Well, your user name is apt, I guess. In the absence of any other description, I will assume that you can't download the whole story.

FanFicFare only works with XenForo Forum story threads that either have threadmarks or an index post.

Ouch. Anyways, is there a tutorial on how to use personal.ini? All I know is on what's on the my personal.ini. There's nothing in particular I want to know, just what does what.

Sorry, I couldn't let that name paired with a 6 word problem report pass unremarked.

There isn't a tutorial per se, but there are some wiki pages that cover some aspects in greater detail.

The best place to see what all is available is to view defaults.ini, which you can see from the personal.ini tab or online here.

Is there any way to set up FFF to download stories from "A different Forest"?

It's been requested before, but when I just tried to go to adifferentforest.com, it's a malware site.

[cryzed]

I think it's: http://www.adifferentforest.net/. But it looks like they are just linking to other fanfiction websites? So I'm not sure what's being requested here.

[JimmXinu]

It does appear that there are stories under http://www.adifferentforest.net/Fiction

However, there doesn't appear to be much activity:

Plus, it looks like all stories fit on one page if you search with an empty field.

I've updated the status for adifferentforest on the SupportedSites wiki page, but I'm not interested in adding support for it myself right now.

I'm trying to download this story
https://forums.sufficientvelocity.co...-the-death.87/

Specifically using the index here
https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/1316/

However I'm guessing that because the index is in spoiler boxes, it is unable to read the links. If that is the issue, would it be possible to add a way to read the links in spoiler boxes.

Every time I try to get urls from e-mail I get an error saying I cannot login to gmail.

Already entered in the url from the message, and allowed "less secure apps" but it still doesn't work.

Yes, it does read inside spoiler boxes. No that post doesn't use spoiler boxes, it uses an accordion setup, presumably from jquery-ui. And FFF appears to me to be reading the links inside the folds fine.

I gave it the URL post https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/1316/, but I did limit the chapters first [-5] and then [120-125], which are in the first two accordion sections. I don't want to download 1,586 chapters if it can be avoided.

How exactly is it not working for you? Do you have an error log? Debug log?

If it's a specific chapter link that's incorrect, you might try setting continue_on_chapter_error:true

## Because base_xenforoforum adapters can pull chapter URLs from human
## posts, the odds of errors in the chapter URLs are vastly higher.
## You can set continue_on_chapter_error:true to continue on after
## failing to download a chapter and instead record an error message
## in the ebook for that chapter.
continue_on_chapter_error:false

Did you also make sure to enable IMAP in GMail?

Did you try the other steps suggested in the linked help page?

If you've been trying a lot, you may bumped into this one:

Make sure your mail app isn't set to check for new email too frequently. If your mail app checks for new messages more than once every 10 minutes, the app’s access to your account could be blocked.

Working on getting a log, will take a while though. I'll edit it in when I get it. Going by past experiences, it will be about an hour.
Edit: Here it is

As far as limiting how much it grabs, yesterday I did manage to get the posts from tabs 1-9 by trying the index on the 9th thread which doesn't have the accordion tabs, which is why I thought it may have been the issue. So really, I only need the contents of tabs 10-16, though I don't know how to only select those.

Edit: Unable to switch to "continue_on_chapter_error:true"
doesn't appear to be in personal.ini and defaults.ini is read only and I can't locate the file to edit outside of the program.

Do you think fictionhunt.com could be added?

From the Support Sites wiki page:

fictionhunt.com - No description is given of the site at all, but it appears to only contain stories copied from fanfiction.net. Whether that's with permission or not isn't mentioned. I'm not sure what to make of this one.
