[GUI Plugin] FanFictionDownLoader

[JimmXinu]

FYI, v1.5.7 has been released.

[jeaterod]

is there a way for me to tweek the plugin so that when it get the chapter number the numbers 1-9 become 01-09?

[JimmXinu]

The plugin doesn't number the chapters. Any chapter numbers are coming from the source site. So, no, not really.

[ClairePMR]

Just wanted to say thanks again, Jim. This tool keeps getting better and better, and makes my obsession easier to support. Um... yeah.

[JimmXinu]

Glad I could be an enabler for you, cklls!

Wait...

[jeaterod]

so you cant tell the plugin to look at it and if the value is lower than 10 add 0 to the front?
....

[JimmXinu]

"Prologue"
"Chapter 1"
"Mission Briefing"
"Chapter One"
"Chapter I"
"Ch 2"
"3rd Chapter"
"7. Girl Talk"
"9. Chapter 9"
"‘Problems in Engineering'"

These are all chapter names from various stories on sites. It's a free form text value, not just a number. And it's not uncommon for file0001 to be 'Prologue' and file0002 'Chapter 1'. Or '2. Chapter 1', depending on the site.

I could give you an option like replace_metadata in personal.ini to modify chapter titles with a regular expression replacement, but you'd have to work out the expression to your own satisfaction.

oh sorry i dont mean in the story it self i mean in the library colomns

[JimmXinu]

Oh, you don't mean chapter numbers, you mean the number of chapters.

You want to use an integer custom column and then set the format to: {0:02d}

[jeaterod]

ok ill try that

EDIT:
awesome thanks it worked great

First of all, thanks for the plugin, it's awesome.

I read some of the info you have for adding a site, but frankly python is way over my head. I was going to ask for Adultfanfiction.net, but saw you won't add it sadly. It is completely adult oriented, hence the over abundance of warnings.

Anyway, could you maybe add HP Fandom.net?
It's an old eFiction based site (1.1 I think) and it's a large archive, actually one of the largest all Harry Potter out there.

Then there is Walking the Plank.

Hopefully you'd be able to add them.

You're welcome.

Then there is Walking the Plank, and The Silver Snitch II, both are eFiction sites.

First, I suggest including the URL when requesting sites.

Second, unless it's something that's personally interesting to me, I'm working on other things than new sites lately. But we do also have other developers who might be interested.

Eh, I may look at the first one probably next week. Not quite right now. (though, the warning on the front page is not particularly inspiring)
The second one is a bit on the small side, though.

Hi, just tried the plugin for the first time and have a question already.
Is there any chance to get http://ksarchive.com (Fanfiction Site for Kirk/Spock Stories) included into that plugin, please?

[jackr]

An idea crossed my mind for password locked stories. If the story is locked, the plugin goes to check a password section in personal.ini to see if it has a password there, and if so it tries to use the password. That way if there are a few locked stories that a reader is privy to, they can still access those stories without needing to wait for the password prompt for all the other locked stories that they aren't privy to.

Something like:

[Password]
fimfiction.net/story/796/:*password
fimfiction.net/story/6884/Moonlight-Sonata:12345

And if there is a password listed, but it doesn't match, then maybe have so the error code reflects that.

Just a thought that cropped up when I was working on a story that I have locked. I was going to try out an image inside the story, but was too lazy to go remove the fail_on_password for it.
