Dedicated identifier custom column converted into link

[Comfy.n]

Hi,

I want to have a dedicated column for the Goodreads identifier, in order to display it in Book Details.

I'm aware that {identifiers:select(goodreads)} can replicate the identifier in text form, however I wanted it to behave just like the default identifiers column, as it allows converting the identifiers into links.

The default identifiers column has a clickable Goodreads link, however at the moment I'd prefer to have a dedicated one that can display just the GR link.

I've tried...

goodreads:{identifiers:select(goodreads)}

...hoping for some magic to take place but it didn't happen.

I'm not sure what you want to display. Do you want "Goodreads" or do you want "Goodreads:12345"?

Assuming you want to see "Goodreads:12345" as a link and that the text column has "Contains HTML" checked, this should work:

program:
	gr_id = select($identifiers, 'goodreads');
	if gr_id then
		gr_id = 'goodreads:' & gr_id;
		l = urls_from_identifiers(gr_id, '');
		l = re(l, '>goodreads<', '>' & capitalize(gr_id) & '<')
	else
		l = ''
	fi

If you don't want to see the actual ID then use this:

program:
	gr_id = select($identifiers, 'goodreads');
	urls_from_identifiers('goodreads:' & gr_id, '')

And just like that, magic has happened. Thanks so much Chaley!

I think one of the reasons I want this, currently, is to leave more space for other items in Details panel!

The first template looks nicer to me, though the second is enough for what I had in mind.

Given that screenshot I suspect that this template is more to your liking. The "Goodreads:" in the identifier is redundant, given the column name. This template shows only the identifier value without the "goodreads:" prefix. It is also slightly faster.

program:
	gr_id = select($identifiers, 'goodreads');
	if gr_id then
		l = urls_from_identifiers( 'goodreads:' & gr_id, '');
		l = re(l, '>goodreads<', '>' & gr_id & '<')
	else
		l = ''
	fi

Thanks, I'm going to use this to eliminate the redundancy

A trifle OT: How did you create that 2 column table in what I assume is an Author note:



Is there a there a hidden table tool a'la Summernote

It's a tweaked version of GR author notes plugin (Terisa has posted a fixed version here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...8&postcount=54).

I just edited a bit the html inside its authornotes.py and changed the plugin name to GR Author notes "2". Modified plugin is attached.

I took a look at Summernotes and couldn't figure how to install it. In the past I'd use Macromedia Dreamweaver for stuff like this (I call it mixed code). This time I used a text editor and some (a lot of, actually...) Calibre restarts.

And I had to tweak the BD styling with some negative margin:

#_bio div {margin-left: -30px !important;    }

(Also, I can't remember where I got a Bookerly font download, maybe here, but it's necessary to have it installed for it to look exactly like that screencap, otherwise you can do search and replace for Bookerly in authornotes.py)

Relevant code for the table is in lines 125-132:

I have a modified tweak for BD font-size too:

# Change the font size of the Book details panel in the interface

change_book_details_font_size_by = -1

I was hoping you'd found a table widget chaley had squirreled away in the long text editor Don't have time or inclination to be delving into rats nests of td, /tr, br etc tags when I want to insert a row in table, I'll stick to embedded onenote URLs..

Maybe a new feature for upcoming 7.21 version?
