[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[Amalthia]

Hello,

I've upgraded my Calibre to the new 6.0 version.

After that when I downloaded a new fan fiction story, I noticed that my "output_css:" code no longer accepted "@font-face" information. When I have a @font-face line of code "fanficfare" disregards all my output_css settings. When I remove the @font-face block of code, the rest of the css is used to format the newly downloaded story.

Here is the output_css: I used in my personal.ini settings:

@font-face {font-family: "Times New Roman";  font-weight: normal;  font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/fonts/Times-New-Roman.ttf);}
@font-face {font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/fonts/Times-New-Roman-Bold.ttf);}
@font-face {font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;
src:url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/fonts/Times-New-Roman-Italic.ttf);}
@font-face {font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///ebook/fonts/../../mnt/sdcard/fonts/Times-New-Roman-Bold-Italic.ttf);}

body {font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 1em; background-color: #ffffff ;
text-align: justify; margin: 2%; -epub-hyphens: none; adobe-hyphenate: none;
-webkit-hyphens: none; -moz-hyphens: none; hyphens: none;}
p {font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-indent: 15pt;}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { text-align: center; padding-bottom: 10pt;}
.CI {
text-align:center;
margin-top:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
padding:0px;
}
.center {text-align: center;}
.cover {text-align: center;}
.full {width: 100%; }
.quarter {width: 25%; }
.smcap {font-variant: small-caps;}
.u {text-decoration: underline;}
.bold {font-weight: bold;}

I use the @font-face for my Sony PRS readers. Please let me know if you need any other information.

When posting personal.ini settings, please use [code] tags instead of [quote] tags. The spacing matters and isn't preserved with quote.

Can you post an epub that displays the problem? And one that worked correctly in Cal5? (SFW please.)

I don't use embedded fonts, so I'm not well setup to test this.

UPDATE:
You can't be using the settings as posted directly in personal.ini, because the % signs aren't doubled to escape them. Are you using output_css_filelist instead? Because that also makes a difference...

UPDATE2:
I'm able to put your settings above in personal.ini (once fixed) and have them show up in the epub. Again, I don't have font files handy, so I don't know if they actually work.

I've updated my previous post to use the code tag instead of quotes.

I think I've also found out what I was doing wrong. I didn't have a space before the @font-face line of code.

This is what I had posted that failed:

@font-face

I updated my script to add the space and it worked.

 @font-face

Thanks for your time and your help! I think once I heard that it worked for then it gave me an idea of what could be wrong.

Best Regards,

I am having trouble getting images associated with a story.

After updating Calibre to 6.0, my add_to_output_css doesn't work. If I downgrade Calibre back to 5 it works again. I didn't change anything prior to upgrading Calibre.

add_to_output_css:
 body { font-family: "Segoe UI Variable Small", "Roboto", sans-serif; text-align: left; }
 .tag-summary-content p { margin: 0 0 0.75em 0; }
 .tag-summary-content a { text-decoration: none; color: white; }
 .tags {
  display: block;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0.175em 0;
 }
 .tag-label {
  display: block;
  margin: 0;
 }
 dd { margin-left: 0.75em; }
 dl, dt { margin: 0; }
 hr { display: block; height: 1px;
  border: 0; border-top: 1px solid;
  margin: 1em auto; padding: 0; width: 75%%;
 }
 body.fff_titlepage {
  background-color: #980101;
  color: white;
 }
 .fff_titlepage .title h1,
 .fff_titlepage .title h2 {
  font-size: 2.5vmax;
 }
 .fff_titlepage .title h1,
 .fff_titlepage .title h2,
 .fff_titlepage .title a {
  margin: 0;
  color: white;
 }
 .fff_titlepage .title a, .fff_titlepage .series a { text-decoration: none; color: white; }
 .stats { font-size: 2.5vmax; margin-top: 0.5em; }

Also there's an error when using the find bar when editing the personal.ini or viewing plugin-defaults.ini.

Since the last update (or maybe even the one before) there is no prompt for the adult stories if I try to update a series. So the usual Update Existing Fanfic Books starts checking, and ends up with zero updates, because there was no confirmation, as the log says: Story requires confirmation of adult status.
The only way to update a story for now is to start it all over again and delete the old one.

