Download metadata from Goodreads - no summary

amely · 10-25-2015, 02:47 AM

hi,
I'm sorry if I should post this somewhere else, I tried searching and unless I should post it under plugin thread this seemed ok place for it.

As of 2 days ago, when I download metadata from goodreads, I get everything except summary. Simply, section comment is empty, and when I looked better I figured there is no summary on that screen where I should choose which book if there are more options.

I did some print screens in case I can't explain myself well.
I also added log from the download metadata when I use just goodreads as source (my preferred method and the one I used successfully till now) and when I use amazon which gives me summary but I don't generally like to use it because of different way of putting titles, and no series sometimes. I just wasn't sure if it would be helpful to have one that works and one that doesn't work for me now.

I hope I'm not missing something obvious, my apologies upfront if that is case.

thank you

Perhaps they changed something, because I can't download summaries either since perhaps yesterday. Which is actually why I came here looking in the first place.

The way the description/comments/summary is displayed on the page has been changed. I'll post an updated version in the plugins thread in a few minutes to fix this.

I'm testing it now, so far it works. Everything works like before
