FLAG (Fanfiction.net Lightweight Automated Grabber) and Calibre?

malkie13 · 02-10-2009, 03:14 PM

Currently I've been using the web version of FLAG ( http://flag.erayd.net/ ) to grab fanfiction.net stories for the missus to read away from a machine. It's simple enough, but it seems like there might be a way to incorporate this functionality similar to how you can fetch news and suchlike.

Browsing through the news recipies that are built in, it looks like it would be possible to input the Story ID and have it pull that way.

That said, I'm going a little cross-eyed trying to figure out how one could do this. It's not a necessity, mind you, it'd just be damned convenient.

Thanks for any feedback / help.

It can certainly be done using the recipe system. You use the username as the id and implement the parse_index method in your recipe to get the story.
