Also remember that CSS uses C++ style comments, /* */ and // not #.

- Fix for XenForo change on SB & SV--not on QQ.

Yo,

After the last update:

On spacebattles, if I attempt to download

https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre....426130/reader

I get a single page of the result, before the update, I got a chaptered result.

Something not quite right......

Also I noticed that the URL may been tweaked in the database to remove the 'reader' ending.

Update: New Version 2.13.3 fixed my issue.

Thanks

Brian

Hi!

Um, I've got another question about the keyword_filelist option. I thought I'd use it to make my .ini file a bit easier to manage by simply punting all metadata replacements/exclusions into a separate file (my metadata replacements are a ridiculous amount). And while it works very well with the replace_metadata, it doesn't work with exclude_metadata_pre or exclude_metadata_post. The error message I get is this one:

Spoiler:

Error:'list' object has no attribute 'split' in (exclude_metadata_pre_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/exclude_pre.txt

So... what does "object has no attribute 'split'" mean in this context? Am I to assume that this means the exclude parts don't work with filelist? I've read the keyword_filelist portion in the fanficfare wiki, but what's there led me to believe there's no reason it shouldn't work. Basically I'm confused and am just wondering if this is normal. If so, all is well. It already helps a huge amount to me that I can punt the replace_metadata parts of the ini outside of it. (Which reminds me: Yay! Thank you for this nifty little option! ) I'm just wondering what the problem is.

That is a bug in the threadmark implementation in SB and is being looked at as can be seen is this thread

The way threadmarks are included in the forums pages changed in SB/SV.

The post immediately above yours announces the new test version containing a fix for it. I admit the description given is pretty short.

FYI, there are more changes to the code for SB/SV coming yet.

Correct, the 'reader' part is removed. The same thing happens if you use a thread URL with 'unread' on the end. And the thread title is removed to only keep the number because thread titles can change.

I'm not able to reproduce this problem--exclude_metadata_pre_filelist works fine for me.

Can you get me a debug log? Copies of your personal.ini and the included _filelist file(s) would also help a lot. PM if you want to keep them private (but you do have to upload them somewhere and PM the links then).

For some reason, FFF (v 2.13.0 on calibre 3.1.1) isn't looking at the threadmarks for Spacebattles stories, only the links in the OP. This presents a problem when I try to update my library.
Example URL:

https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/472801/ Existing epub contains 29 chapters, web site only has 2. Use Overwrite to force update.

(30 threadmarks in story, 1 link in the OP)
How do I fix this, to get it to look at threadmarks)

New Test version posted

This--and the last test version--contain fixes for the recent SV/SB threadmark changes. I apparently did not make that sufficiently clear before.

- Add `include_author_notes` option to collect Fimfiction author's notes, thanks FaceDeer.
- Changes to base_xenforoforum_adapter to use threadmarks.rss for SV/SB, separate threadmark collection for QQ.
- Also add show_chapter_authors option for SB/SV (base_xenforoforum_adapter).

You can't reproduce it? This is strange, because I tried it out with an extremely truncuated ini file and filelist. Here, let me copy-paste it:

Spoiler:

[defaults]
default_value_status:Unknown
default_value_category:Fanfiction
default_value_rating:Not Rated
extratags: Fanfiction
titlepage_entries: storyId,seriesHTML,category,genre,language,characters,ships,status,datePublished,dateUpdated,dateCreated,rating,warnings,numChapters,numWords,site,description
website_encodings: auto, utf8, Windows-1252
replace_metadata_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/replace_metadata.txt
exclude_metadata_pre_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/exclude_pre.txt
exclude_metadata_post_filelist:file:///home/edeniz/archives/+0+fanficfare-docs/exclude_post.txt

It doesn't matter what's in the exclude_pre.txt file (in this one test case a single line: genre==Humor), because fanficfare doesn't even get to try it out. As soon as I write this in fanficfare's "edit personal ini" and click on ok, I get the aforementioned error message urging me to "return to editing" or "save anyway". So that's why I didn't include a debug log in the first place - because it doesn't get as far as trying to download anything.

But now for the sake of having tried, I clicked "save anyway" and made a download in debug. And *that* went to show where the problem is. Basically it downloaded without problems and apparently exclude_metadata_pre and _post work just fine. It's just that fanficfare wrongly gives an error message upon exiting personal.ini.

I've attached the debug log, but you don't need it anymore, I'd think, now the problem's been identified.

Yep, that's what it is. I was testing in CLI rather than plugin, so I didn't see it. My bad.

The quick-check was treating _filelist entries with the same check as the usual entry, which doesn't work. Fix in the next test version.

- Fix plugin config check for _filelist.

[madame_newbie]

Hi, I'm trying to download multiple stories via fanfiction.net using FanficFare's Get Story from URL function. What I'm trying to do is try to download stories written by the author, but when I click the link it downloads ALL the story url including ones under the Author's Favourites, which I do not want. I have tried adding /u/authorname#s but it still selected the favourite links.

Is there a way to ensure that it selects only the author's works? Thank you.

EDIT: Never mind, I found a way to bypass the issue. I just use ff.net's mobile webpage and it gave me the correct links.

I would like to set my #read custom column back to false when new chapters are added to an existing epub. Are there any parts of the ini file that are only enabled when the epub gets new chapters? (sorry if I missed something obvious or a previous post on this subject).
