Improvements to send to functionality and documentation #326
Comments
|
First the Wiki on Github is completely open so you can enhance as much as you want. I receive notifications and only check what was done. Then there are many questions so let's make a very long post :
I just tested the Gmail integration when I coded it (several years ago) but never used it, I use my own smtp server so never had the problem. I guess you can create a new Wiki item about mail configuration in COPS.
That won't be hard to do, I'll see what I can do.
You can change it in the configuration page : http://cops-demo.slucas.fr/index.php?page=19
The rules are here : I agree a mouse over information would be good
That is harder to do and big attachments could fail for many reason which are hard to debug. I agree it could interesting but it's harder to do.
You can start it in the Wiki, I'll update it if I see some errors or enhancements. |

Hi, I did the wiki update and inserted it in the FAQ. About the last improvement, there is a misunderstanding, when I speak about a mail button in the list of books, it is not for all the books found, it is a mail button for each book. Thanks for the information about the mail modification, it seems basic but is very useful. I like to share my new favorite books with friends and it is a great feature to be able to change the destination mail.
Maybe it wont be useful a lot of time so it would need to be configurable in the configuration zone of COPS to appear or disappear as wished. I would be glad to see and test the evolutions. Thanks again for your work. |

Thanks for the modifications. It is great. Would it be possible to configure the demo site (http://cops-demo.slucas.fr/index.php) to have an email option configured (to let the mail icon appear) even if the mail itself does not work (to avoid issues with your provider) ? It would help present the solution to people who have kindle but maybe did not know that it is available. I would like to modify the existing mail icon to explain more precisely what I have in mind Associated with the mouse over evolutions, you could get informations about book, format that will be sent, destination email. |
|
After a look at the icons available on glyphicons, I would propose this mockup mockup with the 2 icons a mail icon with a star (like a favorite), it means you will send to your current kindle a mail icon with a star and this one for the other the question mark is this one below but there is no mail icon that sums it all... I dont know if these glyphicons are available in the bootstrap framework. |

I just bought a new ereader (kindle) supporting the sendto functionality for a member of my family. Using COPS on a smartphone and the sendto functionality to put books on the selected kindle ereader or app is great BUT with the current implementation, it misses something, you can't select easily where you want to send, you have to provide an email address. In my precedent post, I did a mockup with two buttons solution. Of course, since I have acquired the 2nd device, this solution is not good enough... So I thought "what Amazon do ?" In fact the answer is quite simple : Amazon provides a list of all ereader devices or apps connected to the account, this list is available on the book details page. What I would like is for COPS to provide the same functionality First a question would be asked If checked, it would be possible to provide as many items as wished with a name and email. mockup of course, there would be a : "other destination" and that would open a dialog box to enter the email address. It would be a huge improvement to the functionality and it would address the problems explained in #326 It also would address the issue explained in #329 |

I've tested the cops-1-1-0 release, specifically for the mail subject configuration in the config file. Is it possible to get the same feature for Gmail ? |

Starting with Kobo Firmware 4.7 the embedded browser got smarter and also use Content-Disposition filename to generate the local filename (it also use the full path somehow). Fix the case when following options are enabled : $config['cops_update_epub-metadata'] = "1"; $config['cops_provide_kepub'] = '1'; * Change the PHP version to 7.1 to avoid Scrutinizer crash

I have tested the solution with GMX and it works fine. |
I did configure the send to functionality.
It is easier to crawl COPS on a smartphone and send the book to your ereader...
of course, you need an ereader that supports sendto function
or an application on your smartphone or tablet, this application could be able to open the file received by mail. (like Aldiko for example)
In the configuration file, you can modify
the mail from
the mail account to address the mail
it is possible to use Gmail account BUT for that you need to authorize the gmail account to allow other applications to use Gmail (configuration in Gmail account). there is no information about that, maybe it is possible to add that in the config file (as comments) and in the FAQ ?
There is no possibility to modify the mail subject
"Sent by COPS : <title of the book>"
Is it possible to add a config line to modify the mail subject (at least the beginning) and to offer the possibility to use the title chosen for the library or to be completly free ?
The choice of mail destination is offered once in the session, if you do a typo and type wrong the mail address then the choice is recorded for the session.
Is it possible to offer the possibility to change mail address while in the session ?
maybe with another mail icon button and an interrogation point ?
The format of the book which is sent is not clear because the mail button does not provide this information.
Is it possible to create a mouse over information that tells which format of the book will be sent ?
What are the rules ?
mobi by default ? epub if it is the only format available ?
And last thing, is it possible to provide the mail button in the list of books when doing a search or in the last 50 books ?
When I did add the books in Calibre, I would like to be able to send some of the last directly in my kindle using COPS interface.
It could also be an option available in the config file.
For all this information to be used effectively, documentation in the FAQ should be useful.
Thanks for the work !
