Nope, that’s something a bit different. In that case, Rob changed which of the WordPress filters he was applying to the meta data. That broke some quick & dirty PHP code I was using, so I made the code change as mentioned on that post to correct the problem.

And yeah, a real manual for Now-Reading would be great. It’s a really good plugin, but to get the most out of it; you just about have to be a PHP programmer.

hi and thanks Mark. I will go check out your other post :)

Reason I asked about the metadata and how to make it default was because of this post http://coffeebear.net/archives/2008/06/05/now-reading-default-filters-on-book-meta/
thought it was worth asking if maybe you were working with them already.

*wish I had a manual* lol

Unfortunately my PHP skills were weaker than I thought and this only shows the logged in user. Since you asked about it, I started poking at it again and think I've got it working now. See my Now Reading Tweaks v2 post for details. Sorry, no idea on defaulting in meta data. Hmm, I'd guess Rob's recording the pages read in the meta data and then displaying on his pages using the book_meta() function from the Now-Reading plugin (see now-reading/template_functions.php).

[…] time back, I tried to make Rob Miller’s Now-Reading plugin display who’s reading each book on the individual […]

Hello!

I’ve been trying to get multiuser to work on now reading and just discovered the forum is no longer around. Searching brought me here :)

Where does it show who is reading what? It only seems to display who is viewing the blog at the time, rather than who is reading the book! I’ve been pulling my hair out all day, any help is appreciated (I’m not exactly a coder lol)

Also wonder if you know anything about having default meta data? I would like to have the same keys displayed for users to enter the date so we have some consistency rather than having to enter them each time, do you know anything about that?

While I’m here, may as well ask something else lol. Any idea how to get the number of pages read to show up? Rob has it on his blog and I left a comment there but I don’t know how often it’s checked

Thanks for any help :)

Well as noted above, I’m not a programmer. Looks like the original code I posted above only appeared to work because I was logged into my WP install when testing it. I’m now trying to figure out how to make it really work.
