[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[culytera]

I've managed to separate the entries. The original tags appear on the epub's titlepage. However, the prefixed copies aren't being added to Calibre for some reason.

I did something like this:

[archiveofourown.org]
add_to_valid_entries:,prefix_ships,prefix_category,prefix_rating,prefix_status

include_in_prefix_ships:ships
include_in_prefix_category:category
include_in_prefix_rating:rating
include_in_prefix_status:status

replace_metadata:
 # other regex I do for cleaning up the tags
 prefix_ships: other stuff
 # then I put the prefix last, can't tell if this expression is correct since it won't show up in Calibre's tag database.
 prefix_ships=>(.*)=>p\: \1

include_subject_tags: prefix_ships,prefix_category,prefix_rating,prefix_status

It's: add_to_extra_valid_entries, not add_to_valid_entries.

Yes, the naming is inconsistent with other settings; I wasn't thinking about that when it was made.

You can temporarily add new entries to titlepage_entries while troubleshooting. Personally, I use the CLI and -m a lot for that sort of thing.

Yes that got it to work, at least for category, status and rating, I'm not sure why the relationship tags aren't getting added since they have the same expression in replace_metadata. Commented the previous expressions I used for a few pairings so they aren't included in the subject tags anymore, thought that would fix it but they're still not added to Calibre. I'm not familiar with using the command line version, but I could try to figure that out.

 prefix_ships=>^(.*)=>p: \1
 prefix_category=>^(.*)=>c: \1
 prefix_rating=>^(.*)=>r: \1
 prefix_status=>^(.*)=>s: \1

No idea. I'd have to see your personal.ini and the story URL(s) in question.

[culytera]

I found out the issue. I forgot to add a leading comma.

I also had the issue of a lone p: getting added to the tags, but I fixed it by putting the add prefix expression first, then put a ^(p: ) on all the expressions I had for removing some relationship tags.

[archiveofourown.org]
keep_in_order_characters:true
keep_in_order_ships:true
keep_in_order_freeformtags:true
keep_in_order_ao3categories:true
keep_in_order_genre:true

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,prefix_ships,prefix_category,prefix_rating,prefix_status

include_in_prefix_ships:ships
include_in_prefix_category:category
include_in_prefix_rating:rating
include_in_prefix_status:status

replace_metadata:
 prefix_ships=>^(.*)=>p: \1
 prefix_ships=>^(p: ).* - Relationship=>
 prefix_ships=>^(p: ).* - Fandom=>
 prefix_ships=>^(p: )Minor or Background Relationship(\(s\))?=>
 prefix_ships=>^(p: ).* (\()?(implied|mentioned)(\))?=>
 prefix_ships=>^(p: )(.*)&(.*)=>
 prefix_ships=>^(p: )Eventual (.*)/(.*)=>
 prefix_category=>^(.*)=>c: \1
 prefix_rating=>^(.*)=>r: \1
 prefix_status=>^(.*)=>s: \1

#ships, category, rating, status
include_subject_tags:prefix_ships,prefix_category,prefix_rating,prefix_status

Thanks for all the help!

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Calibre, so please excuse my clumsiness with this!

I'm trying to set up a fandom (or category) column; I think that i have followed the steps instructed in previous threads and comments, and couldn't figure out why my column isn't filled.

Your screen shots show that you are configured to fill your Fandoms column with Category and errors. Error column comes afterward, so it will overwrite your column with an empty string when there are no errors.

Create a different column, preferably Long Text, for recording errors.

You don't need both the GUI custom column setting and custom_columns_settings. custom_columns_settings is generally for when you want more control, such as only using some columns with some sites.

And, BTW, each line after custom_columns_settings needs to be indented by 1 space to work.

Thanks for the quick response! I removed the custom_columns_settings portion and added an Error column as you suggested.

How should I proceed from here?

Update: Just realized that it works on newly-added stories. I'm not sure how to fill the column for stories already in the library?
The metadata is already there.

FFF only updates columns on downloads/updates.

If you created and configured a 'Saved Metadata Column' you can do 'Update Calibre Metadata from Saved Metadata Column'.

Otherwise, you will have to do 'Update Calibre Metadata from Web Site'. But I would suggest creating and configuring a 'Saved Metadata Column' first.

Literotica stories downloaded with FFF adds the "Fanfiction" tag alongside the category tag (Romance, Mature etc) already assinged by Literotica. Any way to make FFF assign Lit tags only? Currently I have to manually delete the fanfiction tag.

Add under literotica in personal.ini "extratags:" like this:

[literotica.com]
extratags:

Or if you want it tagged as Original Fiction then this:

[literotica.com]
extratags:Original Fiction

[JimmXinu]

Following the precedent of mcstories.com, I will add this to defaults.ini in the next version:

[literotica.com]
#...
## Clear FanFiction from defaults, site is original fiction.
extratags:Erotica

OK so.. I don't know how I broke things but I seem to have broke things and don't know where to look to fix it. A few months ago I added several stories with FFF just fine and the tags used by the sites imported correctly.

I tried adding new stories today and none of the site-used tags are showing up. And this is from two different sources I checked (Literotica and BDSM Library). I have since tried:

Updating calibre, I was running 5.17 and am now up to 5.23. I updated the fanficfare plugin since it seemed it needed an update too (didn't note what version but it was up to date as of May) and have even tried uninstalling and re-installing the plugin. I have not changed any *.ini file, I can not find a check box I might have hit that would do this, I have no rules removing metadata of new books, I don't know where to keep looking.

It was working at the end of may, fast forward to now and it's not working and I can't find out why. If you need any more details let me know but honestly I don't know which stats are even important for solving this problem.
