for epubs, if they have a link pointing to another place inside the epub or to some website, it works fine when I click on it.

but for pdfs, no matter where I click, the UI menu (with the "click here to close this menu") pops up, instead of opening the link.

this has made reading pdfs very annoying as I need multiple tabs open (one for glossary, one for translation notes etc)

I beleive adding capability to click on links in pdfs is very useful and should be implemented, I am using uboo3beta

I know it's in the beta, and I am overjoyed this project is still being worked on as it been my go to for viewing my comic library for several years. So, this is more a question about if anyone has had the same issue and what they did to resolve it. 

I've scanned a library of 100k+ books magazines and comics. I can view grouping if they're flat, but not by folder. 

Some of the folders have multiple levels of sub folders, some have the books on the top level. Neither will show up as folders but all the media is showing up when I switch over to flat. 

I have noticed that opds in koreader is not working right with ubooquity v3.  On default I can see 3 pages in opds koreader, changing titles per page in ubooquity settings influences this. For example putting 300 titles per page would give me more pages in opds koreader but sadly still not everything.

Is there any way to fix this somehow?

ps. I put this in questions because maybe this is intended however to me it feels like a bug.

Hi Tom,

I don’t know if you know a tool named sonaar which, for series, helps to link a directory with an official list of episodes. If a released one is missing you get an indicator with the missing episode... there is also other function but I am not talking about it (automatic download and what ever...) and that is not the purpose of my request.

Indeed I was wondering if we can imagine a connection to comics database (bedetheque etc.) and Ubooquity tolet us know if some albums of the serie have been published but not in the collection... it would be a super useful tool, even if I can imagine that developing connectors to those public database could be a nightmare...

Have look into sonaar, the UI and way of processing the data is super smooth and very well done if you want to have some ideas of what it can look like.

Thank you for reading and maybe for considering that feature !

Hi! 

I'm running Ubooquity 3.0.1 & I used to be on an earlier version - which I broke somehow, I'm not exactly sure which but I would assume v2. It used to have an option to either store book progress in cookies, or the server itself. Any chance that setting might make a comeback in a later iteration of v3? I share my library with my family & this setting was helpful. 

Thanks! 

Hi,

I use Calibre (the latest version) to create my library. I download covers and description and embed them in the book files. Then I start a new scan in Ubooquity. For most of the books, it works just fine. But in some rare cases, whatever I do, it doesn't show neither the cover nor the description in Ubooquity. Could you please help me figure out why ?

Hi Tom,

Would it be possible to add php support to the underlying webserver?

If so i would also love to have database support also (mysql prefered).

I got a separate webserver with just for keeping track of my favorites/current reading, ;)

Or if you would like to implement a simular thing?, i have like 3 fields in the DB, user, "name" and url, like: /comics/65/

When a scan is started it adds all the new items found and the user can view/ download etc but on the admin dashboard it does not show as complete the Total line is not populated. The log file though indicates that it is complete or at least it does from what I can tell. When I try to start another scan I get the message that one is already running. At the moment I simply stop and restart the server to resolve this. When I restart it then shows the total line populated from the previous scan 

Here are the last lines from my log file after I stopped and restarted the server:

Here is my system info:

Let me know if there is anything else you need or changes that I should make to my setup to get it working. 

I just tried to use moon Reader on my android to view my book collection via OPDS. After I select my subcategory and I get to the author folders I get an error for invalidated OPDS content. Here is how I have everything organized with library access authorization for the two users

Books -->sci/fantasy->author->book folders for series & loose epub files

          -->mystery ->Author

Login is successful and all sub categories display correctly, just the same error whenever I try to go below the subcategory.

Here is a partial dump from the log from moonreader the log repeats for each author on the first page of the library that it should be displaying. Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Just wondering if you've thought of making it so that it all chapters/books in a collection are all marked as red to have it show on the main page also
