kiwidude: When doing the encoding use the 'ignore' error handler.

encoded = url.encode('latin1', 'ignore')

This will ignore unencodable chars.

Thanks very much Kovid, love it when there is a simple answer

I've made the change to my version. If dwanthny can give me one of his titles that fails I will test it then post.

I'll keep a list and when I get a few I'll post back. Just the titles/authors as listed in my library?

This may be true, but it is always the same error with the same character (u'\u2019'). If I read it right it is a "right quote"? I don't see any odd characters in the titles. There doesn't seem to be anything I can see that causes this. Next time I run across this I'll delete the title and author and type them back in by hand.

Update: If I choose to do anything IRL all of a sudden I'm way behind the curve and Kiwidude and Kovid have solved the problem.

Like I indicated I can't see anything odd. I even changed case, deleted and retyped etc...

Code:
These two have an error u'\u2019'
Death of a Valentine  -  M. C. Beaton
Another Man's Moccasins  -  Craig Johnson

These two have an error  u'\u2014'
Kindness Goes Unpunished  -  Craig Johnson
Angelic  - Kelley Armstrong
Update: This was a good use of the Temp Mark plugin.

Hmmm... as you say there is nothing obvious about those titles and they work fine on my machine.

Bonus points are awarded however for your use of the Temp Marker plugin

I will attach the new plugin version to this post (temporarily) for you to try. If it still doesn't solve your issue, maybe you could create a fresh library, copy just those titles above to it and then zip/email me the metadata.db?

That plugin solved the problem for the 4 listed. I tried a random sample of 20 more and they all worked fine.

Thanks.

1.6.3 Released

As per the recent posts above on this thread should resolve an apaprently long-standing issue of titles/authors failing to encode correctly throwing an error when linking to a website.

Thanks to Kovid for the solution and dwanthny for reporting/testing.

@dwanthny - I wonder what it is about those book examples you gave - some non-visible text perhaps? Glad you are now sorted.

I have no idea but recently I ran into it frequently. I deleted and manually retyped titles with no success. I was using the Google images search to go to Amazon.

Whatever the reason it is now a thing of the past.

Kiwidude,

This is a great plugin. I'd like to add some additional sites but it's asking me questions I don't know the answer to when I try to customize. I looked at your pictures in the first post but am still confused and I don't know what a .png is. Could you please list step by step for adding a new site and indicate what goes on those boxes? I'd like to add Fictionwise and some of my spicy books sites like Samhain. Sorry for my confusion.

Thanks!!

@bookfanmd - I will add a tutorial to the first post, look for it in an hour or so. The .png is just an image file for the icon to display in the menu. Sometimes you can grab the icon directly from the website, other times you make your own. Dinner is burning, look for the new section later and please feedback if it helps or what you are still stuck on.

@bookfanmd - I've included a whole step by step tutorial to the first post for how I setup Fictionwise.com just now, which is one of the most complex examples.

Attached is the exported zip file for the "Fictionwise for Author" and "Fictionwise for Book" menu items I created. You can import these yourself by downloading the zip to your PC and then a right-click "Import" from the plugin configuration dialog.

This stuff isn't trivial but it isn't immensely difficult either. Just some patience for experimentation and a little html knowledge is required. Hopefully if you follow through the tutorial it will help you understand where everything comes from for using with your own web pages. As always feedback is appreciated.

Thanks so much for your help. I'm really glad you did Fictionwise, I don't think I could have figured that one out. I tried 4 other sites and was able to get all working but one. That one took me to the search menu though so it will be OK. I may try it again later. I set one up for Smashwords that I was going to upload here but I have to figure out how to upload first. Thanks again, I've loaded most of your plug-ins to my calibre and they are wonderful!

Glad you found the tutorial useful. What was the url of the site you had problems with, maybe I can give you some pointers.

If you want to upload any zips to the forums with a post like I did above, when you post click Go Advanced and then click on the paperclick icon or scroll down to "Manage attachments" (both do the same thing)

I was trying to do www.torquerepress.com. I came up with http://www.torquerebooks.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword ={title} for a title search but it takes me to a search page instead of a book. I tried the same coding format with author with the same results.
