The book detail page had no way to mark a book finished or reset its
read state from the UI. Reading state is modelled by reading_progress
alone, where 'read' is the canonical signal percentage >= 1.0 (used by
the dashboard Recently Read collection, analytics, and sync priority).
Add a single toggle button in the action row (after Read Now) whose
label is server-rendered from completion state:
- not read -> "Mark as Read" -> PUT /api/media-items/:id/progress
{ percentage: 1.0 }
- read -> "Mark as Unread" -> DELETE /api/media-items/:id/progress
Mark as Unread cannot use PUT { percentage: 0 }: the progress handler
silently ignores percentage < 0.005 when existing progress > 0.01
(internal/handlers/media.go anti-regression guard), so DELETE is the
only reliable reset.
If the book has an active sync mismatch (an unresolved sync_conflicts
row), the toggle resolves it first via POST /api/conflicts/:id/resolve
before writing progress. Order matters: resolving sets resolved_at,
arming the 10-minute HasRecentConflictResolution suppression window so
the subsequent progress write does not spawn a brand-new conflict. The
resolve winner is any valid source key from the conflict data (prefers
"web"); it does not affect the final state, which the progress write
sets. A 400 "already resolved" response is tolerated.
Notes, highlights, and ratings are independent of reading_progress (they
reference media_items, not progress) and are never affected by the
toggle. After toggling the page reloads so the progress card, Sync
Progress button, and conflict banner re-render server-side.
- templates/utils.go: add conflictWinnerSource and conflictID helpers.
- templates/book_detail.templ: data-conflict-id/winner on <body> and the
toggle button.
- web/src/book-detail.ts: toggleRead() + conflictId/conflictWinner/
readSaving state (read from <body> in init()).
- templates/book_detail_templ.go regenerated.
The book detail page only displayed user ratings as static, non-clickable
stars. The full rating CRUD stack already existed in the backend
(media_ratings table, POST/GET/PUT/DELETE /api/media-items/:id/rating)
but nothing in the web UI could create or update a rating.
Replace the display-only renderStars output for the user rating with an
Alpine.js widget that:
- Renders 5 stars, each split into two transparent hit zones so the
underlying 1-10 scale maps to half-star precision (left half = x.5,
right half = whole star).
- Shows a live hover preview via a ratingHover state field.
- Saves the rating in place through POST /api/media-items/:id/rating
(which upserts) and reflects the value immediately, with no full page
reload.
- Displays the numeric value (e.g. "3.5 / 5") and a Clear button that
issues DELETE to remove the rating.
- Reads the server-rendered value from a new data-rating attribute on
<body> during the bookDetail component init().
The community rating block is left as a display-only renderStars render
since it is imported metadata, not a user rating.
templates/book_detail_templ.go is regenerated (also picking up templ
v0.3.1020 reformatting of the generated output).
Upgrade from templ v0.3.1001 to v0.3.1020. Generated code changes include
JoinStringErrs -> ResolveAttributeValue and removal of manual EscapeString
calls (now handled internally by ResolveAttributeValue).
Regenerate all templ-generated Go files. These changes are caused
by running templ generate with a slightly different CLI version
(v0.3.1001) than the go.mod dependency (v0.3.1020), resulting in
minor formatting/import diffs across all templates. No functional
changes.
Reverts generated Go template files from templ v0.3.1020 back to
v0.3.1001 output. Changes include filename path prefix adjustments
(admin_library.templ → templates/admin_library.templ) and attribute
handling differences (ResolveAttributeValue → JoinStringErrs + EscapeString).
- Add clickable tag badges between comic badges and synopsis, linking to
/tags/detail?name=<tag>&library_id=<id> for browsing books by tag
- Add Contributors as comma-separated row in the metadata grid
- Add data-library-id attribute to body for tag autocomplete API calls
- Fix series badge link: append &library_id= so /series/detail works
when navigated from book detail page (was returning empty/404)
- Replace showMetadataEditorPlaceholder() toast with showMetadataEditor()
that opens the metadata editor modal
- Add data-format-group attribute to body for client-side cover generation
- Include @MetadataEditorModal(book) in the page modals section
Create a new /series/detail?name=X&library_id=Y SSR page that shows
all books in a specific series, replacing the broken approach of
linking to /bookshelf?series_filter=X (the bookshelf SSR handler
ignores all filter query params).
The series detail page features:
- Back link to /series browse page
- Library selector dropdown (full page navigation on change)
- Series name header with book count badge
- Book grid using the shared BookCard template
- Empty state for series with no books
Update all links to point to the new page:
- Series cards on /series browse page
- Series badge on book detail page
- JS-rendered cards in series.ts switchLibrary
Add seriesDetailPage Alpine component for the detail page's
library switcher (simple navigation, no AJAX needed).
Create templates/series.templ with:
- Library selector dropdown (sticky, same pattern as dashboard)
- Loading spinner overlay for AJAX library switching
- Series grid with stacked-cascade multi-cover cards
- Empty state when no series found
- Pagination with Previous/Next links
- SeriesCard sub-template linking to filtered bookshelf view
Add 'Series' nav link in header between 'All Books' and 'Collections'.
Make series badge on book detail page clickable, linking to
/bookshelf?series_filter=<name>&sort=series.
Add 'Continue Series' option to restore system collection modal.
Regenerated from .templ sources after template changes. Includes
path reference updates in error messages (templates/ prefix
shortened) from templ tool regeneration.
Consistently format dates and times across all templates and API
handlers using MM-DD-YYYY with 12-hour clock (03:04 PM):
- analytics.go: date keys, lastSync, lastRead timestamps
- progress.go: lastUpdated timestamp in GetAllProgress
- book_detail.templ: LastReadAt, DatePublished
- book_detail_modals.templ: progress sync timestamps, LastReadAt
- devices.templ: LastSync, LastSeen
- conflicts.templ: CreatedAt
- admin_users.templ: user CreatedAt date
All 25 templ-generated Go files had their error-handling FileName fields
updated from bare filenames (e.g. `dashboard.templ`) to path-prefixed
filenames (e.g. `templates/dashboard.templ`). This reflects a change in
how the templ compiler resolves source file paths, likely due to running
generation from the project root instead of within the templates directory.
The change is purely cosmetic and only affects runtime error messages,
not application behavior.
Affected templates:
- Admin: library, processing_issues, settings, sidebar, users
- Reader/Book: book_detail, book_detail_modals, bookshelf
- Collections: collection_modal, collection_rules, collections
- Other pages: conflicts, custom_section, dashboard, devices,
docs, error, filter_item, header, profile_form, profile_modal,
progress, queue, unlinked_books
- API: api_explorer
Fix two bugs in progress display across book detail, progress page, reader,
and sync modal templates:
1. Percentage was stored as 0.0-1.0 fraction but displayed as-if 0-100
(showing 0.5% instead of 50%). Multiply by 100 at the data source in
both GetAllProgress and GetAllProgressData handlers, and in the reader
route's ReadingProgress construction.
2. Progress bar width was never evaluated — { expr } inside style=".."
was rendered as literal text by templ, resulting in 0% width bars for
all items. Fixed by using templ's style={ expr } attribute syntax
which evaluates the Go expression (uses SanitizeStyleAttributeValues).
Also add format-aware progress display:
- Reader template: shows "45% · Page 89/196" for reflowable (estimated
pages), "127/342" for comics/PDFs (actual pages)
- Progress page: shows "Page X of Y (est.)" for reflowable, "X / Y"
for fixed layout
- Add FormatGroup and EstimatedPages to ProgressWithMedia struct
- Remove hardcoded totalPages=200 fallback in progress handler (now 0)
- Add fmt import to progress.templ for string formatting
The Read Now button now properly navigates to the reader page at
/readers/{book_id} instead of showing a placeholder alert. Also includes
generated template variable adjustments.
Implement comprehensive comic metadata display features on the SSR book detail
page, supporting all 8 metadata fields from ComicInfo.xml and other sources.

