Sure. Look in your template(s) for this line:

<?php if( have_books('status=read&orderby=finished&order=desc') ) : ?>

Note the order variable. Change it to asc and it should reverse the order.

It’s probably Amazon’s fault: the plugin was originally written to store the path to the image on Amazon’s server. I never changed this when I took over maintenance of the plugin.

In future versions, the plugin will download and store such images locally, meaning the links should never become bad.

In the sidebar.php for NRR (not the sidebar.php of your WP theme), there should be a line like this:

<?php if( have_books('status=reading') ) : ?>

Change it to (where, obviously, num=whatever number of books you want.

<?php if( have_books('status=reading&num=10') ) : ?>

You can edit this value for each book status.

This is been asked for, and the capability is (sort of) in the plugin already, but it’s a little more complicated than that. The standard library page has three loops (three queries). Paging would affect all of them individually.

The only way paging would be effective would be if your library page was not divided by status as is the default, but was rather an alphabetical (single query) listing of all books you’ve added. While I agree that this could be a desirable thing, it would be too big a change to add to the plugin right now, since it would break a lot of existing installations.

I’m considering it for the nebulous 6.0 version of NRR, but I have no clear picture of when that’s coming (job + grad school + wedding plans).

No, you’re on the right track: title configuration doesn’t have any sort of presence in user-facing options. The plugin doesn’t expect themes to do anything unusual with the page titles.

The plugin uses its own template pages. There are instructions for customizing these templates included in the plugin files. If you want your library page to look a particular way, you need to edit library.php.

You don’t specify the reader. The book is attached to whichever user adds it.

On library.php, change <div class="content"> to <div id="container">.

That’s the difference between your main template and the NRR library template in your case.

Did you edit the templates to reflect the changes I suggested?

You can change this behavior by editing the sidebar template for NRR. By default, clicking a book link in the sidebar takes you to your site’s library page (yours doesn’t appear to be working right now—perhaps save your options again?), and each book’s page will have a link to Amazon.

<?php book_url() ?> outputs the address to the book’s Amazon page. <?php book_permalink() ?> outputs the address to the book’s library page on the hosted domain. Per the bundled plugin instructions, try putting a copy of the template files in your active theme and editing them to fit your needs.

Try changing your first line to <?php get_header(); global $nr_id; ?>

Did you accidentally remove the global $nr_id; part when you were editing?

This could be scoped a number of ways. Now Reading Reloaded is less about cataloguing a collection or wishlist and more about chronicling what you are reading or intend to read.

My “intend to read” list is simply everything that is in my database by “unread”.

Future versions may have editable book statuses, which may or may not satisfy this feature request.

More extensive wishlist-handling is probably handled better by other plugins that more closely match the scope of your request; at this point, it’s unlikely that NRR will evolve into a general-purpose library plugin as such.

Kumarei,

This appears to be my careless introduction of a bug from some minor schema changes I did for the previous release.

I’ve just released 5.1.2.1, which should hopefully fix that issue.

WP debug mode isn’t really helpful; what does the NR debug mode (available on the options page) produce?

Also, please provide some information about your hosting platform (Windows or Linux? What versions of PHP, MySQL, WordPress, Apache, etc)?

No way right now—numbers of books are run entirely via the templates.
