[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[JimmXinu]

Without legend_spoilers:true, spoilers come out with an unusable button which couldn't be easily fixed in CSS, which is why it got special code.

Quotes already come out indented and, as you already figured out, some CSS can adjust the appearance.

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to request but can I please request a feature: is it possible to make it so that in fanficfare log, those fanfics with errors are group sorted/listed together according to the error( for easier bulk copying).For example "Story does not exist" stack together,
urlopen error [WinError 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host-stack together
Bad Story URL--stack together
Existing epub contains # chapters, web site only has # Use Overwrite to force update-stack together
HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests-stack together
Please consider this feature, if possible
Thank you

 category=>(Mass Effect - All Media Types)=>Mass Effect: Andromeda&&category=~^Mass Effect: Andromeda$

This ran on a few fics tagged "Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy". What did I do wrong on the conditional?

Also, is there a better way to merge the "All Media Types" tag only if either Trilogy or Andromeda are present?

What happens if I use Always Update but the url leads to a story with many less chapters than it had before. I don't want to accidently lose my copy of a fic that's been deleted from the internet. I mainly just want to update the CSS.

From my understanding it just doesn't add new chapters. I just want to be absolutely sure.

It'll delete the missing chapters.

In my experience, the old ePub gets moved to the recycle bin. But to rely on that is not a good idea. You can use add book > add empty book > duplicate book with "copy formats" checked, or polish epub (just embed the cover) to make an original_epub.

I've added Chrome Cache to download from, but I still get errors on some chapters, in spite of having all the chapter-pages in chrome cache. It varies how many chapters fail.

Example:
error: Download epub completed, 12 failed chapters, 23 total chapters.
url: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6968129/1/Magica

Under Defaults:
browser_cache_path:C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\G oogle\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

Under Fanfiction.net
use_browser_cache:true
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0

Have I done something wrong?

I use the latest test version.

"## Note that if metakey == conditionalkey the conditional is ignored." You can't use category in a conditional for category.

And even if you could, it wouldn't have fit the case you described: "Mass Effect - All Media Types, Mass Effect Trilogy" isn't matched by ^Mass Effect: Andromeda$.

I'd need to see the story URL before thinking about it any more deeply.

If your quote is accurate, you have an extra space in 'G oogle' in your browser_cache_path which will prevent browser cache from working.

Which would explain your issues--especially since you haven't shared what the error(s) you are seeing are.

UPDATE:
Try setting use_browser_cache_only:true (under ffnet section), then FFF will only use the cache.

It's weird, I don't get the space in Google when I look in my PI. Originally I copied the string from windows, I've now written Google out myself and it looks the same. I'll run some more stories and see if it has helped.

Thanks for a solution to the Cloudflare problem.

It actually activated when I didn't want it to. Commenting out the line prevented that from happening. I have another idea though so I will try that.

EDIT: This worked! A while back I also shared a similar code (for characters) on MetadataManagement.

exclude_metadata_pre:
## Removes redundant "Mass Effect - All Media Types"
 category=~^Mass Effect - All Media Types$&&category=~(Mass Effect: Andromeda|Mass Effect Trilogy)

I've written a new wiki document about using the browser cache feature:
https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...erCacheFeature

I appreciate some feedback on whether it covers all the necessary details clearly.

New Test Version Posted

2021-02-15
- Add additional_images setting for html & epub formats. Close #648

## When include_images:true, you can also specify a list of images to
## include in the EPUB or HTML, such as for use in customized CSS.
## Specified images will be included as "images/<basename>".  So
## "images/background.jpeg" and "images/someimage.gif" in the examples
## below.  No processing is done on additional_images.
## Note that when used with HTML format in the FFF Calibre Plugin,
## Calibre will discard any images that aren't used.  Set up your
## custom output_css before testing additional_images.
## Note also that services such as imgur will start blocking you if
## you get images from them too often.  It's better to have your own
## local copy.
#additional_images:file:///C:/Users/user/Desktop/nook/background.jpeg,http://www.somesite.com/someimage.gif

I got the same error as yesterday, although it doesn't really register as an error, but I don't know what else I should call it.

I've attached images of what I see and here's the string copied directly from my PI.

[Defaults]
browser_cache_path:C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Goo gle\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache

[www.fanfiction.net]
use_browser_cache:true
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0

Here's the story link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10551226/1/

I don't know if it makes a difference, but the URL is from inside an txt-file and not from the Ids column in Calibre.

I am still seeing space in "\Go ogle\" when you paste it here. I suggest you go delete that word your path and manually retype it.

Chapter errors record the error that caused them inside the ebook. Please look inside and report back what the error is.

A debug log would also help. Restart Calibre in debug from under Calibre's Preferences drop down before running the download.

Remember to attach or use [code] tags around debug log.

[Tanjamuse]

I did retype it yesterday, although then there was a space between G and oogle.

Error

FanFicFare failed to download this chapter. Because continue_on_chapter_error is set to true, the download continued.

Chapter URL:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10551226/1/

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
FailedToDownload: cloudscraper reports: "Detected a Cloudflare version 2 chal

[JimmXinu]

That error says that the cache isn't being used for that page.

Without debug log or seeing your personal.ini directly, that's all I can tell you about it.
