Yes. The autoadd option never deletes anything.

Hello @thiago.eec, I'm telling you a question I have.
I have Calibre linked to goodreads but I don't use the reading process, so when I finish reading a book in my calibre I have a status column that will say Read.
Create a custom column for the reading process that depends on the Status column, if it says Read it puts 100 and determines it in numbers.
But I see that I am not taking well the number of books for the month of November.
What could be causing the problem?

Hi, @duhill.

I assume your 'goodreadtags' column has multiple values (tags-like), right? Then your template might fail because it compares the whole value of the column. So, if you only have 'Leído' in this column, it will work, but if you have multiple values, like 'Bueno, Leído', it fails.

Check if your '#progresos' column is really showing '100' for all the five books. If not, you can correct it changing 'switch_if' for 'in_list':

{#goodreadtags:'in_list($, ',', 'Leído', '100', '')'}

P.S.: The above function still has a small problem... if the searched string is part of a larger string, it still matches (e.g.: it would match 'Leídoo' too). Since I'm not very good with the template language, I can suggest something using the Python Mode that will work perfectly, although it might look more complicated:

python:
def evaluate(book, context):
	if book.get('#goodreadtags'):
		if 'Leído' in book.get('#goodreadtags'):
			return '100'
		else:
			return ''
	else:
		return ''

I'm not sure about the performance difference, though.

Thank you so much thiago for this great PI!
I love these statistics at the end of the year.

I only manage three values that depend on which Goodreads shelf the book is on: 'I want to read', 'Reading' and 'Read'

All books read in '#progress' Column shows '100'
Check if your '#progress' column actually shows '100' for all five books.

All books read in '#progress' Column shows '100'
with the three formulas mine and the two suggested by you

But the graph cannot reflect reality.
I'll try restarting the plugin configuration from scratch.

Thanks for your answers

[dunhill]

Achieved!!
I have uninstalled the plugin, removed it from the configuration folder, restarted Calibre and everything works as expected.
Thanks for the plugin and for the answers given, it seemed strange to me that I was the only one with this problem

Are you sure those books were added to your 2023's goal? Do they appear on the 'Edit reading goal' window? What shelf are they listed on?

Could you please post a screen capture of your Challenges window?
Also, please describe the steps to get the error, since I cannot reproduce here. The Annual challenge is supposed to be read-only, so you should not be able to delete it (the delete button is disabled). Nonetheless, it seems like you manage to do so (or at least tried to).

Don't worry since I uninstalled, deleted and reinstalled everything works wonders.
Thank you so much !

Glad to hear it worked out.

How does unfinisheds migrating to the next year work?

Will it move over completely, and the 2023 record removed? Or remain in both years?

If you have the migrating option enabled, it will work like this:

• Books on your 'Want to Read', 'Reading' or 'Rereading' shelves will be added to your 2024's goal
• Pages already read in 2023 won't be accounted for your 2024's goal
• If a book is marked as 'Abandoned', it will not be migrated
• 2023's records will remain untouched in all those cases

The database migration will be automatic when you first interact with the plugin in 2024. But there is one manual step needed: since the plugin does not change your calibre library, you'll need to change the date for the migrated books in your library. The plugin will mark them for you.

I'm suddenly getting this error when opening Statistics. It was working a day or two ago. Edit Reading Goal still opens as expected.

Attached the reading goal backup in case needed. Would appreciate deletion after download, thanks.

I’ve had the same. It’s calculating the remaining days which is 0 today. Guess what, you can’t divide by zero 😬

This only affect the statistics view, if you check out the other views it should be fine.

[thiago.eec]

Hi guys

I'll fix this asap.

P.S.: You can delete it, @ownedbycats

The olde Year end roll over issue strikes again. (it is a pretty common oversight. )
I got a call because things stopped working after Y2K. The client had been assured that there was code to handle that from the app author. Yep, there was code... not tested and done wrong (took me about 5 times stepping thru with the debug to finally see the error and 10 seconds to fix it)
