: Title field.
It will replace the comma and space with an underscore, add the series (in parentheses) to the Author field, and the index (in brackets) to the Title field.
It will display like this:
[1] Homeland
Salvatore_R.A. (The Dark Elf Trilogy) |
Could someone walk me through this?
I enter (in the author column) my author lastname, firstname - and "use author sort for author" - is there something else I need to do in this step?
In Metadata plugboards, I add new plugboard, with format = any format and device =any device, then "Source Template: {author_sort:re(\, ,_)} {series:|(|)}
Destination Field: Author field."
This is the part I"m not sure about
:
If in Preferences>sending book to device - save templete, I change "{author_sort}/{title}" to "{series_index:|[|]} {title}", where do I put Destination Field: Title field.
[/code]
I'm learning one step at a time, here and any help would be most appreciated.
