[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[riothamus]

So I've been using FFF browser cache with FanFictionDownloader for a while now with few issues. I've just had to stop doing a bulk text file and do one fic at a time. However, today after updating to the latest versions of Calibre and FFF I'm getting the following error:

HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache (see FFF setting browser_cache_age_limit)'(428) URL:'https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13983713/1/Wizards-of-the-Caribbean'

Any help would be appreciated as I didn't change any settings. This happened with 2 different fics.

Tried clearing the browser cache before opening the page again? That usually resolves it for me.

I'm not even sure how I would clear the browser cache for FanFictionDownloader. It seems to clear when it closes and when you download a new story.

The refactoring of Browser Cache feature in the last release uses the full title URLs now for ffnet stories.

It looks like FanFictionDownloader still uses ffnet story/chapter URLs without the title, which FFF doesn't look for now.

Honestly, I don't think I remembered to test with FanFictionDownloader. I assumed it was the same as Chrome.

I'll think about whether there's something I can do about that or not. My computer time is limited right now due to a medical issue.

In the meantime, you can downgrade to FFF v4.19 or switch to using one of the other methods instead of FanFictionDownloader. The open_pages_in_browser feature is what the refactoring was for.

Hope you (or whoever is having the medical issue) feel better soon!

Is it possible to add a tag based on word count? E.g. if the word count is less than 5k, the tag on Calibre is <5,000. This was all I could figure out lol, don't know what to put after numWords

 
replace_metadata:
 prefix_wordcount=>\[w\] \<5,000&&numWords

[JimmXinu]

Only if you can do it with regexp. There's probably a way, but I don't know it off hand.

I think I figured it out! So far this works. I also have a custom column for the exact word count with the type integers and format {:,d} so I can sort the list on Calibre by the word count taken from AO3.

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,prefix_wordcount
include_in_prefix_wordcount:numWords

replace_metadata:
 prefix_wordcount=>^(\d+|([0-4],\d{3})*)$=>[w] <5000
 prefix_wordcount=>^(([5-9],\d{3})*|10,000)$=>[w] 5000-10000
 prefix_wordcount=>^((?!10,000)(1\d,\d{3})*|20,000)$=>[w] 10001-20000
 prefix_wordcount=>^((?!20,000)([2-4]\d,\d{3})*|50,000)$=>[w] 20001-50000
 prefix_wordcount=>^((?!50,000)(([5-9]\d)|(\d{3,}))(,\d{3})+)$=>[w] 50000+

include_subject_tags:prefix_wordcount

It should return [w] 5000, [w] 5000-10000, etc. as tags. The comma is used as a delimiter by Calibre for tags so I didn't put one. Too bad 5000-10000 isn't sorted on the tag list properly unless I put a zero before it, but that looks weird to me.

I didn't really think about it before, but if it were me doing this, I'd probably implement it with a Calibre 'built from other columns' custom column that is just a display for the existing exact word count column.

I use this for displaying floating-point purchase cost in the tag browser. It can be easily changed to use integer wordcount.

EDIT: Note switch_if is a relatively new function, two or three versions ago. If you're using an older version may not be present.

program:
	switch_if(
		$$#purchasecost == 'none', '',
		$$#purchasecost ==# '00.00', '$0.00',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '00.99', '$0.01 - $0.99',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '04.99', '$1.00 - $4.99',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '10.00', '$5.00 - $9.99',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '15.00', '$10.00 - $14.99',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '15.00', '$10.00 - $14.99',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '20.00', '$15.00 - $19.99',
		$$#purchasecost <=# '30.00', '$20.00 - $29.99',
		'$30.00 and up' 
	)

Yeah I already have an exact word count column taken from AO3's metadata. I just wanted word count groups on the tag list for MapleRead.

Also MapleRead didn't like the less than symbol on the tag so I had to change them a bit.

Hello!
Would it be possible to add the summed wordcount shown on the seriespage on ao3 as a seperate metadata? I'm trying to group my calibre bib in wordcount groups, and when I'm using this in the personal.ini:

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,prefix_wordcount
include_in_prefix_wordcount:numWords

replace_metadata:
prefix_wordcount=>^(\d+|([0-4],\d{3})*)$=>under 5K, under 10k
prefix_wordcount=>^(([5-9],\d{3})*|10,000)$=>under 10k
prefix_wordcount=>^((?!10,000)(1\d,\d{3})*|30,000) $=>10k-30k, under 100k
prefix_wordcount=>^((?!30,000)([3-4]\d,\d{3})*|50,000)$=>30k-50k, under 100k
prefix_wordcount=>^((?!50,000)([5-9]\d)|(\d{3,})*|100,000)$=>50k-100k, under 100k
prefix_wordcount=>^((?!100,000)((1\d,\d{3})|(\d{3, }))(,\d{3})+)$=>over 100k

add_to_custom_columns_settings:
prefix_wordcount=>#laenge_range,a

Then I'm getting the replaced metadata for each seperate story in the anthology, and not the grouping for the wordcount of the series.

If it is not possible/too much work to implement, could you add an option to exempt anthologies from changes in the personal.ini?

Thank you!

...

I'm going to refer you to the suggestion above of doing word count groups as a Calibre custom column instead. That will work for FFF downloads, anthologies and other unrelated books all equally well.

Probably not. I doubt very much anyone would want a feature to disable all personal.ini settings from individual anthology books--what they would want is to disable some settings. And they would never agree on which ones, leading to yet more complexity.

I acknowledge that the FFF Anthology feature is somewhat flawed. But I don't care to re-architect FFF enough to fix it.

[nan1923]

Thank you for the answer, I didn't know that about using templates.
Now maybe a dumb question, my test template works in the template tester, then I stored it as a stored template, but how do I get it to activate as a setting for the whole bib and actually change the metadata?
