Retriving data from Goodreads
I am using the Goodreads plugin, which downloads metadata and covers. I'm interested above all the value of rating, which discharges but rounds the value. For example if the rating is 2.65, shown as 3. And it linked to the rating field (stars), and of course, show 3 stars.

It possible to linked the rating to another field, by example a custom column? I interesting retrieve the average data from Goodreads for each one of the books I have.

Regards from Lima, Perú
Blessings

No, the metadata download system does not support custom columns.

Thanks for answering. However, there's any way to download the raiting data from Goodreads?

The Goodreads_rating look like it will do what you want. I don't use it, so I don't know for sure.

Well, as long as the plugin supports searching for ratings, I don't see why not.

...

Really, I think your questions might be better asked (and answered) in the support thread for the Goodreads plugin.


EDIT: davidfor, wrong link???
