[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[thsisneo4u]

I recently came across novelfull.com

Unlike many other webnovel sites, they have regular updates. Will it be possible to add support for this site?

[mobiusParadox]

Hello! Would it be possible to get support for Deviantart galleries at any point? There is plenty of great fanfiction there.

Starting this morning, when I try to update books, it says that there is like 14 to update, when I select 16, there was somthing suspicous about this to begin with, but then I let those complete, it said that 10 of those were "good" updates, but they updated with 0 chapters. There were multiple sites that did this

New Test Version Posted

2020-03-08
- Add base_xenforo2forum feature skip_sticky_first_posts(on by default). Closes #470

[ownedbycats]

I saw the FAQ for marking one-chapter completed fics as oneshots. However, I sort of failed when trying to get it into my custom #fanficstatus column. How would I do that?

[JimmXinu]

Well, that FAQ about how to add 'Oneshot' as a tag specifically, so that makes sense.

There's more than one way it could be put in a custom column depending on what type your custom #fanficstatus is; what you put in it now; and how.

[ownedbycats]

#fanficstatus is a "text with fixed set of permitted values" column (Completed,Oneshot,In-Progress,Abandoned). FFF is able to populate it with either Completed or In-Progress when I download/update a fic.

Thanks again!

[JimmXinu]

This should work:

# defaults so is affects everything, but can be overridden by 
# more specific sections.
[defaults]
# 'add_to_' concats on to existing param, thus the leading comma
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,oneshot
# oneshot is a copy of status because status itself isn't a list.
include_in_oneshot:status

# Change oneshot from 'Completed' to 'Oneshot' only when
# numChapters is exactly 1.
add_to_replace_metadata:
 oneshot=>Completed=>Oneshot&&numChapters=>^1$

add_to_custom_columns_settings:
 oneshot=>#fanficstatus

Note that oneshot now contains 'Completed', 'In-Progress', or 'Oneshot'. (Assuming story has status.) And that you can use 'Update from Saved Metadata' to populate this column.

ADDED: You have to have the 'Allow custom_columns_settings to override' checkbox near the bottom of the Custom Columns tab checked.

[ownedbycats]

I tested it. It worked. Thank you!

[icecold]

So I realize that you may not be able to help me, but I've been trying to download this quest

https://forums.sufficientvelocity.co.../#post-3031624

and this post looks awful in the produced epub, much of the text is overlapping with each other.

I understand that it is quite possible that you can't do anything about this or way too much of a hassle to do anything about it.

Downloading that post by itself, it isn't pretty, but I don't see any overlapping text.

However, I personally much prefer to have legend_spoilers:true for SB/SV/etc:

[base_xenforoforum]
legend_spoilers:true

I wonder if it wouldn't be better if I made that on by default instead of optional...

Here is my personal ini, my I did something stupid in here.

Spoiler:

## This is an example of what your personal configuration might look

## titlepage_entries: category,genre, status,dateUpdated,rating
## [epub]
## # overrides defaults & site section
## titlepage_entries: category,genre, status,datePublished,dateUpdated,dateCreated
## [www.whofic.com:epub]
## # overrides defaults, site section & format section
## titlepage_entries: category,genre, status,datePublished
## [overrides]
## # overrides all other sections
## titlepage_entries: category

## Some sites also require the user to confirm they are adult for
## adult content.  Uncomment by removing '#' in front of is_adult.
#is_adult:true

## Don't like the numbers at the start of chapter titles on some
## sites?  You can use strip_chapter_numbers to strip them off.  Just
## want to make them all look the same?  Strip them off, then add them

include_images:true

## If not set, the summary will have all html stripped for safety.
## Both this and include_images must be true to get images in the
## summary.
keep_summary_html:true

## If set, the first image found will be made the cover image.  If
## keep_summary_html is true, any images in summary will be before any
## in chapters.

You're including the CSS style from the post tags, which are full of absolute sizings (with both keep_style_attr:true and add_to_keep_html_attrs:,style). Those are screwing up rendering.

You might be able to make those work if you also include a bunch of the CSS SV uses, but it's never going to be perfect because those tab tables rely on javascript to function.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to remove something added with add_to_keep_html_attrs in a story URL section in FFF personal.ini. Plus you might still want the styles for the rest of the story.

Honestly, I think your best bet is to manually edit that chapter. Or, you know, just skip it. You could even add it to ignore_chapter_url_list for that story.

If this is a common problem, I will consider adding code to FFF to strip style attrs from SV's table tags or something.

(FYI, in future, wrap personal.ini quotes in [code] tags to preserve whitespace correctly.)
