[GUI Plugin] Goodreads Sync

[kiwidude]

@rifka - not sure I understand as has been a while, but I thought when you have an exclusive shelf if you remove a book from it then it will still be added to your Read shelf? That is a goodreads feature... or at least I thought it used to be.

[rifka]

Read is an Exclusive shelf. But you can make other shelves Exclusive as well. I just want to be able to "Remove From My Books" from Calibre. Delete it from my collection all together.

[hakan42]

Is there a way to sync which *shelf* a book is on? Perhaps at least the "exclusive" shelves?

I would like to create virtual libraries based on that information

[kiwidude]

@hakan - you can use the "Download shelves as tags" option, or for each shelf setup a sync rule to populate a value in a custom column.

[sbin]

It looks like the plugin isn't working with the new db.
Here's the error I get:

I'm running calibre 0.9.44 on OS X 10.8.4.
If I switch back to the old db, everything works fine.

Is there a way to have Goodreads sync two ratings columns in Calibre? One for my GR ratings and one for the overall GR rating?

Same here. 0.9.44 on Windows 8 64 bit, switching back to olddb works, newdb gives error.

Here is what I did to maintain my own rating separate from the calibre rating which is populated by the Meta-data update processing.

I set up a new Rating field (see screen shot for details) to store My Rating. This is the field I have the Goodreads Sync process work with (read, set, store).

This way, the existing calibre Rating field will continue to be populated by the Meta-data update processing. Note: Use the [Metadata Source Plugin] Goodreads plug-in to retrieve meta-data from Goodreads.

[sbin]

I've just installed the new version 1.0 of calibre, the plugin still doesn't work (I wasn't expecting it to, to be honest).
Here's the same error:

With the new version you can't switch back to the older db, so I really hope this will get fixed soon

[kiwidude]

@sbin/KarzyKiwi - it seems I made a fix for that error a long while ago (8th Jun according to the changelog I have) but for some reason did not upload it to MobileRead. Will do so shortly...

[kiwidude]

Changes in this release:

• Replace some incorrect legacy code that was looking up the old ISBN field in the database instead of identifiers.
• Fix for when Goodreads error is thrown during Add to Shelf to ensure a second error is not displayed to user.

[Ravensknight]

Thanks Kiwi! I love this plugin, and while I know I've said it before, everytime you release a new update it shows me that you're committed, thanks yet again.

[Krazykiwi]

From one kiwi to another, thanks a ton

Having issues with the latest plugin. Copy of details below:

Ignore above. I re-installed the plugin and all seems to be working.
