COPS : Calibre OPDS PHP Server

[eXistenZ]

Hi Vlad59

I manually updated COPS on my Synology NAS to RC02, all seems to work properly.
I like very much the new Bootstrap template, but I think I found a bug in it.

In Calibre I use a Custom Serie column named "COLLANA", in COPS it is displayed properly.
But now if I enable Bootstrap template, entering in "COLLANA" I can see all the series contained in it, BUT the book count badge in the down right corner of each box is 0, it's only a display issue because if I enter in one of the series under "COLLANA" all the books are displayed as expected.

I hope my explanation is clear, english is not my primary language as you can see...

I have calibre/cops library with a number of books in both epub, pdf and azw3 format.

I have set up the emailing function and can receive the books from the cops server just fine on my test email-address.

The problem is that I receive the books in epub format and I would like to get the azw3 for the kindle.

How do I make sure that the email-function chooses azw3 if it is there, mobi next and so on? Getting epub onto a kindle is not much use in itself.

Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found? How does COPS determine what book format to send if several formats are present?

I hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

I would like to say otherwise that cops is a very neat piece of software!

Best,

Asbjørn (Denmark)

Good question!

Sometimes (not very often, but ....) I would like the possibility to mail a PDF instead of an epub (if both are present of course).

Hi,

it is correct that if I have URL rewrite on, i can use COPS with my ipad, but not with the Kobo and vice-versa?

thanks,

M

[mariosipad]

Don't know about a Kobo (as I do not have one) but I use an iPad without "URL rewrite=on".

And it works.

Hi,

I've installed Cops on my dedicated server running nginx. But I can't managed to make it work properly. When I launch it with myip/cops, this appears :

if (!isset($config)) $config = array(); $config['calibre_directory'] = '/home/user/ebooks/'; $config['calibre_internal_directory'] = '/ebooks/'; $config['cops_full_url'] = ''; $config['cops_x_accel_redirect'] = "X-Accel-Redirect"; $config['cops_use_url_rewriting'] = "1";

which is the content of the config_local.php file. What am i doing wrong ?

EDIT : here's a capture of the check configuration page => http://awesomescreenshot.com/07b3ai3wad

Thx a lot !

[mariosipad]

It's either something with nginx (can't help you there as I do not use it) or something with the caliber_directory.

1. is there a file named "metadate.db" in /home/user/ebooks ?
2. what are the permissions (read/write) on this file and on the directory? (just to try and then change back!, change the permissions of /home/user/ebooks to 777) -> chmod 777 /home/user/ebook

Does it work now? (COPS, rather the database used by COPS seems to need certain read rights on metadata.db to work)

[lapin25]

There's a metadata.db file in the /home/user/ebooks directory. It had 600 permissions. I changed to 777. Cops still doesn't work.

Something weird : if I copy metadata.db to /var/www/cops, there's a slight change : same message but I can see "COPS". And the color of the page changes to grey. I think i'm coming closer to the solution. Am i not ?

What is the output of checkconfig.php now?

And what if you change $config['calibre_internal_directory'] = '/ebooks/'; to $config['calibre_internal_directory'] = ''; ?

[lapin25]

It's the same output, with or without the change you talk about : http://i.imgur.com/GDRwtzq.png

And if I delete the medatada.db file in the /var/www/cops directory, the last list is not ok ! It says "File ./metadata.db not found, Please check".



(thank you by the way, mariosipad

[mariosipad]

Maybe, (fingers crossed):

did you use in config_local.php

$config['calibre_directory'] = /ebooks/';

instead of

$config['calibre_directory'] = '/ebooks/';

?

[lapin25]

It missed the ' before the path, indeed. But the output is sadly still the same.

[lapin25]

Well, I deleted and rewrote the config_local.php file : it's working now. Thanks again mariosipad.

The following issue has been solved by rebooting the synology NAS.
-------------------

Hello,

Just discovered this excellent software !

No matter what parameter I use for $config['cops_thumbnail_handling'], I can't get the covers to show (I have a broken image icon instead). (except for a fixed image - works well).
All the rest works perfectly.
I run COPS 1.0.0RC2 on a synology DS212 with DSM 5.3.
Covers are OK in Calibre.
In each book directory, I have a file cover.jpg (not the name of the book.jpg - I don't know if this is the normal setup). The cover is also included in the books metadata.

Any idea ?
Thanks
Michel

The following issue has been solved : I had used "." for $config['cops_server_side_render'], which is apparently not a good idea !

Ooops,

HTML suddenly stoppod working..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$' in /volume1/web/BookServer/COPS/resources/doT-php/doT.php(91) : runtime-created function on line 14 Fatal error: Function name must be a string in /volume1/web/BookServer/COPS/base.php on line 36

Even with reinstall...

The OPDS seems still ok...

What should I do ?
