Web Content Server

What exactly does the content server display?

Is there a way to get the content server to display (in addition to the author/title/series) the cover page and the comments and possibly the tags?

click on an entry and it will display the cover page and comments

I get an error message when I click on an entry...
Line: 1121
Char: 4
Error: Could not get the display property. Invalid argument.
Code: 0
URL: http://????????:????/

Try using another browser, like firefox. IIRC the page has problems with Internet Explorer

That I can do... Just curious - is there a way to create a custom page for the web content server?

I know I've heard a few folks mention that you can query the database directly... but I have found any documentation on how the database is set up?

Try this thread. I don't know if this is what you want or just another attempt to do what the content server does, but it's a start

Rather than looking at Calibre2Web it might now be better to look at Calibre2opds which has subsumed the Calibre2Web functionality; enhanced it; and is also cross-platform.

itimpi... thank you! I've been looking at Calibre2opds and it looks like it might do what I'm needing. I do a lot of traveling and being able to access my library via my laptop is an awesome thing... *lol* of course being able to add books remotely to calibre would be good too... but *grins* that's just being spoiled rotten
