[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

The author link in the calibre database is not updated for me when I call FanFicFare with Update Calibre Metadata unchecked. Other than that, it's not separately configurable (except by replace_metadata).

I'm not familiar with "search-calibre" as an author link option--can you explain where it's set?

Preference > Look and Feel > Book Details Tab first line Default Author Link Template --with input window and button (gives the search-calibre)

Added this to my personal.ini
metatags is the column name I want the tags to go into.
First line worked second line didn't.

include_subject_tags: status
metatags: extratags, genre, category, characters, ships,

Custom Column Tab: only allows for one option (in your drop down list) to populate.

Okay, I see it now. And while a story update with Update Calibre Metadata unchecked leaves the author URL alone, a new book does not.

I'll look into making setting the author URL optional since there's an alternative now.

You need custom_columns_settings in personal.ini. One way would be:

custom_columns_settings:
 extratags=>#metatags,r
 genre=>#metatags,a
 category=>#metatags,a
 characters=>#metatags,a
 ships=>#metatags,a

Note the 'r' for replace on the first line and the 'a' for append on the later ones.

(For future reference, use a new post to raise additional issues. I frequently will not see edits to past posts if I've already read it. Also, use CODE tags rather than QUOTE tags for code blocks--QUOTE tags are left out when replying.)

I've posted a new test version (direct link) that makes setting the Calibre Author URL optional. There's a checkbox on the FanFicFare config Standard Columns tab.

Thank you for your help, especially the coding. You've saved me from a lot of manual editing.

Appreciate the tip; still learning the mechanics of this forum.

The new Calibre Author URL option is working fine.

I'm not getting any error. Can you post a debug log?

[fathertyme]

Ok, so I'm an idiot.

rebooting the machine fixed it *sighs*

ignore me :P

It looks like Literotica is not working with the plugin... (or it could be on my end)

So after some troubleshooting I still haven't gotten the update through email feature to work. I'm trying to have my updates come from Gmail but every time I click on the button, I get the following error:

Anyone else have this issue and figured out how to fix it?

Bixel -- a getaddrinfo failed error means the plugin cannot connect to the internet (or at least resolve that particular website). Can calibre connect to email books, download metadata, fetch news recipes?...

Your antivirus may be blocking calibre from connecting to the network. Make sure calibre is on the exclusions list.

Add this to your personal.ini for the affected website:

use_ssl_unverified_context:true

I don't get that error.

Assuming you already have the latest versions of calibre and FanFicFare, there are two possibilities that we've seen in past:

You might not have the most current Microsoft Root certificate update installed. Please see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125 and install the Microsoft Update listed for YOUR O/S.

Or the error message is the same as this previous problem. The same solution might work for you:

[literotica.com]
use_ssl_unverified_context:true

[grognard]

I do have the latest versions. Now the real newbie question....

Where is the personal.ini file? If it is a file that I need to make myself, where does it get put?

In the plugin, it's not in a separate file, but a block of text kept in the library database.

In the FanFicFare config dialog (reachable from the plugin menu or from calibre's Preferences->Plugins), the second tab is labeled 'personal.ini'. There's a button 'Edit personal.ini'.

I am able to download books/metadata from the internet via "Download From URL's" as well as updating pre-existing books, so I don't think it's a problem of my firewall blocking Calibre from connecting to the internet. I will try putting your line of code in and see what happens.

Ok, just tried it and I got this error (I think it's the same one) :

I'm not sure but it almost looks like it is unable to connect to Gmail. Does anyone have a setup that is working with a regular Gmail account?

For everyone's information, Bixel925 asked me about this in PM earlier--that's why I haven't been commenting here.

I explained:

That error means that it's not getting an address for that name.

Most likely, you have the wrong name configured for your IMAP server.

It's possible, but less likely you have firewall/security software on your computer that's blocking calibre from looking up names.

(Another reference for that error code.)

And later I said:

Check for an extra space at the end of the server name (and user, pass & folder). Copy/paste in windows will often leave one.

I was able to duplicate your error by putting a space there. (I'll add code to FanFicFare to strip off leading/trailing spaces to those parameters later.)

Bixel925 reported checking for extra space on the server name and not having any. That's when I suggest posting here to see if anyone else had an ideas.
