Now Reading (revised)

Here it is. A modified version of Now Reading that includes K2 compatibility, a sidebar module for K2, and the on hold feature. Only difference for on hold feature from previous post is the on hold section in the library page.

Also, I noticed one slight difficulty when I upgraded the NR plugin from an ancient one. With the addition of the “started reading” field in the database, it did not add the info from the pre-existing books. So, if you’re upgrading from an early version that only had “date added” and “date finished,” run this SQL:

MySQL [Show Plain Code]:
  1. UPDATE `wp_now_reading` SET `b_started` = `b_added` WHERE `b_started` = ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00` AND `b_added` != ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00`;

In other words, set the date started reading to the sate the book was added whenever there is no start date but there is an added date.

    I’ve benn looking for a specific K2 Now Reading plugin. Thank you very much mate.

    I’ve only a problem. Why when I use the mod_rewrite my permalinks are broken?

    Thank you again.

    Have you turned on the mod_rewrite option for Now Reading?

    Yeah, and I have a personalized permalinks structure.

    But, reading the comments on the official site, I see that I’m not the only person that has that problem.

    Appreciate the help :)
