Goodreads_rating DEPRECATED

Pr.BarnArt · 09-29-2013, 03:43 PM

There were several who asked for a plugin which can get and store the decimal rating of goodreads.
I gave it a try, just because I like to tackle a problem. But I am not a very good programmer. So this is more or less for fun and there sure will be better/smarter ways to solve this.

This thread will be deprecated.

The two plugins you need:
1. Goodreads_rating
You can find it in this thread or download it within Calibre:Preferences->Plugins-> new_plugins.

2. frating

You can find it in this thread or download it within Calibre:Preferences->Plugins-> new_plugins.

If you used the zip files from this thread, than delete those plugins and start with the new ones.

Thanks for this, I'd been hoping someone would create a plug-in like this.

The only problem I'm having is that any ebook that doesn't have a publisher listed on Goodreads doesn't get a rating downloaded. Out of the 574 ebooks I've run this against 166 didn't get a rating.

I'm guessing that if the publisher field comes back blank the plug-in can't write the "#Pr.Barnart# Rating" to calibre, maybe it might be better to write the "#Pr.Barnart# Rating" to a guaranteed field like Title.

Thanks for your comment. I am not sure if that is the problem, but I need a book/isbn without a publisher to check what is the cause of the problem .

Even is de publisher is blank, the separator and the rating should be added en frating will split them up to blank and rating.
But maybe there is a problem with the value of the publisherfield in case it is not filled. There is no need to take another field, because we can force the plugin to fill the publisher field , before adding the extra information.
I don't like to use the title or authors field, because they er also used for sorting actions.

After checking I wil give you an update, so please give me a title to check.

Thanks for looking in to this.

These two books are both showing the same issue

Ok, thank you for the examples.

I made an update for the goodreads-rating plugin 0.1.3.
You can download it at the starttopic of this thread.
The update checks if the publsher is not known en prevents the value to be Null or None.

You can test it.

Penny_Dreadful · 10-03-2013, 10:55 PM

Thank you, it's working perfectly! This is so helpful.

Missing PI icons is a sign that the PI is not Calibre 2.0 (QT5) compliant.

You have 3 choices:

Bribe someone to update the PI code:

Roll back to Calibre 1.48

Wait it out

I was not aware this was still used.
It is not an "öffical" - plugin , so it is not mentioned in Calibre.
Problems could be related to using calibre 2.0 ( with qt5).
But the goodreads_plugin is based on the orignal goodread plugin from Kiwidude.
So if that changes,the goodreads_rating should be medofied too.

I ported the two plugins (goodreads_rating en frating) for using qt5.
I think that will do.

Please try.

PS: Without bribe

The new verslons are available at the start-topic of this thread.

Good ideas/actions are ALWAYS used by someone! Thank you for updating (and for not needing a bribe!)

And thanks to theducks for suggesting I hang tight.....

Hello.

It doesn't works in Calibre 2.17 (64bits) in Windows 7. I get this:

Did you restart calibre and tried the second button after that?

Pr.BarnArt · 05-02-2015, 10:20 AM

I made a fix for the bug that was mentioned by maniattico.
( due to a function named create_custom_columns, which is not returning a num anymore)
It is important to restart calibre after creating the column.

There is a new version 2.1 available at the start-topic of this thread.
The modified goodreads plugin is the same version 1.1.8, so no changes for that file.
You can use the existing one (goodreadsX).

Thanks! Now I haven't that issue, however I don't get the plugin work.

I install both files, restart calibre. Check and create custom column, restar calibre. I do a metadata search with Goodreads_Rating, and it bring me all the metadata, included the rating in stars (in the log I can see: "Rating : 1.9").
I clic in Set decimal reting, and I get:

Code:

calibre, version 2.17.0
Updated database: Finished extracting rating from publisherfield 
- for a total of 0 books

But there is no data in the custom column

Thanks!!
