[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare - Page 547

kolbinski,

If the order is changing between updates, it's either because the site is changing it or because the author(s) are. Looks like the site does alternate it in this case.

author/authorId/authorUrl are the only metadata that FFF is hard coded to keep in the same order as the server lists them instead of automatically sorting the list. That's to make sure the author name, ID and URL lists line up in the same order, which is necessary for the authorHTML metadata to work correctly.

In theory, it should be possible to use replace_metadata to force the order of each list for a particular story.

But there are some odd interactions with \, and the authorHTML generation code that would need to be fixed first. And it would have to be manually set in personal.ini for each story with that issue.

That fix touches some very old code; I want to run it for myself a few days before giving it to anyone else.

This might be a good enough reason to add special code to allow for author sorting while also keeping author/Id/Url matched up. And if so, what about the make_linkhtml_entries metadata entries? I need to think about it for a bit.

UPDATE:
You could, in the meantime, use replace_metadata to make that story only have one author:

Code:

[https://www.quotev.com/story/15144388]
add_to_replace_metadata:
 author=>^.*$=>PikachuSkitty
 authorId=>^.*$=>SnowNadder
 authorUrl=>^.*$=>https://www.quotev.com/SnowNadder

@JimmXinu - for some reason, the anchor for the new FAQ entry doesn't jump down:

https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...in-personalini

Other ones work so I think, ironically, it doesn't like the %

kolbinski · 03-10-2023, 08:55 AM

Thank you for the help that fixed it.

Are there any news concerning the possibility to download fanfics from fanfiction.net using fanficfare utility?

It doesn't work directly.

You have to use one of the proxy tools or the browser cache feature to download fanfiction.net using FFF.

- Remove doubled doreplacements/removeallentities from author(etc)HTML processing.

This change is for this:

I think these changes are okay. Watch for anything odd with replace_metadata lines on author and any make_linkhtml_entries entries.

It will now work to do this to explicitly set more than one author in a set order:

Code:

[https://www.quotev.com/story/15144388]
add_to_replace_metadata:
 author=>^.*$=>PikachuSkitty\,Quang
 authorId=>^.*$=>SnowNadder\,Quang26943
 authorUrl=>^.*$=>https://www.quotev.com/SnowNadder\,https://www.quotev.com/Quang26943

But there will be INFO level messages about "Skipping replace_metadata line 'author=>^.*$=>PikachuSkitty\,Quang' on author to prevent infinite recursion." You can ignore them.

Still a significant pain in the neck. Too much pain for something that's so rare.

Can't make use of the FFF's Browser Cache for fanfiction.net, keep getting "HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache (see FFF setting browser_cache_age_limit)'(428)". Was able to use it a few days ago without issues, checked the cache path, set cache_age to -1 and even tried another browser and still won't work.

ownedbycats · 03-12-2023, 08:53 PM

I have that happen from time to time. Clearing the browser cache and then re-opening the pages helps.

MGSaintz · 03-12-2023, 09:01 PM

Clearing cache doesn't work and with a fresh browser it still won't work, tried removing the plugin from calibre and reinstalling it, no joy.

Atherton25 · 03-12-2023, 09:11 PM

That happened to me yesterday. Was clearing cache and restarting chrome... couldn't get it to work. Was going to troubleshoot it today, as I had other things to do at the time. Tried it just now (same fic and others) today and it works fine. I have no idea why. Anytime I have issues (hardly ever) I manually clear cache reboot and try it again at least once, generally more than once.

MGSaintz · 03-13-2023, 06:18 PM

Yeah, clearing cache, rebooting, etc; browser cache still won't work gonna let this sit for a bit and hopefully what weird thing that broke it will clear itself out after a while. Or if a better solution can pop up.

JimmXinu · 03-13-2023, 06:52 PM

My only idea is if you whether you are using chapter URLs with the story title--Browser Cache requires it now.

If you want to save a zip file of the cache dir while it's not working (and you have opened all the pages appropriately) and post it (or a link or PM a link), I will take a look at it.

MGSaintz · 03-13-2023, 07:16 PM

Sent a private message with a google drive link of the cache files.

don111 · 03-13-2023, 09:11 PM

Have installed the latest version plugin, but still can not download wattpad stories after entering the URL of the story. How to fix it??

JimmXinu · 03-13-2023, 09:18 PM

I've reviewed the cache and the story chapter pages just aren't in it.

As far as I can tell, FFF is reading the cache correctly. I can't tell you why the chapter pages aren't there.

What is there is also quite odd--there are a bunch of calls ostensibly from pages sourced from fanfiction.net to https://127.0.0.1:54553. I'm baffled what that would mean, but it suggests a proxy or possibly something nefarious...

I don't think there's anything sensitive in the list of cached pages, but I'm curious if anyone else recognizes anything in the list:

Spoiler:
