Calibre Hirarchy

cercapatch · 04-10-2016, 01:46 PM

Hello.

Is it possible to make a book part of more than one subgroup?

In the following Series hierarchy structure

Literature
NY Times Bestsellers (June 08 2014)
Fiction

entering the following in the Series field of the metadata of a book:

Literature.NY Times Bestsellers (June 08 2014), Literature.Fiction

does not work!

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you very much for any help.

There is a COMMA that should be a DOT (period)

BUT, that is one ugly series name. IMHO most (all) of that should be a bunch of TAGS
NY Times Bestsellers [201406.08] would be a way of making a daily series (and index [YYYYMM.DD] )

because index is only numeric and you probably want to sort by it later

{Series} is intended for the Titles (main) Series (Calibre only supports 1 series. It can be hierarchical: Pern.Dragonriders )

Thank you theducs for your reply.

actually the comma is intended to separate the two hierarchical references. The date you see there is part of the text. the line could be:

Literature.NY_Times_Bestsellers, Literature.Fiction

but all this does not matter since, as you said, Calibre only supports 1 series.

have a good day.

@cercapatch - maybe you could add 'series-like' custom columns for secondary, tertiary etc series. And combine them for the purposes of searching via the Group Search feature in Preferences->Searching.

Thank you very much BetterRed.

I have not tried custom columns yet but now that you mention it I will get to them right away.

You could also use a tag-like column and populate it as so:

Literature.NY Times Bestsellers.2014.06.08, Literature.Fiction

You could then use the tag browser to filter all NY Times Bestsellers by year, or by month, or by day.
