KOReader, Elipsa and PDFs

[calk]

I'm on mobile so apologies first up for formatting. My first post looks like it failed so trying again. I think you can do this with Calibre's template language and the kobo touch extended plugin.

I'm not a programmer and the documentation on Calibre functions was hard to follow but I've put this together.

> Modify and use this in the device save tenplate settings (Kobo touch extended plugin - save output)

program:
# Template function to check if PDF is the only format
# Use with Kobo plugin to store PDF in a different location to epubs
# Can be modified to include CBR/CBZ as well

book_formats = field('formats');
format_length = count(book_formats,',');
found_format = str_in_list(book_formats, ',', '1', '0');
save_path = '';
if format_length == 1 && found_format == 1 then
save_path = '.pdfs/{author_sort} - {series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title} - {authors}'
return save_path
else
save_path = 'books/{author_sort}/{series}/{series}{series_index:0>2s| | - }{title} - {authors}'
return save_path
fi

> Modify this and use this in the kobo touch extended plugin (in the extended settings tab for kepubification) to stop PDFs being kepubified

program:
# Template function to lookup CBZ or CBR Manga file formats
# Use with Kobo plugin where 'epubs' by KCC have been added to the format
# Use to avoid having Kobo plugin convert KCC kepub to kepub
# This uses a custom shelf to check if a book is either in the shelf or if there is a manga file as well - if either are true then don't kepubify
# Can be modified to exclude PDFs as well
book_formats = field('formats');
shelfs = field('#calibre_web_shelf');
found_format = str_in_list(book_formats, ',', 'cbr', 'found cbr', 'cbz', 'found cbz', 'no comic found');
found_shelf = str_in_list(shelfs, ',', 'Graphic-novels', 'found shelf','no shelf found');
if str_in_list(book_formats, ',', 'cbr', 'found cbr', 'cbz', 'found cbz', 'no comic found') || str_in_list(shelfs, ',', 'Graphic-novels', 'found shelf','no shelf found') then
return ''
else
return 'true'
fi

Hi! I tried this but I get the following error:

EXCEPTION: Formatter: if statement: expected 'fi', found 'return' near Unknown on line 12

Could you help me?

I would also want to be able to save both a kepub and pdf version of the same book separately (considering I have both versions beforehand).

Thank you!
