I'm sorry, I'm not very code-literate. Should I paste in the solution you linked to into my ini file?

I can definitely wait for the next release as well, thank you.

That problem was reported yesterday and fixed in FFF test version. FFF test version is a post linked to in my signature.

Odds are that I will put out a point release in a few days if you'd rather wait.

I feel like this has been asked before, but if an AO3 story is in multiple series, is there a way to set the 'primary' one to be prioritized for the series column?

[JimmXinu]

Searching for ao3 series finds:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...es#post4157240

Although I suppose you could try using replace_metadata to change/set the series. No promises it will work as you want.

Hello, When trying to update or download a SB fanfic it is now asking me for my user name and password in FFF. When I type it in it still errors out and wont download the update/new fic. Is there a particular way the information needs to be entered...or could this be an issue with the website?

Thank you!

Hi, hope someone can help, I'm trying to make a small instruction so that when a story get's downloaded the fandom of the story get's stored in a custom column called "Fandoms", when doing the following on AO3 it works perfectly:

custom_columns_settings:
fandoms=>#fandom

but when trying to do the same in fanfiction.net, it doesn't work, it's obvious that's because the name of the tag of the fandom is different but I can't find anywhere what's the name of the tag that stores the fandom data. does anybody know what's it called? Thanks

It's called 'category.' But is there a reason that the option to set it in the custom columns tab won't work?

The way I work with the multiple series thing is a bit complicated (and not exactly what you asked for), but it works for me:
1. Get the plugin "Save Composite Custom Columns" (this will save the stuff for Calibre Companion; skip if you do not use CC)
2. Make multiple series-type columns for different series positions (I use the default series and have added "Second Series" (lookup name: series2), "Third Series" (lookup name: series3), and "Fourth Series" (lookup name: series4)).
3. Make another column (Column built from other columns, behaves like tags) to combine all of the series (I named mine "All Series") with the following template:

Spoiler:

program:
series = 'series,#series2,#series3,#series4';
res = '';
sep = ',';
for col in series:
res = list_union(res, field(col), sep)
rof;
res

4. Here is my AO3 code from my "personal.ini" file for AO3 AFTER the login info stanza (since I'm not 100% sure what I changed, but I know I changed the last part):

Spoiler:

## In order to get bookmarktags and bookmarksummary, you need to login
## all the time. This defaults to off to save time and network
## traffic. Requires valid AO3 username and password when true.
always_login:true

## Some sites also require the user to confirm they are adult for
## adult content. In commandline version, this should go in your
## personal.ini, not defaults.ini.
is_adult:true

## AO3 offers a page to download the entire work at once. This can
## save a lot of network traffic if there are many chapters.
## True by built-in default.
use_view_full_work:true

## archiveofourown.org stories allow chapters to be added out of
## order. So the newest chapter may not be the last one. FanFicFare update
## doesn't like that. If do_update_hook is uncommented and set true,
## the adapter will discard all existing chapters from the newest one
## on when updating to enforce accurate chapters.
## Starting July 2015, FFF stores chapter URLs in the chapter files.
## Stories downloaded after that shouldn't need this setting anymore.
do_update_hook:true

## Some adapters collect additional meta information beyond the
## standard ones. They need to be defined in extra_valid_entries to
## tell the rest of the FanFicFare system about them. They can be
## used in include_subject_tags, titlepage_entries,
## extra_titlepage_entries, logpage_entries, extra_logpage_entries,
## and include_in_* config items. You can also add additional entries
## here to build up composite metadata entries.
## 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.
extra_valid_entries:fandoms, freeformtags, freefromtags,

## Assume entryUrl, apply to "<a class='%slink' href='%s'>%s</a>" to
## make entryHTML.
make_linkhtml_entries:series00,series01,series02,s eries03

## AO3 doesn't have anything it calls 'genre'. The adapter used to be
## hardcoded to include the site specific metadata freeformtags &
## ao3categories in the standard metadata field genre. By making it
## configurable, users can change it.
include_in_genre: freeformtags, ao3categories

## AO3 uses the word 'category' differently than most sites. The
## adapter used to be hardcoded to include the site specific metadata
## fandom in the standard metadata field category. By making it
## configurable, users can change it.
include_in_category:fandoms

## freeformtags was previously typo'ed as freefromtags. This way,
## freefromtags will still work for people who've used it.
include_in_freefromtags:freeformtags

## chapterslashtotal contains 1/3 or 1/1 or 3/? etc as reported by AO3.
## chapterstotal is just the total chapters part after the /
include_in_chapterstotal:chapterslashtotal.NOREPL
add_to_replace_metadata:
chapterstotal=>^([0-9])+/(.+)$=>\2

