Yup. All of the other updates work from my browser cache, just not this one story. I even cleared my cache and then re-opened the story and it still didn't work, but when I looked at the browser cache is said:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1385180...-Cullens-Bella 0 bytes 0 No last modified time No expiration time

So maybe it was too soon after the release.

Totally weird. I ended up removing all of the browser "stuff" under ff.net and then running the download, getting the story and then re-adding all of the deleted stuff back. I just did an update on 2 stories and it worked fine.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that your browser may not cache such a small page on disk--it's <500 words and the whole page is ~32KB.

I made another FFF-related template for use with Action Chains' single-field edit. It will set the fanfic's status column to "Abandoned" if either:

• the last-updated column is more than 730 days ago
• the error column is filled (note that it'll run for any value, including the transient and informational ones. So you want "save all errors" unchecked!)

Also note that since this uses the new field references, you need a minimum of Calibre 5.14 for this.

program:
d1 = format_date(today(),'iso');
d2 = $$#yourfanficupdatedcolumn;
status = $#yourfanficstatuscolumn;
error = $#yourfanficerrorcolumn;

	if
		and(
			status=='In-Progress',
			days_between(d1, d2) ># 730,
			)
	then
		"Abandoned"
		elif
			and(
				status=='In-Progress',
				error,
				)
		then
			"Abandoned"

	else
		status
	fi

- Use newer Calibre image processing, add JPG quality setting - thanks, Malloc Voidstar
- Add use_cloudscraper:true under [www.ficbook.net] to defaults.ini

For AO3 fics in multiple series, I saw this in the defaults.ini:

## archiveofourown.org, for example, fills genre (a standard
## entry) as the composite offreeformtags, ao3categories in
## include_in_genre.  If there's ever more than 4 series, add
## series04,series04Url etc.

How would I make more than one series appear on the title page?

Adding series04HTML to titlepage_entries. Because it's ordered, you may need to replace the whole thing instead of just using add_to_titlepage_entries to get the order you want.

From defaults.ini under [archiveofourown.org]:

## extra_titlepage_entries, logpage_entries, extra_logpage_entries,
## and include_in_* config items.  You can also add additional entries

## Assume entryUrl, apply to "<a class='%slink' href='%s'>%s</a>" to
## make entryHTML.
make_linkhtml_entries:series00,series01,series02,series03

make_linkhtml_entries instructs FFF to create series00HTML etc from series00 and series00Url.

So, I need advice, because I am stuck without ideas. Let's assume we have story XXX by author AAA on ao3 and one of the genre is "author: BBB". So, now I want FFF in Calibre to automatically substitute change AAA into BBB, so that BBB is the author. Any suggestions how to do it?

[ownedbycats]

If you just want a straight substitution you can use

replace_metadata: 
 author=>AAA=>BBB

You can also use exact matching and conditionals:

replace_metadata: 
 author=>^AAA$=>BBB&&site==archiveofourown.org

Without knowing the specific story and only speaking in the hypothetical, I can't actually test my suggestion.

But given what you asked, something like this will probably work:

[archiveofourown.org]
add_to_replace_metadata: 
 author=>^AAA$=>BBB&&genre==author: BBB

Limited to AO3, only matches the entire author string, and only when the exact string "author: BBB" is in metadata entry genre.

If you want more help with it, you'll need to provide story URLs.

The issue is that I don't have a story. I am working purely hypothetically right now. Aaand I am struggling, because I want to make it conditional on whether on not author is actually AAA, and for BBB to be able to vary as well depending on story, meaning that FFF would need to actually extract the content of the genre tag. I think I might be delving a little too deep into conditionals to actually make it work, but I am anything but an expert in coding.

storyUrl is a valid conditional. I use it myself to fix flunky metadata on specific stories.

If you don't have stories you need this for.... Why try to do it?

In general, I find it easier to put story specific settings under [storyUrl] instead of using storyUrl in conditionals.

Hi,
I just updated to the newest Calibre and FFF and now I have waited a few hours only to get only Errors for every single story.

The plugin is amazing, and this thread has been incredibly helpful in the past to search through and find what I'm looking for. But I've searched around for this and not found anything on the wiki or elsewhere.

I'm wondering if there's anything I can add, either to personal.ini or somewhere else, to allow the published comments of an AO3 story to be downloaded along with the story itself? Ideally as part of an anthology too.

includecomments, as far as my investigations go, doesn't do that!

Not something I've wanted to do before, and not something that downloads from ao3 usually include, so I feel it's probably not possible - but if anyone would know, you all would!

[ownedbycats]

The AO3 adapter collects "comments" (though I am not sure whether it's user comments or something else), so its just a matter of putting it somewhere:

[archiveofourown.org]

 series01, series02, series03, series00Url, series01Url, series02Url,
 series03Url, series00HTML, series01HTML, series02HTML, series03HTML

You can try this:

## adds to titlepage_entries instead of replacing it.
extra_titlepage_entries: comments
