Comments column

Tanjamuse · 04-16-2016, 12:23 PM

Hi

Would it be possible to have the opportunity to choose whether or not you want the name of a comments custom column showing in book details?

And if that's not possible?

Can you add links to other metadata-fields besides Ids and comments?

Thanks

Custom columns can be excluded from showing in the Content server (A tweak)
ID: content_server_will_display

I'm not sure we understand each other

I have a custom column for evernotes, which is a "Long text, like comments, not shown in the tag browser". I would like the name of the column which is EN shown in my bookdetails

Is that possible?

No, it isn't.

Sorry, I had it backwards in thinking you wanted to HIDE it.

I don't suppose there is another way to add links to a custom column with name?

One that isn't a comments one?

You can consider adding an identifier type as described in this thread starting at post 30. Note that CC does not (yet) support these IDs.

If that doesn't work for you then no, I know of no way for you to add named links.

That would be helpful, but I would have liked to create my own custom column in which I could do that?

Sorry, but you can't.

If you want a name to show up in a comments custom column, simply add the name tot he comment itself.

@Tanjamuse - create a boilerplate note in Evernote with the Header you want and perhaps a footer to separate your custom Comment from any regular Comment. Call it it something like Calibre Comment and make it a favourite.

Now instead of pasting the Note Link into your calibre Custom comment, paste it into the boilerplate, and then copy & paste that in its entirety to the calibre custom comment.

In the attachment the green is the EN Link, the rest is the boilerplate.
