Template tweaking to remove unused parameter

tamarissa · 12-05-2020, 12:27 PM

This template works great when all the fields are populated with data:

Code:

{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2|| - } {title} ({#sub_series}, Book {#sub_series_index:0>2||})

When there isn't a sub-series, I still get "(, Book )" in my results. That's the part I want to get rid of if there is no sub-series. Is that possible?

Code:

({#sub_series}, Book {#sub_series_index:0>2||})

Move the optional text inside as a suffix inside the #sub_series, you also move the opening parenthesis "(" to be a prefix in the sub_series and the closing parenthesis as a suffix in the #sub_series_index

Code:

{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2|| - } {title} {#sub_series:|(|, Book} {#sub_series_index:0>2||)}

You can consult the template manual for more on this.

Thanks, that worked great.

I did look at the manual, but it didn't really help out in this particular case, sorry. I'm only about 40% template savy.
