Create #seriesdesc column with program: get_note('series', $series, '') and then after adding descriptions in Calibre, update the title page?

No idea. Give it a try and let us know.

I went to test and I already have in place. calibre_cust_seriesdesc on titlepage, just above description.

I figured out how to download stories from the Restricted stories of Archive of our Own for anyone else who was having troubles.

is_adult:true
always_login:true
use_archiveofourown_gay:false

Putting all of that under defaults did the trick. I couldn't make heads or tales out of the 'test version' lol.

I've written up some notes and put them in the wiki of my unsupported plugins repo under Kobo-and-KOReader if anyone is curious.

I am, as usual, long winded and overly verbose.

Thank you for this, reading now since I'm also new to the whole KOReader thing

Your solution will work for a while, until it just doesn't. Everyone here has tried every possible combination of these settings. The only thing that will permanently fix these ongoing problem(s) is if AO3 finally manages to address their ongoing server issues. Which, based upon how long this has been going on, doesn't appear likely to be happening anytime soon.

And, regarding the test version. Simply stated, the test version
is literally a version of FFF provided to users to test bug fixes, FFF changes, and/or new features between the official FFF releases. It doesn't work any differently than any other version of FFF except that you have to manually load it into Calibre.

The only time to use the test version is if you are having problems with FFF that are specifically addressed by the test version in @JimmXinu's announcement post for that test version.

To use the test version, all you have to do is download it from the official test version link in the 2nd post in this board (a link to that post is always located at the bottom of any of @JimmXinu's posts). Save the test version of the FFF plugin in a location where you can find it, and use the "Load plugins from file" option in the Plugins section of Calibre's Advanced preferences to load it into Calibre. When you do this, the test version of the FFF plugin will simply replace the most recent installed official version. Always restart Calibre after installing plugins.

And, when you are running a test version, always watch for subsequent test versions as it may take more than one release to address an issue before it is finally rolled into the next official release.

They have. Several users haven't gotten 525s on regular settings since they did maintenance mode to fix something else.

I believe @Stacey is addressing the 'login required' site change that is already fixed in test version.

Hi all,

I have done my best to hunt through the forum and the github for an answer to this - didn't see anything so I apologise if I missed it. I also thought this was the right thread as everything I read is downloaded via FFF from Ao3, then calibre will automatically organise most of it.

Recently I got a new e-reader and consequently I am reorganising how my calibre library is set up. Previously, in order to create wordcount 'categories' I used the count pages and FFF intergration.

I then had a template that I found years ago - it builds a column from the countpages result.
It would generate categories such as: '0-5k', '5-10k', '150k+' etc.
Here is the template if that helps:

program:
words=raw_field('#wordest');
length=first_matching_cmp(words,
     1, 'UNCOUNTED',
     5000, '0-5k',
     10000, '5-10k',
     25000, '10-25k',
     50000, '25-50k',
     75000, '50-75k',
     100000, '75-100k',
     150000, '100-150k',
     '150k+')

Now, when I am downloading from Ao3 I would like them to be tags instead, so for example book 'X' will have the tags in the calibre 'Tags' column: 'Sci-fi', '150k+', 'Comedy'.

Is this possible? Can I do it via the FFF personal INI? I would REALLY appreciate the help.

It should be possible to create a series of replace_metadata lines to do that. Depending on where you separate your categories, you may need more than one pattern per category. Something like:

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,wordest
wordest_label:Word Estimate
include_in_wordest:numWords
add_to_include_subject_tags:,wordest

add_to_replace_metadata:
 # 3 digits
 wordest=>^\d\d\d$=>0-5k
 # 1k-4,999
 wordest=>^[1-4],\d\d\d$=>0-5k
 # 5k-9,999
 wordest=>^[5-9],\d\d\d$=>5-10k
 # 10k-19,999
 wordest=>^1\d,\d\d\d$=>10-25k
 # 20k-24,999
 wordest=>^2[0-4],\d\d\d$=>10-25k
 # ...
 # ...
 # any comma separated number not already replaced
 wordest=>^[0-9,]+$=>150k+

FYI, for testing purposes, you can configure a dummy test story with a specific numWords values in personal.ini:

[teststory:1003]
numWords:5,999

And then use dummy story URL http://test1.com?sid=1003

Personally, I use FFF CLI with -mz to speed up testing such things.
