Question: Coping books between libraries from a plugin

Terisa de morgan · 10-19-2015, 04:12 PM

Hi,

I would like to copy/move a book (with all the colum/custom column which apply) from the current library to another library when I'm inside a plugin. Is there any specific way to do this which doesn't involve sql sentences?

Thank you very much

Look at the code in actions/copy_to_library.py that will give you an example. Of course that has many bells and whistles like progress bar, duplicate detection etc. which you probably dont need.

Thank you very much, no problem with bells and whistles (yes, I don't need them but it can be useful at some moment) and this is exactly what I need.
