And here is one, that's in multiple collections.

Give this version a try. It adds 'collections' as a site specific metadata type.

You can add it to your title pages with extra_titlepage_entries and to a custom calibre column with custom_columns_settings in your personal.ini.

Code:
[archiveofourown.org]
extra_titlepage_entries: collections

custom_columns_settings:
 collections=>#collectionscol

Thank you, it seems to be working fine.

So . . . where's the best place to put cover image exclusions in one's personal.ini? In the section for specific archives? (Would make sense for dramione, as discussed before.) For all epubs? In defaults?

I think Livejournal userhead & community icons may be found in multiple archives, though I've discovered them most frequently at AO3.

Images to exclude (as cover images) pretty much anywhere they show up:
http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif
http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif
http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif
http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif
http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png

(Maybe simplest to just exclude any images with "user" or "community" in the filename?)

Of course now that Livejournal offers custom userheads, it might be trickier.
Sample image URL:
http://l-files.livejournal.net/userhead/76?v=1320914333
From this story:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/467320

Though maybe just not allowing any images with "userhead" in the path would do the trick?

Here's a Dreamwidth userhead:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png
Example story with it:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/534858

And once I figure out the best way to handle this in my personal.ini, what's the best way to fix the stories in my Library that have userheads as their cover art? Update the story for just metadata with metadata & cover checked? Or will I want to overwrite the whole things? Remove existing cover images first? I guess I can try it a number of ways, but figure those who dig around with this stuff on the programming side might know. (I have about 100 stories with userhead covers, I guess.)

As always, your help is much appreciated. And I figure I can't be the only fanfic reader who has run across this and might find excluding these images helpful.

FFDL doesn't want to download stories with accented characters, (That, or the case in point is an anomaly).

The fanfic is question is http://www.fimfiction.net/story/51241/crepsculo-sombro

I get two errors, one if I try to download it by itself:
Quote:
coercing to Unicode need string or buffer, NoneType found
Or if I download it as part of a group:
Quote:
Traceback (most recent call last):

That's a problem with fimfiction.net, not FFDL.

The JSON API provided by fimfiction isn't including the title. See the API link for yourself.

Anybody have a contact for reporting problems to fimfiction?

The precedence order for sections (using epub from dramione.org as an example) is:
  1. defaults
  2. dramione.org
  3. epub
  4. dramione.org:epub
  5. overrides

So if you put cover_exclusion_regexp in [defaults], the value from [dramione.org] (in the system ini) will override it. If you put it under [dramione.org] in personal.ini, that will override the system ini, but only for that site.

To use one cover_exclusion_regexp setting for all sites, put it under [overrides].

The problem, of course, is that the more general the exclusion, the more likely you are to block things you don't mean to. I can help you craft regexp to meet your stated desires, but I can't make promises about false positives.

Since AO3 actually has an explicit cover feature, perhaps we should put make_firstimage_cover: false under [archiveofourown.org]...

Here's a Dreamwidth userhead:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png
This regexp meets the criteria above:
Code:
cover_exclusion_regexp:(/[^/]+(user|community)[^/]+$|userhead|/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Here's the thing: On update, FFDL will never *remove* an existing cover just because it didn't find one on the site. It used to do that, and that upset the people who make their own custom covers because it would zap them.

Removing the undesired covers: use the Modify Epub PI to remove the covers from the epubs. Then use calibre's Edit Metadata ('e' key) on the whole group at once and Remove Covers (or Set from Ebooks) to get them out of calibre, too.

Then you can use Update Always (with update cover) in FFDL if you think there might be other images that could be picked up for cover. After you've added the cover_exclusion_regexp, of course. I'd tested a couple first, before doing the lot.

Ah, I hadn't realized they had an explicit cover feature, but it makes sense that they would and that would simplify matters for that site. Excellent.

That makes sense, I'd wondered about the behavior and was trying to suss it out for myself. Had seemed like existing covers stayed which was sometimes what I wanted and a nice feature and sometimes not what I was going for. Usually the former, though. Easy enough to remove covers by editing the metadata and/or the ePub with the Modify ePub plug-in as you mentioned (which is what I'd been doing as needed).

Thanks. I'll give the cover_exclusion_regexp some tries to see how it goes. Appreciate your help! I want to learn regular expressions myself, but seem to always get sidetracked or forget what I once knew. I still know how to navigate in vi after years of not doing so very often so you'd think I could handle this.

I think I may just fix the covers by making "make first image cover" false for the ones I need to fix at AO3 for now.

As ever, I appreciate your help and love the plug-in.

FiMFiction just went through a major update of their underlying code, it's possible that some of the features and APIs that FFDL made use of changed or broke a bit. Here's the news post from the day of the big update. The big surge of site-breaking bugs seems to have passed now so I'm sure bug reports on more subtle problems that might be interfering with FFDL would receive attention. Knightly is probably the guy to talk to.

Possibly on a related note, I found two stories that aren't downloading correctly: Honey Pie (error message: "Error downloading Chapter: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/68507/2/honey-pie/test! Missing required element!") and Then Everyone was an Alicorn (error message: "Error downloading Chapter: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/6427.../i-was-serious! Missing required element!"). Both of these appear to be referring to chapters that aren't visible in the stories' chapter lists. One of the major bugs that appeared when the site was upgraded was "unpublished" chapters becoming visible to readers (the site lets authors hide chapters from public view) so I'd bet bits to bagels that the site's leaking references to unpublished chapters to FFDL and then refusing to let FFDL download them.

Edit: Oh, almost forgot, I wanted to thank you for pointing out the "don't process images" flag a little while back. I've got my lossy compression OCD all nice and satisifed now with fresh new cover images and illustrations. Thanks!

I agree about the chapters. In both those cases, it's the last listed chapter that's inaccessible. There is a chapter_count that could be used to leave those out, but is it guaranteed that any chapters that are inaccessible are at the end?

I've posted a comment on Knightly's page about the two API problems found so far.

Version 1.7.1 - 15 Dec 2012
  • Allow % escapes in ffnet story URLs and use larger ffnet story cover images.
  • Force bgcolor in JPG output images when source images have transparency.
  • Add 'collections' to AO3 specific metadata.
  • Clear Reject List cache when switching libraries.

You must replace '#collectionscol' with the lookup/search name you gave the column when you created it, and there must be a space in front of 'collections' on the line after custom_columns_settings:

Code:
custom_columns_settings:
 collections=>#collectionscol

Hey everyone,
I just noticed that some stories on fanfiction.net now have something that looks like a cover - would it be possible for the downloader plugin to have an option to download and integrate that? Here's one of those stories that has it -> http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8661803/1/The-Eyes-Have-It
