I dig this a lot. I am going to have to watch the video a few times. I really want this to work for me. It looks great and seems very helpful keeping track of books that I have read and ones that I want to in a aesthetically pleasing format. Thank you for sharing your hard work.
Extra Tip: For those who want more control of your Bookshelf Table Width, download and install "Minimal Theme Settings" Plugin and Set your Table Width to "Maximum Line Width". This will give your bookshelf a bit more breathing space.
Great video. Very helpful as I'm figuring out my bookshelf. Are you able to make links off of the book images or text to take you to the actual page for that book?
The Text Links will take you to the book when you click the middle mouse button. Doesn’t appear to be an easy way to add a clickable link on the image but if I find one will let you know
I get whitespaces(to the left and right) when i add cssclasses-cards. I am using minimal theme. I have minimal theme settings plugin and style settings plugin. How should I get rid of whitespaces? Please help
@PaulDickson7 Hello sir, thank you so much for the reply. Yes sir. I checked the syntax. It is correct. I am getting cards view. But the images have so much whitespace on the left and right. Your view looks compact. So I am confused. I checked so many settings but just can't understand it. I have installed - minimal theme, minimal theme settings plugin and style settings plugin. Please help me.
@@PaulDickson7 Hello sir, thank you so much for the reply. Please help me. It is 150. This is my syntax of the dataview query. Also, I don't have any other "CSS snippets" active. so there is no conflict also. I just have minimal theme settings plugin and style settings plugin for the apperance. ```dataview TABLE WITHOUT ID "![|150](" + cover + ")" as Cover, link(file.link, title) as Title, authors as Author FROM #book WHERE !contains(file.path, "Templates") SORT status DESC, file.ctime ASC ````
Try change "![|150](" + cover + ")" as Cover, to just Cover on the DV Query, then inside your Note on the property Cover use Cover: "![[YourCover.png|150x150]]"
Thank you so much for sharing this! This looks really cool!
You're welcome Vignesh, there are so many possibilities with Obsidian. Best of luck

So i was able to follow your video and create the menu but when i try to create the page for U-Z and use
OR (file.name >= "U" AND file.name
Hi Ghaleon7, try using WHERE (file.name >= "U"
AND file.name ="Z")
I get whitespaces(to the left and right) when i add cssclasses-cards. I am using minimal theme. I have minimal theme settings plugin and style settings plugin. How should I get rid of whitespaces? Please help
Hi AlonewithAnkit, are you using "cssclasses: cards" not "cssclasses-cards"

Hi Ankit, what size are your Book Covers? I was forcing a 150 Pixel Width on mine

```dataview

link(file.link, title) as Title,
authors as Author

Thanks for that 🌹. I see that you've read so many books. Did you read the quran ? If not i invite you take a look on it once in your life. Good luck
