Hi there
I think it will be great if we can define multiple values for a book in "Series"field like, for example, "Tags" field. I often need to set multiple values for this field. For example: a book belonging to some series, but also it is included in some collection. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Giordanni |

Series is really 2 fields (shown as 1 in the grid), Series (name), series_index (the number) The common work around is a Custom Column (Series type) In addition, set your Preferences: Searching : Grouped Searches (a tab) and Similar Books (a Tab) |

Hi there and thanks for your reply.
IMHO, since I don't know your system design, and supposing you have a one-to-many relationship between Book and Series entities, have you consider this relationship becomes a many-to-many relationhip (with the series index in the relationship itself)? Maybe with this approach, the problem would be solved. Of course, consecuences in whole system should be analyzed. Again, it is just an idea. Regards |

Sigh. It is at least polite to advise them about what was changed and how it might affect them, especially if you *know* that it is a breaking change. But hey, not my problem. Let kiwidude figure out why the plugins no longer work.

Remember what happened when DeDRM broke and all the new users showed up here complaining about it? Yeah, that'd happen again unless plugin authors and third-party developers get advance notice and change it in time.
