calibre doesn't see plugin updates until the Index thread has been updated. That's a manual process handled by the forum moderators. Sometimes it takes a while, which is why I also announce it.

You can go into calibre's plugin list and manually install the plugin and you'll get the latest version even if it doesn't show a new version on the list.

That's actually no longer true for calibre 1.x releases, all plugins are downloaded from http://plugins.calibre-ebook.com which mirrors this site and automatically scans for plugin updates every hour. So if your users are using newer calibre releases they should be notified of plugin updates within an hour of you updating the zip file in the first post.

I understand the fears. I've had some of my own fic ... not verbatim plagiarized, but poorly riffed (and I was pretty offended by it), but I still want as many readers as possible to read my stuff. But I, too have seen a couple authors who have switched sites like four times to avoid downloadable content.

Agreed. No predicting whether somewhere out there someone didn't save that embarassing fic you thought you'd managed to obliterate off the 'Net, really: I found I have a few of those taken down fics saved back in the early 2000's when I was going through the saved fic folders trying to import to calibre. I made an argument for why fear of easier duplication shouldn't be a reason to spurn more modern services than FFN, but well, no convincing cattle that won't drink the water from your trough!

If you're trying to suggest we support adult-fanfiction.org, we don't support that site because of the legal warning and requirements, not because of technical difficulty.

It's failing because there's no word count collected and it's failing when trying to set it to an empty string. I'd blame it on calibre 1.x, but 0.9 does the same thing. Apparently it changed on one end or the other somewhere along the way.

Attached is a version of the PI that skips setting int/float columns when the data is empty.

FYI, FFDL doesn't collect word count from ncisfiction.net because it's a nuisance to get.

Author list shows only series and stories not in series. And word count per story is only show on the series list page. And FFDL has no way to get the correct series list page from the story URL. I'm not interested in scanning all of an author's series pages to find the right one.

I've recently been downloading a bunch of stories from fanfiction.portkey.org for friend (she doesn't believe me about the awesomeness that is this plugin) and she's come back to me with the complaint that several stories are missing chapters. For example, downloading this one http://fanfiction.portkey.org/story/18 results in chapters 1, 3, 5, 6 and 8 to be missing. The chapter headers are there but there's no chapter content whatsoever. There are no error messages that pop up during download.

Any ideas anyone?

@Linwe - This is a problem that I've seen before with equally old stories, but on fictionalley.org. The HTML as uploaded by the author originally is flawed and confuses the HTML parser FFDL uses.

The attached version does some brute-force fixes that I don't think will break anything else.
