[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[ownedbycats]

That makes sense.

I also noticed that FFF will skip an already-downloaded fic if you try to download it again through "Download from URL." Does it search through all the ePub metadata?

[bianca.slate]

I am trying to download "The Last Button" by valis2 on http://occlumency.sycophanthex.com/v...y.php?sid=1861

I have my site logon already in FanFicFare's personal.ini file, in case the story file is protected from being viewed or downloaded by non-members.

I clicked 'Download from URLs' and pasted in the URL from the top of the web page and clicked 'OK.'

It indicated it was fetching metadata and then popped up a download ended box, saying:

'None of the 1 URLs/stories given can be/need to be downloaded. See log for details. Proceed with updating your library(Error or Last Checked Columns, if configured)?'

I clicked 'View Log' and it indicated:

Status: Error
Title: Unknown
Author: Unknown
Comment: 'NoneType' object has no '__getitem__'
URL: http://occlumency.sycophanthex.com/v...y.php?sid=1861

Having sorted my Calibre "Publisher: Occlumency Syncophanthex" stories Alphabetic by Title, it would have been between "Kiss the Baby Good Night" and "Many Happy Returns" if I already had it in my library.

Am I doing something wrong?

Click Link above to see my screenshot with added pop-up boxes.

I have FanFicFare v3.22.1 and Calibre v4.23

I can view the story perfectly fine in both Firefox 80.0.1 (64-bit) and Microsoft Edge Version 85.0.564.44 (Official build) (64-bit) on Windows 10.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

No, that would take forever. When given a story URL, it searches for an existing story with the same (usually normalized) story URL and, optionally, title & author.

- adapter_occlumencysycophanthexcom needed another 'needs login' string.

UPDATE also:
- fiction.live: null handling in format_readerposts -- closes #539, thanks HazelSh!
- fiction.live: changed time formats for livetime metadata, chunk timestamps to avoid localized names -- fixes #538, thanks HazelSh!

Looks like a site change, working for again now with this fix.

Could anyone possibly tell me what this error means? I was trying to use the plugin to save a book from Wuxiaworld to read offline and it just throws me this error everytime. For the record I'm not very knowledgeable here so I apologize ahead of time lol.

The error says that you are trying to use 'Get Story URLs from Web Page' and the site is forbidding it.

Without knowing the URL you are using, that's about all I can say.

[Alastaire]

Sorry, this was the one I was trying to save, I clicked on the sidebar in Calibre and chose "Get Story URL's From Webpage" then put in this link.

Question: On AO3, there's a series made up of a bunch of one-shots. The author adds new ones every so often, but sometimes inserts the new ones into the middle of the series. (I guess they're supposed to be in chronological order or something.)

If I turn this into an anthology, will FFF be able to correctly re-order the fics when updating it? (So far, I've only done series that were complete.)

Jim might have his own input but

I don't think .site is supported? You can check supported sites at first page of this thread.

From my experience, yes it does insert it in the middle as I was updating a few anthologies currently.

Damn, you're right I apparently confused the two. Just my luck lol, been trying for three days to find a way to do it and thought I had, Bleh.

[JimmXinu]

We support wuxiaworld.co and wuxiaworld.com, but not www.wuxiaworld.site. And before you ask, may I direct your attention to the FAQ Please add site XYZ to FanFicFare?

Yes, the anthology order will reflect the order of the story URLs FFF collects / is given. You can even change it manually when you are presented with the URL list if you like.

update: I don't think people necessarily realize that you are not restricted to site series when making anthologies; you can manually put in any story URLs you want--even from multiple different sites.

On a possibly unrelated but related note (?!), I believe wuxiaworld.co has changed their name/address to novelupdates.cc. I notice the two stories I updated from there started adding a line to the end of each chapter stating 'get more updates at novelupdates'. I don't have an exact copy since I started regexing deleting that advertisement out of the stories hah... They share the exact same new updated layout to my laymen's eyes (that adapter recently had to be updated to compensate for). Both sites were running for a while but now I just get 503 errors in the last 2-3 days trying to go to wuxiaworld.co while novelupdates.cc is still there.

Course this is one of those sites that there is no real communication or news/blog to communicate one way or the other so I'm not sure. But that might be an easy fix/switch if so.

Example story links. wuxiaworld doesn't work for above reasons, but the link/story address format remains the same
https://www.wuxiaworld.co/Mages-Are-Too-OP/
https://www.novelupdates.cc/Mages-Are-Too-OP/

[JimmXinu]

While visually very similar, I don't think those are the same site.

That story has different access restrictions, different average rating, different comments, etc on the two sites.

I'm able to see wuxiaworld.co just fine. 5XX errors are generally some kind of server error issue, which has probably been resolved.

So I'm having this issue
