add_to_extra_valid_entries:,mycharacters,mytags,mystatus

You are splitting ships, when I suspect you mean to be splitting mycharacters:

[defaults]
...
replace_metadata:
 mycharacters=>(.*)[/&](.*)=>\1 \, \2
...

"Tenth Doctor" isn't becoming "The Doctor.Tenth" for you because you are looking for exactly "Tenth Doctor", which isn't going to match " Tenth Doctor " (note spaces added when you did the mycharacters split) or the Doctor part of "Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler". Instead I suggest limiting it to mycharacters and ships only, and allowing for "The " in front of it so you don't end up with "The The Doctor.Tenth":

replace_metadata:
 ...
 mycharacters,ships=>(The )?Tenth Doctor=>The Doctor.Tenth

As for freeformtags "Alternate Universe.Human" vs "Alternate Universe", that's tricky. If you wanted to remove "Alternate Universe.Human" in favor of keeping "Alternate Universe" it would be easy. I can't find a AO3 story by searching for such a tag. Can you provide an example?

All changes together:

Spoiler:

[defaults]
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,mycharacters,mytags,mystatus
include_in_mycharacters:characters,ships

custom_columns_settings:
 mycharacters=>#characters
replace_metadata:
 mycharacters=>(.*)[/&](.*)=>\1 \, \2
 mycharacters,ships=>(The )?Tenth Doctor=>The Doctor.Tenth

Thank you for your prompt response!

The lines that I posted from my personal.ini are exactly as they appear in Calibre. I took nothing out except the lines in between. Is it even possible for mycharacters be concatenated with add_to_extra_valid_entries?

Regardless, I tried adding the comma, selected both Characters and nothing in the pull down box on the Custom Columns tab, but I still got the same result as before.

Ships, specifically is the name I'm using to access the Relationship tag on AO3. I'm trying to, first, make it a Character entry; second, split it in two, "Tenth Doctor" and "Rose Tyler"; and, third, change "Tenth Doctor" to "The Doctor.Tenth". I made the changes you suggested, but had no different result.


As for a story with redundant tags, here is an example:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/4057936
which uses both the "Alternate Universe" tag and the "Alternate Universe - All Human" tag.

The add_to_X mechanism works by concatenating what you give it to the X setting. So if extra_valid_entries:categories and you put add_to_extra_valid_entries:mycharacters, the final result is categoriesmycharacters. But if you use add_to_extra_valid_entries:,mycharacters, then it will be categories,mycharacters which is what you want.

It's a bit non-intuitive, I admit, but otherwise there would be problems using add_to_ with multi-line values like replace_metadata.

Custom and site-specific metadata entries are never shown in the drop downs. Those only show standard metadata. You have to use custom_columns_settings, which I thought you where already doing from:

custom_columns_settings:
 mycharacters=>#characters

Not sure what to tell you, there. For me those settings are doing what I understood you to want. Note that your problem may be integrating with the other settings you have. You can only have one setting for each keyword in each section, so you have to combine them correctly.

Here's the exact personal.ini I used and the title page that results:

Here's an example that works for me to exclude just "Alternate Universe" if you also have "Alternate Universe(anything)":

Spoiler:

[archiveofourown.org]

# add another copy of freeformtags that doesn't have 
# replacements/in/exclude applied.  Otherwise it gets 
# thrown out in the infinite-recursion filter.
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,rawfreeformtags
include_in_rawfreeformtags: freeformtags.NOREPL

add_to_exclude_metadata_post:
# discard exact freeformtags "Alternate Universe" if there's a 
# (raw) freeformtags that is is "Alternate Universe(anythingelse)"
 freeformtags==Alternate Universe&&rawfreeformtags=~Alternate Universe.+

Hey Jimm! I've noticed that you've been very active lately. Thanks as always for all the effort you put into the project and for your tireless nature .

Somewhat related: I've been working on a small tool that is able to easily manage/sort/search the followed stories/story alerts on various fanfiction sites (so far only fanfiction.net is supported), which might be useful for the people making heavy usage of the e-mail-related features. Once it is more fleshed out I might post it here, if you don't mind.

Sure, we can discuss that here. I'm curious how you deal with the ffnet captcha.

Just tested the new test version, it works fine for me.

Glad you like it. But it's not likely I'll add code for quotev.com quizzes--I didn't write the code to support that site. However, if somebody else does, I'll accept it.

[cryzed]

@fnabenny's I mean... why? I get why you want support for it, but why would the authors ever think it's a good idea to put their stories into the quiz section/use the quiz feature to publish their stories ? Unfortunately you can't possibly expect the developers to support every such insanity -- your complaints might be better directed at the actual authors.

I'm having trouble with some of the new stories on dark-solace.org (Elysian Fields).

Here's one of the links: http://dark-solace.org/elysian/views...4654&chapter=1

The error I get is this:

[fnabenny's]

well i just wanted to know thank you!!! i can download it but i will have to take the super slow long way. and cryzed i wanted to slap every single person who said hey why not make my story in a quiz!

[cryzed]

You and me both, sorry about this. Just for future reference: if you could link a few of those quiz stories that would be great.

Ah, I see now -- it's interactive fiction. I think that an e-reader probably isn't the best choice for these kind of stories... it might be possible, but only with very customized EPUB generation. For one FanFicFare would have to support creating internal references to chapters depending on the chapter contents etc. This seems very unlikely to be implemented unfortunately.
