[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[JimmXinu]

The first paragraph of the third post...

By default, FFF strips inline styles, but keeps classes, which removes the style='color: transparent'.

You might be able to set CSS for .fixed-color in personal.ini setting output_css to make it red italic. I don't know if that class is used for anything else, or if it is consistent across sites But is the only class that makes it into epub output for me for that particular example tag. (I suspect .bbc-spoiler is added by JS somewhere.)

Anyone else getting this error when downloading from fanfiction.net?


Error Unknown Unknown Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, invalid path

What version of Calibre are you using? It could be a Cloudscraper OpenSSL error.

I suspected that was the answer I would get. I already knew that the default behavior of Calibre was to strip that sort of font stuff. the fixed-color class is used for when there are words with a fixed color, say if a author wanted to make a word blue. Basically I wanted to see if there was a way to eat my cake and have it too. I'll make do with Find and Replacing color: transparent to #cc33ff (a light purple color) using Calibre's Edit Book to get rid of invisitext.

Sorry if I'm being annoying with my questions.

I'd need to see the full debug log.

There's a good chance ownedbycats is right if you are on an older Calibre, but there are CA certs bundled in the plugin now.

Just curious: Is the "last updated" column adjusted for timezone?

[JimmXinu]

I assume you mean FFF's dateUpdated etc metadata.

No. FFF reads the time on the site as presented into a "naive datetime" and uses it without time zone.

Time zones in Python2 are a nightmare. I would hope it's improved in Py3, but since we still support older versions, I've not looked.

[ownedbycats]

That makes sense. I was mostly just curious if a fic updated after midnight GMT could potentially get the wrong date (I'm -4:00 GMT).

Well, "good news" is that it does in fact recognize that a re-used/duplicate URL neeeds to be downloaded as a "new" story...
The "Bad news" is that existing stories are not identified as their URL still uses the "plain"(without YYYY-MM-DD suffix) so will need to figure out a rewrite for existing URLs to avoid re-downloading updated stories completely, but thank you for a quick update!

@ownedbycats - Datetimes are bit of a mess. Some sites give you dates relative to where they are, some relative to your account settings, some relative to your browser(which doesn't help us), and date parsing depends on your computer's locale--which we have to fudge for most non-English users. And most sites only list dates, but some do also include times.

@bpothier: Yes, I assumed that was implicit.

I think I asked about that a while back - ffnet has exact times if you hover over the column, while AO3 is always 12:00:00 am.

My old computer had a dead CMOS battery, and there was a surprising amount of errors that cropped up whenever the time dropped out of sync and reset itself.

Hello, I downloaded calibre and fanficfare for the sole purpose of being able to download fics with the author's notes (beginning and end on ao3) automatically removed, but the line in default.ini doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've put it everywhere I can think of in the personal.ini file and restarted calibre too many times to count but nothing seems to work. What could I be doing wrong??

[JimmXinu]

You should just need to put exclude_notes with the notes types you don't want in personal.ini under the heading [archiveofourown.org]:

[archiveofourown.org]
exclude_notes:authorheadnotes,chaptersummary,chapterheadnotes,chapterfootnotes,authorfootnotes,inspiredlinks

[ownedbycats]

A bug, though it might be on Calibre's end rather than FFF's.

To prevent making silly typos that break my replace_metadatas, I've started copying entries directly from the saved metadata longtext column. But then pasting it in personal.ini does this:



shouldn't it be pasting as plain-text?
