[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[MorbPtact]

I don't know if this has been brought up before (searching didn't find it), but is there a way to update the ToC (which I assume is generated by calibre) with the date each chapter was downloaded?

I assume that you would do this by either having an "update date" column, whose information would be copied into the ToC for each chapter as it is updated (though this would only work if the ToC is just updated each time, not regenerated from scratch), or by having FFF add the current date to the chapter title.

Is there such a possibility? It would be nice to be able to easily go straight to the most recently downloaded chapters, for example (I read off of a kindle, and it doesn't keep my progress when FFF updates the book from calibre).

Thank you!

When each chapter was downloaded? No.

But there are two features you might benefit from.

First is my solution to your problem: mark_new_chapters

## If true, when updating an epub that already has old chapters, new
## chapters will be marked in the TOC and chapter header by using
## chapter_title_new_pattern and chapter_title_addnew_pattern to set
## the chapter title.
## If set to latestonly, only new chapters downloaded this time will
## be marked (new) and existing chapters will have any (new) marks
## removed.
##
## mark_new_chapters can be true, false or latestonly
mark_new_chapters:false

Second, some sites give a posted date with each chapter, including AO3:

## AO3 chapters have 'date' available for each chapter.
## These can be used with custom output (see
## https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/CustomOutput ) or with
## chapter_title_*_pattern settings.
## Examples for html & epub:
#[html]
#tocpage_entry:
# <a href="#section${index04}">${chapter}</a> ${date}<br />
#[epub]
#tocpage_entry:
# <a href="file${index04}.xhtml">${chapter}</a> ${date}<br /><br />

## The 'date' value for chapters mentioned above can be formated with
## datechapter_format.  Otherwise it will default to
## datePublished_format
#datechapter_format:%%Y-%%m-%%d

FYI, XenForo sites (SB/SV/QQ/etc) have datethreadmark instead of datechapter because it's the date the threadmark was made, not the date the chapter was posted.

Is there a way for me to add a tag for books that do not have a cover already?

This is exactly what I am looking for, thank you!

## You can check for an existing cover image in the metadata
## cover_image.  cover_image can be:
## specific -- The site has an image that is specifically this story's cover
## first -- The first image in the story or story desc is used as cover
## default -- A default_cover_image was used
## force -- A force_cover_image was used
## old -- There was already a cover image in the epub.

Something like this maybe:

add_to_replace_metadata:
 cover_image=>^(.+)$=>Cover:\1
add_to_include_subject_tags:,cover_image
