metadata download plugin related questions

cerda · 07-23-2013, 05:58 PM

I would like to ask two questions:

- when metadata 'search' is finished, a list of found matches is displayed. Is there a way how to modify the layout of 'details' in the right panel? ie. title / author / comments (resume)

- is there a way to disable ISBN merging or change to ID merging? I'm working with a site which (for some unknown reason) has for multiple part books the same ISBN

... so ISBN merging in this case reduces the number of valid matches ... ie. Book 1, Book 2, Book, all of them have the same ISBN and current output is 3 records merged into 1

Thanks

No, you cannot do either without modifying the source code.

Thanks for a fast response.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough with seconds question - I've attached two 'details' one is definitely as wide as is the detail panel, second one is for some reason wider and uses a scroll bar, I'd like to prevent it. The only difference I see is the 'stars' delimiter ... so it's to be possible to control it somehow ...

Now I see my mistake ... it's not a delimiter, it's rating ... I had to convert percents to stars

And the first problem might be solved by not returning IBSN in isbn field ...
