So if you insist on keeping your Calibre on version 5, then you can make the latest version of this plugin work by downgrading/upgrading your Calibre to any versions that is not from v5.9.0 to v5.39.1. |

Also, @kiwidude, might be a good idea to post a link to your github releases page in the in the this thread

It is silly trying to run a previous version of this plugin! The whole point of this change is to fix something that was broken in that the plugin would not bring results back a significant % of the time. It would only “work” randomly depending on the result of the random user agent.
When I get time I will do some testing with older calibre versions as to why my workaround for supporting 5.x as a fallback is not working. Why are you not just upgrading your calibre? |

I'm assuming they're on an older system that they can't upgrade for whatever reason. (I mean, the price of computer hardware...)

Upgrading calibre from 5.x to 6.x is not a hardware related decision. I want to know from the OP why they are not upgrading. I know there have been linux distro issues in the past for some people who stick to super old versions. I don’t get why anyone would bother sticking with an OS if it is restricting what versions of apps you can run on it but each to their own.
Supporting older calibre versions is an overhead for plugin developers and as I appear to have accidentally proven here can be non trivial to get right. I’m curious what the resistance point here is as a current example. It’s not as if you risk issues with your library - 6.x has been out for a long while now and Kovid does a phenomenal job with upgrades to make it seamless for users. |

I was thinking of 5.44 being the last one to run on Windows 8 on an older computer. But best to wait from the OP.
BTW: if it's because of DeDRM, look for the NoDRM fork. EDIT: I searched the user's posts. It looks like they're running a miniPC with a 32-bit system, meaning incompatible with 6.x. Last edited by ownedbycats; 04-12-2023 at 06:36 PM. |

Interesting post, thanks. Ok sounds like I do have to find a way to get fix that backwards compatibility then.

Ok just taken a quick look at this. It seems there was a "dead zone" of release versions during 5.x where there was no random chrome user agent function of any kind. Which the OP has managed to land themselves in. EDIT: In fact this exact range was pointed out above by changhuapeng, thanks.
I still think the OP should just upgrade to the last 5.x version (5.44.0) - if indeed they are caught in some 32-bit vs 64-bit issue with not being able to go to 6.x at least take the last version that you "could" use. As for the possible plugin workaround, well it is going to be some more filth that I will have to put in to replicate the code that was removed from calibre during that period. Meh.

>Supporting older calibre versions is an overhead for plugin developers That's not something that I expect or desire, I really appreciate the work that you do and I'm very happy with the plugin even if it is an old version, it still works fine for me. I only have two plugins yours and action chains and both work great. I certainly didn't post here to complain, I just wanted to verify that the latest version wouldn't work with v5.

Hi nguoi - your best bet would be to ask one of the template syntax gurus like chaley to help you (or just ask it as a general custom column formatting question, showing the template that you have for the column currently). The problem here is that the grvotes column is not a native numeric column, instead it is derived from a special identifier value. Given that the column is treated like a number for sorting purposes there might be hope that it could also be formatted as such but you don't via the UI get the same "formatting" options for a custom column of this type that you do for a native numeric as you have found.
