Looking at it again, I misread the debug file.

It's the fetch up on authorUrl that's failing. Are you changing authorUrl in your personal.ini? It looks empty in the debug output and that's not right.

Running with personal.ini emptied (or in a new library that you've cleared the personal.ini on) might help.

Fixed! The problem was in my .ini file. I was removing certain names from the metadata and didn't specify that it was 'ship' only. This has worked for a long time, but obviously failed as soon as I tried to d/load works from an author using that fandom name.

Sorry to have messed you around, thank you so much for your time!

The difference between "exclude_metadata_pre" and "exclude_metadata_post" is when they are applied: before replace_metadata or after replace_metadata. So you can 'pre'-filter items before replace_metadata, but if you end up with something you still don't want after all your replace_metadata, you can 'post' filter it.

I think I understand it. Probably. Here is my implementation:

Okay, but you still have to tell me what you are getting and what you want instead and the story URL(s) that demonstrate. I don't see anything wrong with the code in your last post.

Season's Greetings everyone! Thank you, JimmXinu for another fabulous FFF year.

I know I'm going to be embarrassed by the answer but...does anyone know where I'll find my active ini file on my Mac (I've got so many backups that search returns many and none seem to be "the one").

In Calibre, open the FFF plugin's config settings("Configure FanFicFare" option) and click the personal.ini tab. Then there's a button to edit the actual text in a dialog box. There is no actual personal.ini file when using the plugin.

It's called only personal.ini because FFF's predecessor was a command line tool.

A quick question is there a way to down stories off SB from a post of URL links? because I'm trying to download an older story off there...

Yes. I believe this document is mostly up to date.

Is there any way I can get it to just include the author's own stories? It looks like those are all in the <div id='st_inside'> section so it might be possible right?

Change www to m in the author URL and use that URL to 'Get Story URLs from Page'.

Example: https://m.fanfiction.net/u/99999/authorname

(Yes, longer lists will be broken into pages; No FFF will not get them all for you.)

Probably a dumb question, but I'm using the command line version and trying to set up some settings, but I do not see any sort of personal.ini file anywhere, and after making one myself it does not appear to be reading it. My only .ini files are defaults and example. Thanks

If you're using the FFF CLI as installed using pip and called by command line executable fanficfare, it will look for .fanficfare/personal.ini in your home dir, (IE, ~/.fanficfare/personal.ini or ./personal.ini in your current working directory. (Directory slashes reverse to \ on windows.)

If you're using the plugin CLI via calibre-debug.exe --run-plugin FanFicFare, it will use your saved plugin personal.ini (from default library), then same as above.

In both cases, running with -h/--help will tell you how to specify a config file manually and where it's going to look for personal.ini.

FFF does not create a personal.ini file for CLI use in either case, you have to create it.

Is it intentional that the uppercase column headers come first and then all the lowercase?
