Custom identifier: Is it possible to

[ownedbycats]

I have a custom identifier with https://openlibrary.org/books/{id} as a rule.

I'm having a bit of trouble, though.

If I paste https://openlibrary.org/books/OL8604930M/A_Baker's_Field_Guide_to_Chocolate_Chip_Cookies in, I get:

OL8604930M/A_Baker's_Field_Guide_to_Chocolate_Chip_Cookies

I don't want that second part, just the OL bit. Adding a trailing slash to the rule works, but then if the URL ends with /books/OL8604930M it fails to detect and I get a url.

Aside from making two rules (which results in duplicate links), is there a way to set the trailing slash as optional?

Hi,

you mean the link in details?

i just tried and it worked fine, I've set it this way:





Upon clicking the link in details pane, browser opens https://openlibrary.org/books/OL8604930M , which then redirects to https://openlibrary.org/books/OL8604...e_Chip_Cookies

{identifiers} have 2 parts colon delimits
type : value
They are pretty much free to make

foo:bar

If I paste the 'full' URL, I get the title stuff tagged onto the end when using the paste button. That's the part I want to avoid.

I can avoid it by adding the trailing slash to the identifier rule, but then URLs without the title stuff fail to detect.