Works fine for me. Can you describe "having trouble" in more detail?

I'm not seeing any issues when I paste your settings into personal.ini under [defaults]. What exactly are you seeing?

Should already be fixed in the last test version. Link in my sig.

Set is_adult:true in personal.ini to avoid this.

I assume you mean you are downloading a series as an anthology. I'll have to go look to see if this is broken or expected.

The whole 'are you adult' thing is kind of moot when you're downloading from a site called Literotica. I expect most users to have is_adult:true unless they specifically want to avoid adult content.

New Test Version Posted

- Remove site: webnovel.com See #843

FYI, I plan to release a point version shortly to address the cal6/qt6 edit search issues.

It should look like the image on the left, but on Calibre 6 it looks like the image on the right. I'll post the titlepage settings as well.

This did make me realize I should figure out how to hide the Additional Tags line if there aren't any additional tags lol

Edit: I forgot about titlepage_entries, it'll change the formatting a little but it's fine. My only problem now is the CSS not rendering properly on Calibre 6 for some reason.

add_to_output_css:
 body { font-family: "Segoe UI Variable Small", "Roboto", sans-serif; text-align: left; }
 .tag-summary-content p { margin: 0 0 0.75em 0; }
 .tag-summary-content a { text-decoration: none; color: white; }
 .tags {
  display: block;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0.175em 0;
 }
 .tag-label {
  display: block;
  margin: 0;
 }
 dd { margin-left: 0.75em; }
 dl, dt { margin: 0; }
 hr { display: block; height: 1px;
  border: 0; border-top: 1px solid;
  margin: 1em auto; padding: 0; width: 75%%;
 }
 body.fff_titlepage {
  background-color: #980101;
  color: white;
 }
 .fff_titlepage .title h1,
 .fff_titlepage .title h2 {
  font-size: 2.5vmax;
 }
 .fff_titlepage .title h1,
 .fff_titlepage .title h2,
 .fff_titlepage .title a {
  margin: 0;
  color: white;
 }
 .fff_titlepage .title a, .fff_titlepage .series a { text-decoration: none; color: white; }
 .stats { font-size: 2.5vmax; margin-top: 0.5em; }

## Items to include in the title page
## Empty metadata entries will *not* appear, unless .SHOW_EMPTY is
## appended.  Eg: titlepage_entries: ..., characters.SHOW_EMPTY,
## ships,... will always display Characters, but only show
## Relationships if there are any.  You can include extra text or HTML
## that will be included as-is in the title page. Eg:
## titlepage_entries: ...,<br />,summary,<br />,...
## All current formats already include title and author.
titlepage_entries:seriesHTML


## metadata ${title}, etc.  Make sure to keep at least one space
## at the start of each line and to escape % to %%.

Thank you, that did it.
Was it a change in the plugin that brought this?

From what I see, the red background doesn't appear in the cal5 reader, either. It does in both the cal5 & cal6 Edit book preview.

Honestly, FFF is only responsible for getting the CSS into the file. Whether it works or not is between you, your CSS and the reader program you use.

If you still think there's something different in FFF in cal5 vs cal6, please post the two epubs(from cal5 & cal6) and I'll dissect them.

I'm not seeing it--the 'Are you adult?' dialog is appearing for me in cal6 doing an anthology update with an adult story.

The only thing that comes to mind is I vaguely recall some adapters throw the AdultCheckRequired required during chapter update instead of metadata collection. Without knowing the site, I don't know.

New Version Released

Point release for calibre 6 fix.

Version 4.14.3 - 2022-07-15
- Update translations.
- Remove site: webnovel.com See #843
- Fix for qt6 vs qt5 in Calibre6 and personal.ini search.

[slantybard]

I'm not sure if this has been answered somewhere already, but I was wondering if there is a way to have FFF automatically start a new line/entry after pasting a fanfic url into the download window. This would save me from always having to enter a "return" keystroke after every pasted link when downloading multiple fanfics.
