Custom Columns about bicbucstriim HOT 2 CLOSED

It's always nice to hear about the creative solutions people are finding!

I was already thinking about adding metadata fields to the book details page for various purposes (see also #18 ). That mechanism would also make it possible to display custom columns.

I haven't used the custom columns in Calibre, they seem to be very flexible. I'm not sure about the complex columns ( column built from other columns ), but the simple ones might be easy to integrate. What column types do you use?

Thanks for the quick reply..

So far I'm using a "Text column for keeping series-like information" and "Text, column shown in the tag browser"
At the moment I'm mainly interested in being able to see the information when viewing the book details after clicking it.

Using this as a catalog for real books is causing some weird quirks when trying to view from an opds reader, but the html works great without the ebooks being present. So far I'm not sure how far I will take this idea.. If I do end up sticking with it I will need to help provide a simplified chinese language pack for the project.
