multiple authors
I like the plugin.
Of course, it would be nice if you could account for multiple authors.
Aren't you essentially collecting this information anyway? Since ABC is a single text field, can't you just list counts for authors in order of id, separated by commas, e. g. Mikado, Rogers & Hammerstein, ABC= "7, 9" => "Rogers, Hammerstein"?
Of course, I ask out of ignorance, as I am not a programmer, and haven't the slightest idea how you are doing the counting, and perhaps it would necessitate a few additional passes, thereby taking a bit longer, but it seems to be fast enough anyway.
Steps:
list individual authors
assign a count to each, including wherever they appear
for each book, assemble ABC value by stringing together values for each authors in order.
Is that much different than what you do now?
Any, nice plugin. It has come in quite handy. If the ABC were clickable in the book details, that would be a plus, of course...
