Advanced Icon Rule with Exception

[Tanjamuse]

Hi.

I have an advanced Icon rule to which I would like to add another column as exception.

This is the rule:

program:
   uc = user_categories();
   str_in_list(uc,',','Uninteresting','list_uninteresting.png','')

I need to add that if a book has a tag in a custom column called Cloud not to add the icon showing it as an uninteresting.

The tag in my text, but with a fixed set of permitted values could be To Cloud.

I hope this makes sense and someone can help me.

I don't know if this would work:

program:
    uc = user_categories();
    cc = field ('#Cloud');
    icon = contains (cc, 'To Cloud', '', 'list_uninteresting.png');
    str_in_list(uc,',','Uninteresting',icon,'')

[Tanjamuse]

It says: EXCEPTION: Formatter: Unknown identifier user_categories near user_categories

[Terisa de morgan]

Try now: missing parenthesis

[Tanjamuse]

What if I don't want the uninteresting icon to show up because of the information in my #lists column?

[Terisa de morgan]

Change #Cloud by #lists

[Terisa de morgan]

You only have to handle icon so, in the end, it values '' if you don't want the icon and "list_uninteresting.png" if you want it.

Fair warning: Not tested, I've only checked the functions and analyzed exactly what you have requested.

Maybe I didn't express myself correctly then

If a story in calibre is on the list called: "On Cloud", then I only want to see the icon called "list_cloud on" and not the uninteresting link.

At first I looked for some way to add exceptions to my UC but since I have no idea if that's possible I thought of the icon rule instead.

Let's assume the custom column (list) is called "On Cloud" (#on_cl). If there is a value in that column, then the "Uninteresting" should not appear. Is that right?

[Tanjamuse]

The cc is called lists and has different values. If there is a value in the column called lists, then the Uninteresting.png should not appear.

[Terisa de morgan]

Any value or a specific value?

[Tanjamuse]

Any value would be much preferable.

[Terisa de morgan]

program:
    uc = user_categories();
    icon = test (field ('#lists'), '', 'list_uninteresting.png');
    str_in_list(uc,',','Uninteresting',icon,'')

[Tanjamuse]

Thanks so much. Works like a charm

And if you go for competition about the shorter program :

program:
    uc = user_categories();
    str_in_list(uc,',','Uninteresting',test (field ('#lists'), '', 'list_uninteresting.png'),'')
