Update your Calibre program first. According to the error message your Calibre is older than 1.13.

Exactly correct.

The error message says:

calibre, version 1.7.0
...
InvalidPlugin: The plugin ... needs a version of calibre >= 1.13.0

thanks to both.
Now, the problem is the pluging isn't appeared at the toolbar.

Check the right most side of the toolbar. Are there two little down arrows? If so, it means there are more icons than can be displayed at once on your toolbar. Click on that and the rest of the icons will appear.

If you don't have those little down arrows then you need to add the FFDL icon to your toolbar.

Preferences=>Toolbars=>The Main Calibre toolbar

You then need to find the FFDL icon and click the arrow to add it to your toolbar

Is it possible to have both a custom column with Created date and another column with modified date?

Because at the moment they're showing the same time and date.

I also have some problems with my custom Column for ratings. It shows up all weird.

PG-13 which is supposed to be Teen show up as Older Kids-13

PG is Older Kids, which becomes PKids

The G=> Kids is fine.

rating=>NC-17=>Adults Only
rating=>PG-13=>Teen
rating=>PG=>Older Kids
rating=>G=>Kids

I hope it's understandable.

Crazy enough the NC-17 works fine and becomes Adults only.

Created date from FFDL is when FFDL last created/updated the ebook file. calibre's modified date is when the book in calibre was last modified. See the connection? They will be the same a lot of the time.

The changes for the split-list feature last month slipped in a small change in behavior for non-split-list replace_metadata. Instead of applying each replace line from top to bottom it's using just the bottom most matching replace line.

I believe the attached test version will restore the old behavior. But might cause problems if people have crafted their replace_metadata since then not expecting it.

Changing your patterns to exact matches will work with either:

 rating=>^PG-13$=>Teen
 rating=>^PG$=>Older Kids
 rating=>^G$=>Kids

Is it possible to make the Author and Story URL "clickable", because at the moment they just show up as text. I've made two separate custom columns.

Use the Author(s) option instead of the Author sort. Author(s) is already clickable. Add identifier to your options. It's also clickable and contains the story url.

Thanks.

If anyone have time I have a couple of sites I would like to be added (or at least looked at).

Anyone can explain to me what this means and what, if anything, I should do about it?

There was a fix-up release posted a couple hours after initial release, looks like you got the initial release - the fixup was to correct that error, See ==>> V 1.46 - Error with Author Link

Get a new download from here ==>> Download calibre and reinstall - you won't lose anything.

Look at your FFDL Config dialog towards the bottom of the Basic tab on the left. There's an 'Automatically Convert new/updated Books' option.

You'll need to set your default Convert target in calibre's Preference -> Behavior. I recommend AZW3 rather than mobi.
