[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[klcivinski]

I got the cache error fixed. but now I am getting


cloudscraper reports: "Detected a Cloudflare version 2 Captcha challenge, This feature is not available...."

Is this just Fanfic.net changing and blocking things again and I need to wait for the next update of the plug-in? Which is fine. Or is there another thing that I need to fix in the personal.ini?

Thank you for all your help and all you do with this plug-in.

The above looks correct. Assuming, of course, that cxmz1llt.default is correct and not just copied from somewhere else. I would be searching myself: https://www.google.com/search?q=linu...cache+location

This error suggests that browser_cache_path is set to /home/kathrin somewhere that overrides the [defaults] value...

REMOVED BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS METHOD WITH REGARDS TO TOUCHING THE defaults.ini KEPT CAUSING ISSUES WITH AO3. Basically it kept saying that what I downloaded and what I have on cache don't match and so it won't download and updated.

I had to uninstall and gain back the original default.ini and now I can download from AO3 without issues. Removing this to prevent anyone from repeating my mistakes.

Or you could go into FFF config on the personal.ini tab and click the button that says 'View Defaults (plugin-defaults.ini)'. See attached image.

You can't edit plugin-defaults.ini from here, but you can search it. It should never be necessary to edit plugin-defaults.ini.

That's [defaults] section. It has to be lowercase, not uppercase.

Hahaha, sorry. But when I tried to edit from 'View Defaults (plugin-defaults.ini)' it told me it was read-only. And adding the cache address through personal.ini kept telling me I have to add in in defaults.ini or it will simply not work.



But yeah, my method is risky but so far I have finally managed to download from ff.net (albeit by clicking each chapters to get the full fic) but for anyone who probably don't want to mess with defaults.ini via text, how does one edit via the fff customize?

You mean this warning? The one about [defaults] section?



I do see that I didn't have [defaults] in the first example block in the Browser Cache Feature page. I've added it.

(That page also mentions how to use WebToEpub to help download all the pages.)

If you want to edit the plugin, go right ahead--it's open source after all. But I advise against editing the plugin except for development purposes.

Yeah, that warning! And how did I miss that LINK for that extension? But thank you! I actually went into the default.ini via the folders cause I was at loss as how to edit via fff in the first place since default.ini was on read-only; was it supposed to editable? Did I screw up updating somewhere?

plugin-defaults.ini is not supposed to be editable. Anything you put in personal.ini overrides it.

I think you may still be confusing [defaults] section (of personal.ini) and defaults.ini, which are two different things. Both personal.ini and defaults.ini will typically have a [defaults] section.

There's a wiki page that explains: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/INI-File

I noticed if I use "update always" on a fanfic that had been downloaded with another tool, it acts like overwrite always. (Using "update if new chapter" gets an error.) Why does this happen?

[JimmXinu]

I assume because the chapter files inside the zip aren't named the same as FFF is looking for.

Hi, sorry to bother but I need some help finding the personal.ini tab in the google chrome browser cache location for fixing the cloudflare issues with fanficfare on ff.net.

I'm on a Macbook Air and after looking online, I found the cache location by going to finder and searching w/ Cmd+Shift+G "/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Caches/Google/Chrome/." This lets me find the cache, but I've looked through the folders and there's nothing labelled personal.ini and there's no tabbing. What should I do?

I've run into a bug on royal road. Where spaces get eaten by the program when the space is italicized, the space alone. <em> </em>


It turns from that.

To this.

Tho I'm not sure if there would be an easy fix from my end. I don't know what I'm doing.
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/16...-possibilities - link to the chapter of the story where I noticed it.
However looking at other stories, they don't have this fucked up formatting.

I've found an issue with sb/xenoforo adapter. It looks like the Publish Date is pulling from the threadmark creation date rather than the first post/thread creation date.

See this thread for an example: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...d-d-si.264789/
