Author/Publisher/Series Info
All,
Is there a way to input "metadata" about Authors, Publishers and Series? I'd like to have a way to display a summary of a series as a whole or biographical data about an author. Is there an existing function or plug-in that will allow this? |

@CJHusVar - For Authors you could paste a URI link to the Author Link field in Manage Authors (right click an author name in Book Details panel or Tag browser to get to it). I have links to Evernote Notes which can contain more-or-less whatever I want - they have no formal structure.
There's no equivalent fields in the Manage Series or Manage Publishers lists. For Series you could put a link into the first book of a series - either in a special Ids value, or in a dedicated HTML long text column; I would use the latter because I can
Maybe a plugin could be developed that would provide the equivalent of the Author Link field for Series, Publisher and other 'entity-like' columns. It would probably have to add tables to the database, but IIRC there are already some plugins that do that. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 10-20-2018 at 02:26 AM. Reason: clarity |
