Ah! That worked perfectly Jim thanks! Also really enjoying the new only update if new column option. Works great for keeping the in-progress tag from disappearing every update on these forum stories as well as keeping a nice summary/comment on it from being erased.

Thanks again for all that you do Jim!

I tried using category instead of genre, but that didn't help either. The rest is the same as in the personal.ini above.

Are you aware that you don't have to have a && clause?

replace_metadata:
# You only want to change this when it's a 'Kid Fic'?
 takesplaces=>^0 - Pre Hogwarts.*$=>0 - Pre Hogwarts&&category=>Kid Fic
# Ditto 'Anger'.
 snapeflavours=>^Angry Snape$=>Angry Severus&&category=>Anger

 snapeflavours=>^Kind Snape$=>Kind Severus&&category=>Fluff
 snapeflavours=>^Loving Snape$=>Loving Severus&&category=>Fluff
 snapeflavours=>^Overly-protective Snape$=>Overly-protective Severus&&category=>Protectiveness
# Again, why the && clause?  The story you mentioned doesn't list that ship.

Lit stories have ratings but not on the story page, it's actually in the author's submission page. e.g. ratings for the story. [LINKS DELETED - not 'family friendly']. see yellow highlight in image,

Hello Jim!

Well, that's even worse than I thought. I know that I don't have much understanding about coding, but this just floors me.

I thought that the '&&' would add the second part to the first, e.g. takesplaces=>^0 - Pre Hogwarts.*$=>0 - Pre Hogwarts&&category=>Kid Fic means in words: If you find a takeslace:tag that begins with 0 - Pre Hogwarts then change the tag to exactly 0 - Pre Hogwarts and additionally add Kid Fic to category. Obviously that is not what it means.

On the plus side, I now know why half of my tags work and the others don't! Thank you for your thorough explanation, Jim!

Um, hopefully not all too stupid question:

How do I make calibre show me more than one series in the series column? Or at least the detailed tag browser on the right? I understand that some sort of custom column needs to be created, and then in fanficare's settings I need to assign "series" to that column. But no matter what I do, it ends up being only one series that is shown in both the column and the tag browser.

Which probably obvious thing am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, you can easily add a second tag. See wiki here: ReplaceMetadata

Scroll down. It's at the end of the page.

Lit stories have ratings but not on the story page, it's actually in the author's submission page. e.g. ratings for the story Catwoman / Huntress: Eros Risen is in the author's (JTCIII) submission page. (I couldn't provide links as they are not family friendly, you can search google with 'JTCIII literotica' and the first result will be to JTCIII's submission page).

Sorry, missed your more recent post. My bad.

I could provide a floating point rating for a custom column, but I don't think I could populate it into calibre's standard 'star' Rating column.

However, each chapter has a different rating. How would you propose handling that? Take an average? Use the highest value? Or the lowest?

That should be possible.

The standard series column cannot contain more than one series.

You can create additional custom series columns (and populate them from custom_columns_settings, assuming a site/story with multiple series), but I don't know how those appear in the tag browser. I believe there's been discussion of multiple series before over in the Library Management calibre subforum.

- Fix for fimfiction.net site update -- thanks Facedeer

[JimmXinu]

New test version posted (direct link)

2016-03-07
- Add 'averrating' and tweak description: adapter_literotica

This provides a new site-specific metadata item 'averrating'. However, I've assumed that all stories/chapters have a rating (which my rather limited survey supports). If that's not true, it will need a bit more code.

The description divides the chapter descriptions with leading number, but it had to be in <p> tags or calibre did weird things with it.

I installed the latest test version, it works.. I can see the new average rating is written in the book. thanks a lot..
But, I don't see any column for this to add to my custom columns, there's only 'Words' and 'Chapters'..

However, each chapter has a different rating. How would you propose handling that? Take an average? Use the highest value? Or the lowest?

I see that you already added it as taking an average, which is great.
However I would like to propose that
1. If the story has 3 or less chapters, take average.
2. If the story has 4 or more chapters, keep all chapter's ratings separate while creating the book title page, but take average for the 'averrating' column value. (If that's possible and not much of a burden for you).

Thanks again for considering my request..

Like I said, I did try it with a custom column, but somehow it didn't work out. But thank you for the link, I'll go check it out, and then try again.

Thank you edeniz, I'll have a look at that.
