The ones that are shown in the "Alert" section.

You mean collect the story links from your own 'favorites' and 'follows' lists?

That would be quite difficult. Those pages are behind the ffnet login which uses a captcha on login.

[Tanjamuse]

Ok, it was just a thought.

- New centeredcat_to_characters pairingcat_to_characters_ships and romancecat_to_characters_ships features for tthfanfic.org.

As per @edeniz's request, I've added some code to the tthfanfic.org adapter to handle '*-Centered' and 'Pairing: *' categories different. As a bonus, there's also code for 'Romance' category pairings. There are important assumptions made that might prove to be wrong, but I haven't seen any counter examples yet.

You do have to turn them on for now (I may default them to on later):

[www.tthfanfic.org]
centeredcat_to_characters:true
pairingcat_to_characters_ships:true
romancecat_to_characters_ships:true

If centeredcat_to_characters:true, categories '*-Centered' will be left out of category and instead be added to characters (with '-Centered' removed).

If pairingcat_to_characters_ships:true, categories 'Pairing: *' will be left out of category and instead be added to characters (with 'Pairing: ' removed) and '(CenteredChar)/(PairingChar)' will be added to ships. Assumed: 'Pairing: *' only appears after '*-Centered'.

If romancecat_to_characters_ships:true, categories after 'Romance' will be left out of category and instead will be added to ships and split by '/' and added each part added to characters. Assumed: Categories after 'Romance' are 'CharA/CharB' ships.

Hello,

could anyone tell me how to disable the weird page numbers that are encrusted on the right side of the text?
Not only my kobo can put them at the bottom of the page, but they are ON the text and make it difficult to read the last four letter of the line they're on. And playing with the size of the text or the margins doesn't work. I'm totally confused.
I didn't find the option in the parameter or the solution in the thread using the search engine.

Please, help the lost dummy?

[Tanjamuse]

Are you sure it's not a setting in your Kobo?

[JimmXinu]

That's my guess as well. Or maybe something you've done processing your ebooks. FanFicFare never adds page numbers of any kind.

This is a Kobo setting. Go to Reading settings, and uncheck "Show Adobe EPUB page numbers"

I've used the new test version on several tth links. Some worked well, some not quite.

Examples:
links tth for *.-Centered:
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-25625
Works perfectly well.

http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-30307[1-3]
Moving to characters list works well, align does not.

for "Romance" and ship:
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-29819

Also works perfectly well as far as that is concerned. The slash conditional for "Romance" hits a bit of a stumbling block because of the slash in the "Action/Adventure" tag--as in, this story is not listed under "romance", but fanficfare adds it to the genre list anyway--, but that's to be expected I suppose. There's a problem with the previous align thing though: "text-align: center" is added to the output_css for .center, but the center span does not work, the align attribute gets disregarded and we get additional text "cente" right next to the part that was supposed to be centered. That's the case even with the new "keep_html_attrs" disabled. It's strange, though, because that hasn't been the case with AO3 links since the test version this new feature was introduced. Am I overlooking the obvious again?

Second link for "Romance" and ship:
http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-29819
Works perfectly well (aside from the previous mentioned align). Pairing is moved to ship list, Romance added to genre.


Should I attach the downloaded epubs in question for comparison?

(Again, thank you very much for adding this feature.)

The changes for centeredcat_to_characters, pairingcat_to_characters_ships and
romancecat_to_characters_ships are completely unrelated to anything to do with alignment.

That story doesn't use align, it uses style. Use keep_style_attr or add_to_keep_html_attrs:,style.

Which isn't going to solve all your problems because the source for that story is using <span> with a style with text-align:center, which is a bit odd and also requires an addition to CSS:

span.center {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
}

Using a span with display: block like that is poor tag choice and arguably incorrect usage by the author.

I don't see what you've talking about for this one and Romance. It's Romance > Cordelia/Xander and processing as I expected.

You're making a wrong assumption about Action/Adventure -- I'm not looking for '/' for ships, just what ever comes after Romance. And none of the examples URLs you posted have it...

Well, ok. I didn't imagine it had anything to do with cat_to_. It just seemed odd to me that the word "cente" (not even "center") was added there to the text. If it had simply been a case of refusing to align, I would not even have noticed it, let alone paid it any mind. As it was, I thought it can't hurt to let you know about it. Ultimately, it's an unimportant detail as long as it is because of a thing like that and not something that can have an effect on the usual efficiency of fanficfare, so it's negligible. That's what calibre's ebook editing features are for. And it's not like there are all that many fics with image on tth, as far as I've seen.

I posted a wrong link. My mistake.

Ok, fair enough. I expressed myself clumsily. Sorry about that. What I meant can be seen in the epub I attached (of this link: http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-30307[1-3]

This part:

Spoiler:

[CODE
]Category: Action/Adventure, BtVS, Cast: Scooby Gang
Genre: Action/Adventure, Crossover, Horror, Humor, Romance[/CODE]

Where is the "Romance" tag coming from here? That's what confused me and led me to that false assumption. Otherwise, as I said, everything is working perfectly fine, and I'm flailingly happy about i.

Thank you for your efforts and your patience with me.

I seem to have skipped the sentence about "cente" appearing when I read it--sorry about that. And I didn't see it because, again, replace_br_with_p.

It looks like replace_br_with_p is converting an HTML comment "<!--center-->" to just "cente". I will remove the code in replace_br_with_p that includes HTML comments and that makes "cente" goes away, but I can't promise it won't cause other problems.

Go look at the author page, scroll down to that story, and mouse over the 'heart' icon on the right side. That's where 'Romance' came from. Action, Comedy, and Horror also come from icons. I assume yours has Action/Adventure and Crossover due to replace_metadata.

Oh dear me, no need to do that. Not if there's potential for it causing other problems. After all, this really is negligibly minor.

How did I overlook that? *sigh*

Guess we can consider it a case closed.

New test version (direct link)

2015-12-18

- Default new centeredcat_to_characters pairingcat_to_characters_ships and romancecat_to_characters_ships features for tthfanfic.org to 'true'.
- Remove HTML comments when using replace_br_with_p.

It shouldn't be that bad. In theory, removing comments shouldn't hurt anything, but replace_br_with_p is a bunch of heuristics for handling poor HTML that somebody else wrote and I don't understand.

So I would appreciate it if users who do regularly use replace_br_with_p will try this version and let me know their results.

Thanks.

In that case I can only say,

And since I for one use replace_br all the time, I'll certainly say something if I notice anything.
