Minor issues with Content Server

nqk · 09-22-2018, 03:45 AM

After about 3 weeks mostly using the content server (I only add a book or two once in awhile, and all the stable structure has been set when I used the main Calibre), I would like to comment as follows:

1) Series_Index issue: I have this Box Set (group of books) that has no sequential index, so I give them all 0 as series index. The Book Details and built-in Detailed List list them as '0 of' but the Custom List shows '1 of'.

I use the following template.

Code:

{series_index} of <i>{series}</i>

2) One more thing: I can't clear the date value (published date for example), the value "0101-01-02" will appear, instead)

3) Easy to add physical book. I bought a new book, imported a prepared dummy file named "Title - Author.paperback" to the content server. It works marvelously. I once thought it only worked with the main Calibre.

1) will be fixed in the next release. I cannot replicate (2) what browser are you using and in what timezone?

Works for me with chrome in gmt +5 odd. How exactly are you clearing it? I clicked the little x icon on the right of the field.

On mobile it looks like that.

I suppose I can add a dedicated clear button for it, so we are not at the mercy of browser implementations.

Actually after hitting Clear button, the field looks empty, and everything looks fine after hitting on the OK button. But after "Apply Changes", it returns the above date value.

kovidgoyal · 09-23-2018, 04:07 AM

Works for me. Where are you seeing this value? In the book details page?

nqk · 09-23-2018, 04:48 AM

Yes, sir. Just right after "Apply Changes".

Strange. Sorry I dont have any idea why you see that.

Here is a hacky workaround for th eissue, since I have no idea what the underlying cause is:
