Selected Columns on Content Server

Tanjamuse · 01-03-2019, 04:56 AM

Hi.

Can I select which columns I would like to see when I connect to Content server?

I've looked through "sharing over the net" but can't find anything about it.

Can it be done?

Thanks

There are no columns in the server view, but you can control what metadata is shown in the book list for each book via the book list template tab in sharing over the net. remember to also enable the custom list view mode by clicking the settings button in the browser view itself.

How do I add custom columns and will this work with Calibre Companion as well?

calibre companion has nothing to do with the server display, it can browse custom columns anyway. You use the lookup name for the custom column in the template, for example #mytags

I am trying to modify the Custom Book List Template by adding the label "Size MB" with the lookup {size} but this does not work. The label appears (when I restart the server and use the Custom Book List from the client browser), but the value {size} does not appear.
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

The default looks like this:
{title} by {authors}
{series_index} of {series}|||{rating}
{tags}
Date: {timestamp}|||Published: {pubdate}|||Publisher: {publisher}

And my change looks like this:
{title} by {authors} Size {size} MB
{series_index} of {series}|||{rating}
{tags}
Date: {timestamp}|||Published: {pubdate}|||Publisher: {publisher}

Forgot to mention version: 3.48, but I just upgraded to 4.0 and it doesn't work either...

Opena bug report and I will look into the issue with {size}

It was a bug, fixed in next release: 4.01.

Thanks for the fix, Kovid!
