Anybody found solution to Goodreads integration failure?

kyteflyer · 04-29-2018, 04:57 PM

I have emailed Kris but no response thus far: hopefully he will reply this week sometime (its only been a few days)

I was wondering if anyone has found a way round the failure to integrate? I can be logged in to GR in its app, or on the web, but when I try to link from Marvin3, the page is blank, so no capacity to accept in the GR site. Thats on the iPhone. Oddly, no issues on the iPad at all.

Anybody?

I have had the same issues on an iPad for some time, so a fix would be good.

Remove the goodreads app and let marvin open safari when you try to link it to goodreads, that should do it.

Thanks, I'll give that a go, since Kris has not bothered responding to my query (now 2 weeks since I wrote) which surprised me, he used to be very responsive.

[edit] and that works, thank you so much.

You’re welcome. I think the problem is a fault on goodreads side, not marvin’s.

Seems like thats the case, otherwise your solution would not have worked.

Starts to open goodreads, then asks - Open in Marvin? If I click Cancel, stops loading Goodreads and loads another page of my Safari history (?) I deleted my entire Safari history, so now I forced it to go to the goodreads page. But it does nothing there, except I see a message on Goodreads sayong "This app is already authorized". But then I go back to Marvin, and GR shows still as unlinked. Tried same many times. Can anyone help?
