[solved] template: if one of the tag is sthg... maybe contains or in_list functions
Hi all,

Post Summary
Can someone provide a way to display a word in the filename depending on the presence of the tags? Something like :

If one of the tags is "xxx" then add "yyy" if not "zzz"

Detailed post

I am testing the way my books are rendered on my reader.
I need the template to add a special keyword in the filename (actually an extension prefix) when sending to device, depending on the tags I gave:

If one the tags is "kepub" display ".kepub" if not display ""

I didn't succeed with these syntaxes:
  • {tags:contains("kepub",".kepub","")}
  • {tags:in_list(",","kepub","kepub",".kepub")}
  • Notice that there is a syntax with 5 arguments (for the built-in templates) in the template engine. So I tried also: in_list({tags},",","kepub",".kepub","")

Can someone provide examples for those functions using the {tags} as value:
  • in_list(separator, pattern, found_val, not_found_val) Reference
  • contains(pattern, text if match, text if not match) Reference


Resources:
Thank you for your help,

Regards

François

The following seems to work:

Code:
{tags:'in_list($, ",", "kepub", ".kepub", "")'}
That will return ".kepub" if the tags contain "kepub". And nothing if it isn't

But, I have to ask, why? You can store kepubs in calibre. And if you send a book to a Kobo device using the KoboTouch driver, it can send either an epub or kepub. If you send a kepub, the driver names the file on the device as needed for it to be treated as a kepub. And if you have both formats for a book, you can set which the driver will send.

Hi Davidfor,

As usual, your are a savior... A double savior :-)

I would never have guessed about the dollar argument in the function. Might be a good idea to insert a few examples in the manual. I will try to collect a few things and post them in the recipe.

For the driver use, i guess I didn't find the right way t send (without correcting) epub or kepub... I might look it up in the plugin forum.

Thank you again for your answer

François

It was one of the things I missed early on and keep forgetting. The $ indicates where the value from the field goes. See http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/temp...e-program-mode for the explanation.

The main thing is to have "kepub" selected in the list of formats for the driver. Otherwise calibre will attempt to convert the kepub to something else before sending.

Hi, DavidFor,

Sorry for the delay, I was traveling for work.

Thank you very much for the details added in your explanation and for the link.

I might plunge into the manual this afternoon to understand fully how it works.

And for Calibre of course, this is a few hours more testing ahead

Regards

François
