[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

But this is not a plugin I installed, nor can I find it in the plugin list.

As @JimmXinu said, "Fantastic Fiction" is a metadata source plugin. It should work unless you didn't update it before updating to the Python 3 version of calibre. If you don't plan to use it, delete the plugin file from the configuration directory. Having it there won't harm anything, but, the error would distract me when debugging a problem.

I came across a strange replace_metadata issue.

[https://archiveofourown.org/works/39162696]
replace_metadata:
 status=>Completed=>In-Progress

For some reason, when I put this in, the story ignored all my other replace_metadatas, which had a bunch of weird results (for example, it broke the cover generation which was looking for 'Archive of Our Own' instead of 'archiveofourown.org').

a) Is this intended to happen? I noticed it with other replace_metadatas under url sections too, but I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

b) Is there an option other than replace_metadata to swap out the status?

I suppose I could just copy the relevant replace_metadatas down to the story section if I have to.

You forgot the 'add_to_'. See wiki.

I forgot about that. Thank you.

Also, a quick question: Is using generate_cover_settings on site the same thing as selecting the per-site settings in the Calibre Cover tab?

I'm mostly wondering why the latter fails when I use replace_metadata on the sites. If it's the same code, it makes more sense (e.g. running it on 'category', users would want to run it on a merged 'The Elder Scrolls' rather than have a bunch of duplicate rules for the original Morrowind and Oblivion and Skyrim categories).

replace_metadata: 
## Prettyizes fanfiction publishers.
 site=>www.fanfiction.net=>FanFiction.net
 site=>archiveofourown.org=>Archive of Our Own

generate_cover_settings:
## Per-publisher
 ${site}=>^FanFiction.net$=> FFNet
 ${site}=>^Archive of Our Own$=>AO3

site is used to determine GC settings both in INI and from GUI.

Honestly, I never really considered anyone changing site--and I would recommend against it.

Instead, I suggest you modify publisher. For historical reasons, FFF uses site internally while publisher is copied from site and used to populate Calibre's Publisher column and (by default) on title page.

Doing so would require you to use the original www.fanfiction.net, etc in generate_cover_settings

I've tested it and replace_metadata on site applies to GC settings as I expected.

I didn't realize that they could be used separately. I'll change it right away.

Can publisher==Archive of Our Own be used as a conditional, or is it better change it all to site==archiveofourown.org? (Or should I just move it all to an add_to under the site-specific settings?)

EDIT: publisher== seems to work, so that's good.

Using site would be mildly more efficient than publisher when it's been edited. I think? Maybe? It may be cached.

It would definitely be less hassle if you later decided you want publisher to be AO3 instead or whatever.

Putting replace/GC lines in site specific sections instead of using conditionals in [defaults] will be more efficient when d/l'ing from other sites because then they won't need to be checked.

Done that, thx.
It wasn't bothering me perse, just when you get that error and you're looking for the source you come across all errors and then there is that tiny possibility that that could be contributing to the problem. Best to get rid of it before.

Hi, sorry to bother, again, and with https://wuxiaworldsite.net/ again, but is not working anymore .

Thanks

wuxiaworldsite.com is an alias for wuxiaworld.site, which is being removed for incompatible site changes. See #758

I'm getting an error when I try to update Ao3 stories through email. It fetches the metadata and downloads the books, but then the notification to add them to the library isn't there. It reappears after downloading/updating another story.

Also, another seems to only happen when there's a series under the links (I click "Yes to all" when it asks to skip the anthology story).

The 2 problems started around 1 week ago.

(the 2nd Error is: Unhandled exception. TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'NoneType')

[JimmXinu]

Try the lastest test version (see my sig below).

If you still have problems, run in Calibre debug mode (under Calibre preferences dropdown), reproduce the problem and post the debug log (please use [spoiler][code] tags, attach as a file, or upload somewhere and post link).

New Test Version Posted

- adapter_mediaminerorg: More story URL forms. #845

[Tharos]

The update on May 18 invalidated something in my personal.ini. Does anyone please have a quick tip on what I need to adjust?

So far the following has worked fine for FFN:

[fanfiction.net]
use_flaresolverr_proxy:true
never_make_cover: false
custom_columns_settings:
 category=>#ts
 category=>tags

This now leads to the following message:

Custom column name must start with '#' (tags) found for custom_columns_settings

I am sure it is a silly mistake on my part. But I also can't find the solution via the wiki on github.
