for those people who also wish to be able to search "B&N", "books by isbn" (great site for covers) or goodreads and have them on the search the Internet plugin, here is what I added to the tweaks section.
Let's be honest here, the goodreads links are a must :-) I have added the icons just add them in he calibre/resources/images folder Code:
# Specify the submenus to appear on the 'Search the internet' plugin menu. # Menu items are specified as a triple of: ('Menu text', 'Image', 'Url') # 'Menu text' - The name to display in the sub-menu. Specify None for a separator. # 'Image' - Name of the image file to use as a menu icon. Specify None if no image. # Image .png files should be placed in the \resources\images folder. # 'Url' - URL of the website to launch, with tokens that are substituted # when the menu item is click based on the currently selected book. # The possible token values you can place in the URL are: # {title} - The title for the first selected book # {author} - The author for the first selected book # {isbn} - The ISBN for the first selected book stip_search_internet_menus = [ ('FantasticFiction for Author', 'stip_fantastic_fiction.png', 'http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/search/?searchfor=author&keywords={author}'), ('FantasticFiction for Title', 'stip_fantastic_fiction.png', 'http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/search/?searchfor=book&keywords={title}'), (None, None, None), ('Amazon.com for Book', 'stip_amazon.png', 'http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords={author}+{title}'), (None, None, None), ('Barnes and Noble by isbn', 'stip_bn.png', 'http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?EAN={isbn}&page=index&prod=univ&choice=allproducts&query={isbn}&flag=False&ugrp=1'), ('Barnes and Noble by Author', 'stip_bn.png', 'http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD={author}&box={author}&pos=-1&ugrp=1'), ('Barnes and Noble by Title', 'stip_bn.png', 'http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD={title}+by+{author}'), (None, None, None), ('Books by isbn for cover', 'stip_isbn.png', 'http://books-by-isbn.com/cgi-bin/isbn-lookup.pl?isbn={isbn}'), (None, None, None), ('Book on Goodreads', 'stip_gr.png', 'http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q={isbn}&group_id=&search_type=books'), ('Author on Goodreads', 'stip_gr.png', 'http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q={author}&group_id=&search_type=books'), (None, None, None), ('Google.com for Book', 'stip_google.png', 'http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&q={author}+"{title}"'), ('Google images for Book', 'stip_google.png', 'http://www.google.com/images?q={author}+{title}'), (None, None, None), ('Wikipedia for Author', 'stip_wikipedia.png', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search={author}')] Last edited by iandix; 12-16-2010 at 10:53 AM. |

This worked when I had 0.7.0 installed but now that I upgraded to 0.7.32 it is not working for me. Should I have done anything special when upgrading? |

Plugin for a “Remove from user category” feature
*** This plugin has now been deprecated and the replacement "User Category plugin" can be downloaded from the link below ***
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118934 An optional companion plugin for the "Add to user category" equivalent as requested. Allows a user to *remove* selected authors, series, tags or publishers from the specified user category via a context menu action. If the selection does not exist in the list nothing will happen. For installation and notes refer to the Add plugin post. Last edited by kiwidude; 01-28-2011 at 09:00 PM. Reason: Replaced with User Category plugin |

Question for plugin developers:
One problem I imagine that you face when implementing some of your ideas is "where do I store persistent data?" For example, I could imagine a plugin that stores book/device information for later processing. Other plugins might want the equivalent of private custom columns. My thought is that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to implement an attribute scheme. Such a scheme would permit you to associate a named object with a book. The stored attributes (class attributes) must be types known to python so they could be JSON-serializable, probably limited to unicode/string, boolean, int/float, and datetime, as well as lists and dicts of these types. Interfaces would be provided to attach the object to a book and to retrieve an object (if any). They would be something like db.set_associated_object(id, 'name', class_instance) and db.get_associated_object(id, 'name') The question: if you had this, what would you use it for, if anything? |

As it is, when deleting if I have tags:foo in my category and right-click on series:foo in the row, your plugin will delete the tag. Also, if I have both tags:foo and series:foo in the row, one of these will be deleted from the category, but perhaps not the one I clicked on. A similar problem exists with add. The duplicate check will find tags:foo when I am trying to add series:foo, and vice versa. If you use the label as part of the match (skip entries that don't have the correct label), then the above problems are avoided. |

I've also just now updated both the user category plugins to have icons on the submenus, purely a cosmetic update.
See the screenshot on this post. |

thanks KiwiDude for the cool plug-ins
Was wondering how easy it would be to make a Copy MetaData / Paste MetaData contextual menu? When adding lots of books particularly series, it would be handy to copy one after it has been properly formatted, and then paste it to the others in the series, then only minor tweaks would be required to the pasted ones.
