Thanks it works like a charm....

Refreshing not have all those AO3 tags....

Bubble sorting....?

Is this conceptually possible within Fanficfare for ships/relationships tag?

My objective is uniformity of the ship tagging order either by Alphabetically or by Preference.

Name 1/Name 2/Name 3/Name 4/Name 5

Input:
Severus Snape/Voldemort/Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter
Harry Potter/Severus Snape/Voldemort/Draco Malfoy
Harry Potter/Severus Snape/Draco Malfoy/Voldemort
Severus Snape/Draco Malfoy/Voldemort/Harry Potter
Severus Snape/Voldemort/Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter

Preference Method: Using reg code I swap placement order. Name 1 is listed last in the personal.ini file since the program reads top-down. This allows for personal preference.

This method is WORKS but requires a lot of "ship swap"coding.

##__FIRST Normalization

 Harry Potter \- J\. K\. Rowling=>Harry Potter
 Harry P\.=>Harry Potter&&category=>Harry Potter
 Hermione G\.=>Hermione Granger&&category=>Harry Potter

 Tom R\. Jr\.=>Voldemort
 Tom Riddle Jr\.=>Voldemort 
 Tom Riddle \| Voldemort=>Voldemort
 Tom Riddle=>Voldemort

 Draco M\.=>Draco Malfoy
 Lucius M\.=>Lucius Malfoy
 Severus S\.=>Severus Snape

##__Ship Priority (last in list take priority) Bubble Sort?

 (.*)\/Lucius Malfoy=>Lucius Malfoy/\1
 (.*)\/Draco Malfoy=>Draco Malfoy/\1
 (.*)\/Hermione Granger=>Hermione Granger/\1
 (.*)\/Luna Lovegood=>Luna Lovegood/\1
 (.*)\/Severus Snape=>Severus Snape/\1
 (.*)\/Voldemort=>Voldemort/\1 
 (.*)\/Harry Potter=>Harry Potter/\1

 (.*)\/Loki=>Loki/\1
 (.*)\/Tony Stark=>Tony Stark/\1

 (.*)\/John Sheppard=>John Sheppard/\1
 (.*)\/Jack O\'Neill=>Jack O'Neill/\1

Preference Output:
Harry Potter/Voldemort/Severus Snape/Draco Malfoy
Harry Potter/Voldemort/Severus Snape
Harry Potter/Voldemort
John Sheppard/Rodney McKay
John Sheppard/Harry Potter

Alphabetical Method : I got far as reading the string when I ran into problems... when I realize I would have to loop to read each letter and my regex knowledge is novice level. So I opted for Preference Method for now.

Alphabetical Output:
Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter/Severus Snape/Voldemort
Harry Potter/Severus Snape/Sirus Black
Harry Potter/Voldemort
John Sheppard/Rodney McKay

([a-zA-Z0-9 .\-&]*)/{0,1}([a-zA-Z0-9 .\-&]*)/{0,1}([a-zA-Z0-9 .\-&]*)/{0,1}([a-zA-Z0-9 .\-&]*)/{0,1}

Side Note: Removing any "friendships" denoted with ampersand...
My coding didn't work.

 
exclude_metadata_pre:
 ships=~(*.)\&(.*)

May have forgotton to say this before but thank you for Fanficfare. Love the program. Kudos!

You do realize bubble sort exists primarily as an example of how not to do things in intro computing courses, right?

There's a setting you can turn on to do alphabetical sort of ships. There's no mechanism for Preference ordering beyond what you're already doing.

## Reorder ships so b/a and c/b/a become a/b and a/b/c. '/' is no
## longer hard coded and can be changed and added to with
## sort_ships_splits.
sort_ships:true

## Each line indicates first a regex that should be used to split each
## ships entry and then, after => the string to use to merge the parts
## back together.  \s == blank space.
## Each part will have replace_metadata with key ships_CHARS applied.
sort_ships_splits:
 [ ]*/[ ]*=>/
 [ ]*&[ ]*=>\s&\s

You have the first .* reversed (and they aren't needed) and you need to use the HTML entity for &. This should work:

 
exclude_metadata_pre:
 ships=~&

`
Fanfiction,net and their pesky compound Names

Superhero/Name

Examples:

Iron Man/Tony S.
Hulk/Bruce B.
Black Widow/Nastasha R.
[Iron Man/Tony S., Pepper P.]

Problem is these compound character names are viewed as pairings. This causes issues with sorting and ships.

I don't want the superhero identity just the name.

Shipping

Tried: Iron Man\/Tony S/.=>Tony Stark
Ships: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark/Tony Stark

Sorting

When renaming I have take into account that ship sorting has already occurred.
Bruce B\./Hulk=>Bruce Banner

Finally -splitting the renaming: gets better results

Iron Man\/=>
Tony S\.=>Tony Stark
Ships: Pepper Potts/Tony Stark

Better Way?

I can't comment on specifics because you gave only generalities without .ini examples.

However, if you haven't found it yet, you can use ships_CHARS in replace_metadata to modify individual characters within ships when using sort_ships.

[kstar]

As suggestI tried ships_CHARS method ... it almost works BUT for a preceding slash.

input: [Iron Man/Tony S., Pepper P.]
output: /Pepper Potts/Tony Stark

- Remove empty chars from ships when doing sort_ships / ships_CHARS

Originally Posted by kstar

...

Internally, [Iron Man/Tony S., Pepper P.] is changed into u'Iron Man/Tony S./Pepper P.' and then into a list of u'Iron Man', u'Tony S.', u'Pepper P.', then ships_CHARS changes it into u'', u'Tony S.', u'Pepper P.' The new test version now discards empty strings whiles sorting ships.

FYI, in future please also include a story URL. I tested using this story which is just the first I could find with Pepper/Tony. (Ironman comic fics on ffnet use [A. E. Stark/Tony, V. Potts/Pepper], BTW.)

[Tanjamuse]

Is there anyway to change the identifier url from

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/12618034/1/Hell-Hotel

to

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12618034/1/Hell-Hotel

without having to look through all the metadata? When I search for duplicates using the "Find Duplicates" plugin I almost only use the URL option and then I won't get the duplicates because of the difference in the url.

Use Calibre's Search and Replace in Edit metadata to change http://www.fanfiction.net to https://www.fanfiction.net. You should be able to find examples in the forums.

[Arnos]

Any chance you could add https://lnmtl.com/ to the supported sites?
I love this program.
Thanks!

I'm having trouble with downloading the SB fic Copacetic (https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...c-worm.283578/ ). Specifically, chapter 1 isn't downloaded. I only get the title, followed by the text for the previous 'chapter', Index.

Well, that's interesting. It's a site bug.

The threadmark for the first chapter is wrong, it points to Index. But first chapter post is still tabbed as a threadmark and shows up in Reader mode.

And it's been around since Nov 2016 at least, since it's in my copy of Copacetic too.

You could download it using the Index post URL(https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15112415/) instead, but that will also pick up all the Omake listed in index.

I've posted a report about it to the SB tech support forum. We'll see what they say.

Hello

For a while now, I have found that I some of my fics (from AO3 and FF.Net) don't update. It appears to have 'updated' as being modified, but there are no new chapters showing up. I need to find the fic online, delete the old ebook on Calibre and then redownload it again.

Is this a common problem? Or is something wrong with my settings?

Hope someone can assist!

Thanks

That's not something I've heard of happening.

The only thing that comes to mind is if you've set 'Default If Story Already Exists' to 'Update Calibre Metadata from Website' when you really want 'Update EPUB if New Chapters'. It's on the 'Basic' tab of FFF config:
