Content server- Virtual library list: 1 line by library

[huotg01]

Hi

I work a lot with the Calibre Content server, and I would like to modify the way the virtual libraries are listed on the web interface (please see attached image).

In fact I just want to display the library name (1), without the search formula (2). The list would then have 1 line by virtual library and would be shorter.

Is it possible ? How ?

Thanks

Gaston

You'd have to modify the source code.

Thanks kovidgoyal

Do I have access to the source code, and it it something that I can do ?

What is the module name ?

Thanks

Look for th efunction create_vl_panel

Thanks kovidgoyal

I don't find this function...

Could you point me out to the right direction ?

Thanks again,

Gaston
ps: as a reminder, using the web interface, I just want to list the virtual libraries with one line each (don't want to display the filter code).

Hi kovidgoyal

I finally found out the function in the JavaScript file viewer.js, in the folder Ressources.

1- I don't know what to change to remove the second line (the filter) in the list
2- When the modification is made, what do I have to do the make it work ?

Would you have a minute to help me on that ?

Thanks,

Gaston

function create_vl_panel(container_id) {
var container, items, vls, vl_names, name;
if (!library_data.sortable_fields) {
ρσ_interpolate_kwargs.call(this, show_panel, ["book_list"].concat([ρσ_desugar_kwargs({replace: true})]));
return;
}
container = document.getElementById(container_id);
ρσ_interpolate_kwargs.call(this, create_top_bar, [container].concat([ρσ_desugar_kwargs({title: _("Choose Virtual library…"), action: back, icon: "close"})]));
items = ρσ_list_decorate([]);
vls = all_virtual_libraries();
vl_names = Object.keys(vls).sort((function() {
var ρσ_anonfunc = function (a, b) {
return a.toLowerCase().localeCompare(b.toLowerCase());
};
if (!ρσ_anonfunc.__argnames__) Object.defineProperties(ρσ_anonfunc, {
__argnames__ : {value: ["a", "b"]},
__module__ : {value: "book_list.views"}
});
return ρσ_anonfunc;
})());
var ρσ_Iter5 = ρσ_Iterable(vl_names);
for (var ρσ_Index5 = 0; ρσ_Index5 < ρσ_Iter5.length; ρσ_Index5++) {
name = ρσ_Iter5[ρσ_Index5];
items.push(ρσ_interpolate_kwargs.call(this, create_item, [name].concat([ρσ_desugar_kwargs({subtitle: vls[(typeof name === "number" && name < 0) ? vls.length + name : name], action: show_vl.bind(null, name, true)})])));
}
container.appendChild(E.div());
create_item_list(container.lastChild, items, _("Choose a Virtual library to browse from the list below"));

src\pyj\book_list\views.pyj, line 404. You want to change line 414.

Thanks chaley for this answer.
If you have time for a crash course, what do I do from there ? Do I have to rebuilt the whole system with this change ?
I did noticed that the viewer.js is in the Calibre folder on my PC. Is there a way to make a change from there ? In short, what is the fastest way to apply the change ? Can I just "patch" something somewhere ?

Thanks,

Gaston

Run calibre from source. Make required changes then restart calibre. Loop as needed. I use Eclipse + pydev do do my changes, but a lot of people use other tools. Which depends on the OS you run.

When happy you can create a calibre release, but that is way way way more work. Just keep running from source, accepting new changes from Kovid as you wish.

I have no idea how you would "patch" released calibre to accomplish this. Personally I wouldn't try. I run from source 100% of the time.

Thank you so much for these informations chaley. I will look at that and try this approche.
