On some stories (not all) I get the following error:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parent' Show Details: calibre, version 0.8.37 ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>IndexError</b>:list index out of range Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre_plugins.fanfictiondownloader_plugin.dialo gs", line 241, in do_loop IndexError: list index out of range Help? |

You're the second person to report an error occurring on that line.
The only way I know to get that error is to click the plug in with no books selected (or choose 'Add New from URL(s)'), then *not* enter any URLs and click OK. (Which is a case I should start checking for, but haven't yet.) If you could start calibre in debug mode (calibre-debug -g) and post the debug output, that would be helpful. Or if it happens consistently on the same stories, knowing the URLs for those stories would help me a lot. |

ETA: I updated the plugin (didn't realize it was one version out of date) and the "parent" error seems to have been fixed. Thank you!

FanFictionDownLoader Version 1.4.0
Testing on this version has been finished.
I'm again looking for some people to beta test the attached newest version before I put it out for everyone. This version contains:
Here's an example of what the default output_css parameter for epub looks like: Spoiler:
Here's an example of what some replace_metadata lines might look like. Spoiler:

I love this plugin. Such a convenience to be able to load stories directly into calibre!
My only problem with it is that I seem to be getting some visible code on italics, elipses or dashes, and sometimes at the end of sentences. For example, on this story on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/338120/chapters/547213. Thank you so much for this wonderful plugin! I particularly like how it will grab an update on the latest chapter of a story without having to re-enter the story url. Brilliant. |

@JaneD - Glad you like it.
Those " " etc entities showing up are from a bug in the downloader--thanks for pointing it out. I'll have a fixed version up later this evening. |

I love the feature that puts tags into custom columns, especially with FFN stories. However, I have recently noticed that not all of the characters are getting put into the correct column. Most of the stories will put the characters in, but any story that has Harry Potter as a category does not grab any characters. The characters do not get put into my tags either. I'm not sure if there is any other category having this problem.
Here is one of the urls that should have characters: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5930194/1/ Edit: Looking on my list of stories, I realized that all the stories that are not retrieving the characters are crossovers. Each story has to categories or fandoms. I do not know why the plugin is having trouble retrieving the character information with these stories, but it is not just stories in the Harry Potter category.

@Jade Aislin--The hoops I have to jump through to parse out characters on ffnet are significant. It doesn't surprise me that it was flawed.
But I think I have it figured out. Fix will be in the next version. |

Truthfully, I may not have noticed it if I hadn't been thinking about using the new feature that allows the user to edit metadata. I already tried it by modifying some long categories and some categories that have commas in them which made the pluging think there were two categories instead of one (ex: House, M.D.). It worked great, but I was thinking about using the feature to change the character based on the category so that it reads as category.character instead of just the character. Even if it can't be done, it's an easy matter to manually change the characters if I already have the character and categories. |

I love this plugin. Thank you.
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but none of the files I've downloaded using the plugin, have chapter breaks on the Locations bar on the bottom of the page, when I put them on the kindle. What am I doing wrong? |

That is because mobi as a proprietary format needs to die in fire. Advise is to use epub, and then convert it to mobi using Calibre, then it sort of looks normal.

I spent the better part of a week once trying to get those chapter marks to work in our mobi output and failed. I had removed mobi output support entirely at one point (before the plugin), but the web site users asked for it back, even if it is flawed. |

This is what I do, and it looks perfect on my kindle, chapter breaks, TOC & all. Just remember to convert again every time you update a chapter!
