Thanks.
Also, what's the best way to copy an identifier URL if you don't need the html in urls_from_identifiers? I thought of using strcat to construct it but I'm having trouble remembering what to use to extract the ID itself. |

use select() to get the value of an identifier.

Question:
Code:
program: status = readstatus(); times = $$#timesread; switch_if( status=='read', 'Read', status=='didnotfinish', 'Did Not Finish', status=='currentlyreading', if times >#0 then 'Currently Rereading' else 'Currently Reading' fi, status=='toberead', if times >#0 then 'To Be Reread' else 'To Be Read' fi, status=='unread', if 'readinggoal:' in $#admintags then 'Backlog' else 'Unread' fi, '' ) |

Ah, does a '&' work the same as a strcat in this instance? That's what I was trying but having trouble inserting it into the line.

Here it is with strcat(). Code:
if strcat('readinggoal:', format_date(today(), 'yyyy')) in $#admintags then 'Backlog' else 'Unread' fi |

Can I create a template or plugboard to do the following?
Is it possible to create a template that can be used to do the following when importing books:
1. Ensure that author is always = last name, first name (title case) 2. Title is always title case 3. Tags can be changed into a set list of tags (convert the incoming tags to ones I want and then drop the rest) 4. Series will be listed name and series number 5. Make sure the rating field is blank 6. Make sure the comment field is blank 7. strip blanks that appear in names or titles as _ Sorry I am not a programmer and the help functions were not at my level of understanding so I do not know what syntax to use. |

Simple answer for a not simple desired result: NO
If the metadata is embedded, Calibre populates the fields upon adding. <<<< There are tools to help tame, but that requires YOU to write each rule. Considering the dreaded VARIATIONS Preferences:Adding Books:Adding Actions (a tab) The whole bottom is where you start (there are none out of the box) OTOH Download Metadata has its own configuration Preferences:Metadata download (there are configure buttons on some forms that get you here also) Sources to look at. This also allows you to set Cover (use choice) priority On the Right: Is the Master Use or not use ticks BUT the Configure button BELOW the Sources allows you to fine tune these by Selected Source, (AKA Cherry pick ) The others are pretty self explanatory. (hover on the item for more details) Again: These do not affect Previously Embedded at import time. |
