Hmmm. For no reason that I understand, the noscript wasn't coming through correctly when getting the text for the whole span. So I rashly assumed that Soup wouldn't find it by name either. Changed.

That looks like another premium/non-premium difference. Non-premium doesn't get the '[More'. So I've made it conditional.

Attached is a version with these latest changes.

The "More Info" is a link but "[" isn't part of it. It was a dumb idea for a test from me.

I took a step back, looked at the code, the web site page and the BeuatifulSoup manual. The result was and the attached adapter. I have tested with two different ids and a set of cases that cover completed, inactive and in progress.

Hi!

I was updating my ff.net library and noticed that if a story has no new chapters, nothing is updated except for the error column (if I want it).

Since I use the number of reviews and favs to choose which story to read, is there anyway that I can get updated metadata, without using the "update metadata only" option?

Thanks in advance for you attention.

I don't understand. You want only the metadata updates, and the option only updates the metadata. Seems to me that this option does exactly what you want, doesn't it? What do I miss?

[doudda]

Sorry I should've explained better.
When I select my entire library and bulk update it, some stories that have new chapters are updated (including the metada), but the stories that have no new chapters are skipped (no new metada, even if there are changes in the reviews and favs).

What I am asking is if there is anyway, during the bulk update, I can make the metada update every time, while at the same time I get new chapters if there are any.

Did I make myself clearer? English is not my first language.

Well you were clear, it's just that the "update calibre metadata only" update mode seems to do what you want. Just tried it on a story last updated in 2012, and it did ask me whether I wanted to update Calibre.

I don't have any column for favs or review though, so obviously I can't see if those particular two are updated.

EDIT: Ah, yeah, I see; you want a metadata update only for those with no new chapters, and a full update for the others, all in one round, is that right?

I do not recommend using FFDL that way. It generates a lot of traffic on the server. I highly recommend using email notifications from the sites you read to find out about updates and then update only those stories.

Yes, use Update EPUB Always.

Yes that's what I wanted.

Ok, thanks. I never really tried that option.

Hi, as part of the fixes/enhancements for replace_br_with_p does that fix the part where it super sizes the text in the story?

After I added "replace_br_with_p:true" to my [archiveofourown.org] the font size in the stories I downloaded went up a few points in sizes. I have to adjust down to xs on my reader.

I didn't make any other changes to my css override script and I'm not sure how to adjust the new "p" font size when the br tags are replaced?

I hope that made sense...

I'd appreciate any and all help,
Amalthia

replace_br_with_p shouldn't effect font size unless your CSS lists different size for text in p tags vs other tags.

If you have keep_style_attr set to true, there may also be style attributes from the original site coming through.

Without seeing the source story, your personal.ini and the epub generated, all I can do is speculate.