## adds to titlepage_entries instead of replacing it.
extra_titlepage_entries: fandoms,freeformtags,ao3categories,comments,chapte rslashtotal,chapterstotal,kudos,hits,bookmarks,boo kmarked,bookmarktags,bookmarksummary,series01HTML, series02HTML,series03HTML,byline

## adds to include_subject_tags instead of replacing it.
extra_subject_tags:fandoms,freeformtags,ao3categor ies

## AO3 chapters can include several different types of notes. We've
## traditionally included them all in the chapter text, but this allows
## you to customize which you include. Copy this parameter to your
## personal.ini and list the ones you don't want.
#exclude_notes:authorheadnotes,chaptersummary,chap terheadnotes,chapterfootnotes,authorfootnotes,insp iredlinks

## AO3 authorfootnotes and inspiredlinks end up in the 'last' chapter,
## but if updated, then there's a new 'last' chapter, leaving multiple
## copies. This option applies the 'skip_on_ffdl_update' class to
## those tags which means they will be removed during epub reading for
## update. This will only effect chapters added after turning the
## setting on.
## Result: Only the last chapter will have end notes.
## Side-effect: An 'Update Always' that doesn't add a new last
## chapter will also remove the end notes.
#remove_authorfootnotes_on_update:false

## AO3 is blocking people more aggressively. If you download fewer
## stories less often you can likely get by with reducing this sleep.
slow_down_sleep_time:2

## AO3 allows users to archive stories they didn't write in certain
## cases. These are indicated by showing a byline such as:
## 'Orig Author [archived by Archivist Author]'
## If use_archived_author is set true (and there's only one author
## listed), author will be set to 'Orig Author' instead of 'Archivist
## Author'. authorUrl will still point to the Archivist Author's page.
#use_archived_author:false

## AO3 chapters have 'date' available for each chapter.
## These can be used with custom output (see
## https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...i/CustomOutput ) or with
## chapter_title_*_pattern settings.
## Examples for html & epub:
#[html]
#tocpage_entry:
# <a href="#section${index04}">${chapter}</a> ${date}<br />
#[epub]
#tocpage_entry:
# <a href="file${index04}.xhtml">${chapter}</a> ${date}<br /><br />

## The 'date' value for chapters mentioned above can be formated with
## datechapter_format. Otherwise it will default to
## datePublished_format
#datechapter_format:%%Y-%%m-%%d

## (Plugin Only) - You can also populate calibre custom columns with
## the site specific metadata using custom_columns_settings (but only
## if 'Allow custom_columns_settings from personal.ini' is checked in
## the plugin GUI config.) There are three parts, the entry name,
## then the label of the calibre custom column, then (optionally) a
## 'mode'. 'r' to Replace any existing values, 'a' to Add to existing
## value (use with tag-like columns), and 'n' for setting on New books
## only. (Default is 'r'.)

## Literal strings can be set into custom columns using double quotes.
## Each metadata=>column mapping must be on a separate line and each
## needs to have one space at the start of each line.

## 'r_anthaver' and 'n_anthaver' can be used to indicate the same as
## 'r' and 'n' for normal downloads, but to average the metadata for
## the differents story in an anthology before setting in integer and
## float type custom columns. This can be useful for a averrating
## column, for example. Default is to sum the values of all stories,
## and numChapters and numWords are always summed.

custom_columns_settings:
series01=>#series2
series02=>#series3
series03=>#series4
# cliches=>#acolumn
# themes=>#bcolumn,a
# timeline=>#ccolumn,n
# "FanFiction"=>#collection
# averrating=>#averrating,r_anthaver

Now by doing that, you can click on the series title in the "All Series" place. It takes a while to pull all of the books from the database, and it takes a little longer to close the database (if you used Step 1). And the series will not be sorted when you choose the "All Series" link.

Hope this helps!

There aren't many stories on SB that require login. I'll need the story URL and/or a debug log to be able to help.

'Fandom', aka the original that a story is a fanfic of, was already named category when I came to the project. It's one of the 'standard' metadata entries FFF uses. AO3 and a few other sites also have 'site-specific' metadata entries. fandoms is one for AO3 to go with ao3categories. By default for AO3, category == fandoms.

As ownedbycats said, 'standard' metadata entries such as category can be set to custom columns using the FFF config GUI without needing personal.ini settings.

I think I figured out the problem...it seems like my VPN was causing the issue. No VPN, no problems, VPN on and everything I try to do on SB asks for a login.

Well, that's because I didn't knew I could do that, I'll give it a try, thanks!