Improve star rating display on book detail page to show always-visible
5-star rating scale with theme-aware colors and visual half-star rendering.
Changes:
Enhanced renderStars() function:
- Always displays 5 stars (0/5 now shows 5 grey stars instead of empty)
- Filled stars use var(--accent) color (theme-aware highlight)
- Empty stars use var(--text-secondary) (theme-aware grey, adapts to light/dark themes)
- Half-stars use CSS linear-gradient (90deg) to split star vertically:
- Left half: var(--accent) (filled, color)
- Right half: var(--text-secondary) (empty, grey)
- Uses webkit-background-clip and text-fill-color transparent for gradient effect
Added getBookRating() helper function:
- Returns rating value or 0 if book.Rating is nil
- Allows unrated books to display 0/5 (5 grey stars)
- Makes rating section always visible instead of hiding when nil
Template changes:
- Updated rating display to always show (no conditionals)
- Removed text-yellow-400 class (colors now inline with theme vars)
- Added templ.Raw() wrapper for HTML rendering (prevents escaping)
- Simplified rating display logic
Benefits:
- Users can now see rating scale even when book isn't rated
- Visual half-star is much more intuitive than ½ text character
- Theme-aware colors adapt to light/dark mode automatically
- Follows existing patterns ( UnsafeHTML, CSS variables, etc.)
This makes the rating section more discoverable and user-friendly.

language, edition, page count, genre, copyright year, format
- External service links (Goodreads, Open Library, Google Books, Amazon)
with smart URL fallback: ID → ISBN → Title+Author
- Reading progress display with device sources (web/kobo/koreader)
- Sync progress modal for conflict resolution
- Collections display as clickable badges
- Notes/highlights counter with placeholder modal
- Rating display (1-10 scale with star rendering)
- HTML sanitization for book descriptions using bluemonday
Data Structure:
- handlers.MediaDetail embeds database.MediaItems for zero duplication

- Follows project pattern: no parallel type systems
Frontend:
- TypeScript modal triggers (book-detail.ts)
- Alpine.js for modal interactions
- TailwindCSS styling with theme variables
- Responsive: cover-left layout, mobile stacks vertically
Backend:
- Route: GET /media/:uuid (protected)
- Handler: inline function in frontend.go following existing pattern
- Template: SSR-first with progressive enhancement
- Returns HTML only (API uses separate /api/media-items/:id endpoint)
Files created:
- internal/handlers/media_detail.go
- templates/book_detail.templ
- templates/book_detail_modals.templ
- web/src/book-detail.ts
Files modified:
- internal/router/frontend.go (add route)
