Custom Column
I am so rusty, I can't seem to remember how to do anything. I want to create 2 custom columns both syncing to Goodreads but neither work:
This one should show yes/no if the book if the owed box in Goodreads is ticked. 1. Owned Lookup Name: #owned Column Heading: Owned Column Type: Yes/No This one should show the date purchased if there is one in goodreads. 1. Date Purchased Lookup Name: #date_purchased Column Heading: Date Purchased Column Type: Date I know it should be templates. I just cant remember how to do it to save my life. Your help would be appreciated Last edited by tarisea; 09-18-2017 at 02:28 PM. |

There is no code for it, I can say it for sure as I was looking for it and, due to the way the API is built, I had to use an alternate method.

Care to share? Earlier in the year started keeping purchase date, source and price in my calibre library. Syncing them with Goodreads might be useful.

My use, for now, is: when I get a freebie at Amazon / Kobo, and I cannot add the book at that moment, I register it a goodreads (with the data at recommended_by, as the only way to get the owned_book_id is downloading ALL THE OWNED BOOKS). Pdta: Perhaps I'll have done it at the end of the week. Last edited by Terisa de morgan; 09-19-2017 at 03:56 AM. |

But, extending the "Add to shelf" dialog to add ownership as well should work. A checkbox to do it. An extra pain is adding configuration for the purchased date and source. The list owned books is interesting. Calling this and adding the books would be good. But, it might be better to call the Import List plugin with the result. That can do the matching and creating as needed. I can't remember if it has anything for using XML data as a source. |

Wow you guys just got way technical on me. I'm just trying to get alist of books I own and haven't read because of my very serious Amazon one click problem. So here's the thing. Goodreads is great for that s info and I can pull up the info anywhere. It is however a huge pain to enter the info in Goodreads. I was hoping to sync the info and hat way I can enter it into Calibre and then sync it to Goodreads.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious but how can you use this to sync a read percentage over from GR?
I've already got an integer column in Calibre for it. |

Any idea why isn't this enabled in the plugin? I don't think this to be very difficult. |

As to adding it, a quick glance at the API doesn't jump out at method to get the progress from GR. It is probably there, but if it in the API call I suspect it is in, it is a little more complicated than it could be. |

I don't remember having seen the status (where the progress is stored) in the review response. You get rating, review, and reading date but progress (percentage and pages), I don't remember. And without this, you only can download rating and date if the book has filled those fields.
