This has been asked and answered many times. You may request new sites, but whether they are added or not depends on the difficulty of doing so and the interest of the developers.

I also accept code contributions from users who want to add new sites themselves.

Then I would like to request support for this site:

Yes, I saw that earlier. Now we wait and see if any developers express interest.

I know you can add <url>[1,5] to specify chapters 1-5 or similar... is there a way to skip a chapter?

I'm running into a problem where http://royalroadl.com/fiction/9497 the 'suggestions' chapter is causing an issue 'http://royalroadl.com/fiction/chapter/109834' has some stupid html issues in it causing it to error out. If I could skip the chapter, I could download the book, even if it forced a duplicate chapter later.

I tried manually adding a chapter to force it to skip the chapter, but got nowhere.

Edit: I did a pretty extensive search through the thread and the old one, trying to find the answer before posting, I'm sorry if there's a place that discusses this previously.

The square bracket notation only does ranges, not exclusions. The most straightforward way to deal with it is to just do two downloads, one with URL[1-8] and then URL[10-] to skip the bad chapter 9 (assuming I counted correctly).

However, you'd have to to URL[10-] again every time you wanted to update (assuming an in-progress story), otherwise FFF would try to get the bad/missing chapters.

That's possible, but you'd want to start by doing URL[1-8], then editing the epub to add file0009.xhtml. Then you'd need to copy the <head> metadata data from file0008 (or other file) and edit the hidden tag <meta name="chapterurl" content="http://blahblahblah/chapter/url/"></meta> to contain the chapter URL for the bad chapter. Then FFF would not try to download it again.

If you see more different chapters that fail, let me know. We may want to try and do something more about it.

Atherton25 · 01-09-2017, 10:03 PM

I had done everything except edit the metaname, I couldn't figure out why it kept trying to download chapter 9 when I had a chapter in there (blank) that was chapter 9. I'd copied 8 and deleted all content but html info, I didn't realize that I had to actually edit the chapter url for it to pick it up. Works perfectly now.

It's funny I read a little bit of this with the original download and probably wont even get far enough for chapter 9 to matter, but oh well.

Now I know how to do it in the future, if needed. Thanks.

As for anything else, wuxia works great I've downloaded everybook. The only issue is that stupid way the author prepublish links to blank chapters in a couple books, and the the empty book that I had mentioned previously. Thanks for fixing the https links so they work!

For extra long stories that I'm not sure I'm going to like, I will sometimes use the chapter range to specifically limit the download size/time and then later get the rest if I like it.

New test version posted (direct link)

2017-01-10
- Generalize continue_on_chapter_error so all adapters can use it.
- Adding chapter_title_error_mark for continue_on_chapter_error, force errors to always retry on update.
- Update translations.
- Bump test version.

Due to the recent issue with royalroadl.com and wuxia needing it, I've generalized continue_on_chapter_error to work with any site or story. wuxiaworld.com is the only site it is on by default. I suggest only turning it on for specific stories if possible.

When continue_on_chapter_error:true, if a chapter fails to download for any reason, FFF will instead insert a boilerplate text for the chapter giving the chapter URL and the error. (No, this boilerplate is not configurable at this time.)

FFF will also append a mark to the chapter title so you can easily see failed chapters in TOC. You can change what it says (including making it empty), but it currently always is appended at the end. Default: chapter_title_error_mark: (CHAPTER ERROR)

Failed chapters are stored such that, while they will not trigger an update themselves, they will be retried whenever there is an update.

Spoiler:

Atherton25 · 01-10-2017, 05:08 PM

Nice! I like the change.

As for long stories? I have this compulsion to have it. I download a story, and I have it, so later on if it disappears? I still have it.

I lost a few stories I was reading years and years ago when ff.net did their mass cleansing ... I used a different fanfic download program back then, but I still read directly often too. It was pre-kindle/smartphone days when I used a PDA for reading and oh Microsoft Lit format. Heck, I'm not even sure calibre was out at the time, and it wasn't popular if it was. But I didn't download the one I was reading, and I'd read a couple I loved, but hadn't downloaded. Still haven't found some (though i do have others).

Anyway, lost a few stories and ever since then I've been a sort of digital pack-rat when it comes to fanfiction, or web novels lately. If I have interest I get it and it's there for me when I want to read. They stories don't take up much space and I have a wealth of space.

I've had that happen too. Not fun to find that a story has vanished into cyber limbo.

Before twcslibrary moved to starlibrary, when I downloaded a story in epub I would get the story photo as the cover. Since they moved to the new site, I'm no longer picking up photos. There haven't been any changes in my personal.ini. Example story: http://www.starslibrary.net/viewstory.php?sid=11460

When switched to starslibrary.net, it became a base_efiction adapter. The base_efiction code doesn't handle images (or even HTML) in summary/description. I will investigate if it's possible.

I've spent a while trying and failing to download stories from Twisting the Hellmouth (http://www.tthfanfic.org/). Eventually I tried something that worked, and managed to pinpoint the issue.

Whenever I get a link on this site, it's in secure http: https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-XXXX
That additional 's' prevents fanficfare from registering the link as valid, so I have to edit it out manually. Would it be possible to update FanFicFare to accept both http and https?

Also, I tried using the config file to put my username and password on tthfanfic, so that I wouldn't have to type it in manually. Turns out that doing that prompted FanFicFare to ask me to type my login twice for each requested story, and then abort the job because it fails to connect. Removing my login information from the ini file fixed that. This is a bit weird, but I'm assuming I did something wrong.
