v1.0.6 Released
Changes in this release:
Goodreads have been "fiddling" with their website again it seems, this should allow title/author type searches to start matching again. EDIT: I forgot to update the version in the zip - please download again if you were the first couple of users and plugin updater keeps telling you you have 1.0.5.

Search for a book with only goodreads id does not work, you have to add at least the title.
One of my older books had the title "Dark Imperium", and "Unknown" as author. I used the "Link to goodreads..." menu item to add the id "goodreads:588334" to that book, then went into the "Edit Metadata" dialog and tried to download metadata. The Goodreads Metadata plugin failed to return any data: Code:
****************************** Goodreads ****************************** Request extra headers: [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1')] Found 0 results Downloading from Goodreads took 0.551999807358 Goodreads book url: u'http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/588334' Could not find title/authors/goodreads id for u'http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/588334' Goodreads: u'588334' Title: 'Dark Imperium (Warhammer 40,000 Novels\n \n (Warhammer 40,000)' Authors: None ******************************************************************************** Code:

@hakan42 - I just tried exactly your described scenario and it worked perfectly fine for me. I did the following:
Created an empty book with title "Dark Imperium", author "Unknown" Set the goodreads id to goodreads:588334 In the Edit Metadata->Configure download metadata screen, had only the Goodreads plugin enabled, with all fields to download checked. Clicked the Download metadata buton Code:
Starting download Query: title:Dark Imperium; authors:Unknown; goodreads:588334 Running identify query with parameters: {u'authors': None, u'identifiers': {u'goodreads': u'588334'}, u'timeout': 30, u'title': u'Dark Imperium'} Using plugins: Goodreads The log from individual plugins is below ****************************** Goodreads ****************************** Request extra headers: [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.153.1 Safari/525.19')] Found 1 results Downloading from Goodreads took 1.53900003433 --- Title : Dark Imperium (Warhammer 40,000 Novels (Warhammer 40,000) Author(s) : Marc Gascoigne & Andy Jones Publisher : Games Workshop Rating : 3.17 Published : 2001-01-30T00:00:00+00:00 Identifiers : isbn:9780743411622, goodreads:588334 Comments : In the war-torn 41st millennium humanity stands on the shores of damnation, their only saviour is the Immortal God Emperor and the massed armies of the Imperium, in this searing anthology of Warhammer 40,000 stories torn from the pages of Inferno! magazine.

Yes, but try an empty title with empty authors and only the goodreads id set. The book had in my case a very broken title:
Code:
'Dark Imperium (Warhammer 40,000 Novels\n \n (Warhammer 40,000)' Anyway, setting the title to something sensible works, so my problem might only be a corner case that does not happen in the normal flow of work... Back to ![]() ![]() |

As I said above that is with no authors set, you can see it in the log where it says:
Code:
Running identify query with parameters: {u'authors': None... Code:
Goodreads book url: u'http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/588334' |

I was wondering if it is possible for a book linked to goodreads (link is valid, shows correct book) to not download any matadata? Downloading metadata simple fails. What could be the reason for this?
When using link to goodreads it finds book fine for linking. I tried adding ISBN still no results. Not getting results isn't strange, strange is that book is linked with goodreads from which I download metadata. |

Use the Edit Metadata window to do the download, so you can see the results (to see if Calibre is choosing a book from a different ISBN pool). Also you can take a look at the log to see what it says. And finally if you absolutely want to guarantee that it downloads from Goodreads with a linked book, only enable the Goodreads plugin.

@Noughty - unfortunately you have not posted the book details. If you don't want to publicly display them just send me a PM - it looks like you have found some kind of problem with scraping the the data for that particular book.

v1.0.7 Released
Changes in this release:
This release addresses a problem where the series name/number specified on Goodreads does not match a valid calibre format. So for instance: MyTitle (MySeries #2008 Jan) In this circumstance the series information will be treated as part of the title. |

Thanks. Also a late thanks for plugin linking with goodreads on metadata download. I barely need to use Goodreads sync link to goodreads book. I really like how it works now

I must be doing something wrong. When I download Metadata, I see the tags that are downloaded (I have it set for 5). I select the cover and go to the Basic Metadata screen. I select OK, but on the main Calibre screen, my book has way more than the 5 tags I wanted to download. What am I doing incorrectly?

Also I went and configured the Google plugin and the Fantastic Fiction plugin so tags from these sources were not downloaded. I only leave Goodreads configured to download tags. |

Thanks, Walt. I had previously removed the tags from being sent by Google. Okay... so I get rid of the tags first and then search. I thought it would overwrite it. Thanks for the info!!
EDIT: Worked great. Thanks! |

I wanted to ask if it's possible to fix authors of anthologies. When I download metadata of anthologies with a lot of authors I get something like this
Code:
Author1, Author2, Author3, Author4...More Author5...less This happens if in goodreads you have to press more to see all authors. Since the same is with book description and it's possible to download correctly this probably is possible too. |
