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?

program: storedtemplatename() in the template of a 'column built from columns'

[nan1923]

It works! Thank you!

Now onto making the metadata editing a bit more efficient in my bib

I tried to make a template for grouping word count on Calibre based on this, but it wasn't working properly for me despite having Calibre updated. I saw a different one which worked.

program:
	getWordCount = field('#ao3_words');
	wordCount = re(getWordCount, '[,]', '');
	first_non_empty(
		cmp(wordCount, 5001, '0 - 5000', '', ''),
		cmp(wordCount, 10001, '5001 - 10000', '', ''),
		cmp(wordCount, 20001, '10001 - 20000', '', ''),
		cmp(wordCount, 40001, '20001 - 40000', '', ''),
		cmp(wordCount, 80001, '40001 - 80000', '', ''),
		'80000+'
);

It looks like this for me. I wish MapleRead could sort by groups, but it's limited so I'm making do with tag grouping.

Where 'metadata' is a placeholder for an actual entry, is there any functional difference between:

include_metadata_pre:

 metadata=~^(foo|bar)$

include_metadata_pre:

 metadata=~^foo$
 metadata=~^bar$

[JimmXinu]

In include/exclude lines, I don't think so.

I'd try ==foo instead of =~^foo$ -- assuming foo is a simple string and not a pattern.

I have an atypical question: So, I wrote myself a site adapter for a personal blog-thingy (so sorry, can't share this one), and it works just fine with CLI version, once I dropped it in proper folder. However, i would like to use it with Calibre. It doesn't seem to work from CLI folder (maybe because I installed CLI version separately with pip. I'm a noob, I do 70% things wrong). What is the default path for FFF adapters for Calibre plugin? Is there even one? Is there any way to use a custom adapter with Calibre plugin? I only found a .zip file in what I believe to be calibre install folder, but there are no adapters inside it. Not gonna lie, it's quite possible I simply messed something up, since I'm on linux currently, but I have extremely minimal knowledge how to use it, and in general I'm way over my head with what I'm trying to do.

Assuming Windows, check
C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\Calibre\plugins\FanFicFare.zip\fa nficfare\adapters

I don't know if you need to modify other files

[ownedbycats]

[archiveofourown.org]
chapterslashtotal_label:Chapters
add_to_titlepage_entries:,chapterslashtotal

This adds the chapterslashtotal to the end of the titlepage. What should I do if I instead want to replace chapters? (Forum search is a pain to use.)

Less a priority, but is it possible to display it for only "5/10" and not "5/?" or "5/5"?

EDIT: Copy category? Need to figure out the regex.

[ownedbycats]

I managed to work this out. x/x and x/? fics get just the first number; x/y fics get both. Please let me know if any improvements to be made:

[defaults]
# 'add_to_' concats on to existing param, thus the leading comma
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,oneshot,tagscategory,covertype,ao3chaps

[archiveofourown.org]
## Chapter formatting
include_in_ao3chaps:chapterslashtotal
ao3chaps_label:Chapters
titlepage_entries: seriesHTML,category,genre,language,characters,ships,status,datePublished,dateUpdated,dateCreated,rating,warnings,ao3chaps,numWords,publisher,description

add_to_replace_metadata:
 ao3chaps=>^(\d+)/\1$=>\g<1>
 ao3chaps=>^(\d+)/\?$=>\g<1>

The plugin code is all in the plugin zip file. If you put your adapter (and edited __init__.py file) in fanficfare\adapters in the installed zip file it should work.

You can find the dir with the plugin zips from Calibre Preferences > Misc > Open calibre config dir. Dir named 'plugins'.

Replace titlepage_entries instead of add_to_. The default value in defaults.ini is under [defaults].

Suppressing or removing "/\?" should be easy enough, just remember to escape the '?'. The key to 5/5, 6/6, etc is regexp back references.

No idea what you mean by copying category. What's that have to do with chapters?

[ownedbycats]

"Copy category" is my general term for copying metadata entry to a custom one. Maybe I need to come up with a better one.

Well, since you asked...

1. To the best of my knowledge, there's no reason to copy chapterslashtotal to a new entry instead of editing chapterslashtotal.
   But kudos for preemptive paranoia.
   
2. I think it would be slightly cheaper computationally to do:
   

    ao3chaps=>/\?$=>

   IE, just removing the trailing /? rather than also matching number and replacing both with the number. But I doubt you could even measure the difference in normal use.
   
3. I wouldn't use both \1 and \g<1> in the same line. There's no difference in this case and it invites possible future confusion.
   By which I mean, I had to look up \g<1> to be sure it didn't have some additional special meaning.

[ownedbycats]

Thanks. I think using \g instead of \1 was just a bit of a leftover from trial-and-erroring in regex101.

[ownedbycats]

I added a slightly modified version (editing chapterslashtotal directly rather than copying it to a custom entry) to this page.

Hmm, so your method takes me to /home/myusername/.config/calibre/plugins/ (i'm on arch linux, but I just started to learn how to use linux rn, so that's why I have issues now, rip), but there is no fanficfare.zip file in there. I found the .zip file in /usr/share/calibre/system-plugins/, and that might actually be fine for my distro. However my issue is that there is no "adapters" folder in this .zip file. So after I open the FanFicFare.zip file, and then open fanficfare folder, the only things inside are default.ini, example.ini and browsercache folder. So clearly the plugin stores even my personal.ini somewhere else and it must be pulling adapters from somewhere else, but I have no idea from where. And this is definitely a correct .zip file, as I slightly modified plugin-defaults.ini (really, I just added a line that says #TEST123) and it was visible in calibre plugin.

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of my FanFicFare.zip file content, so that it's easier to understand what I mean, because I don't believe I explain myself well. I uploaded the screenshot to GoogleDrive, because it was easiest.

EDIT2: NVM, PROBLEM SOLVED.
Apparently it does pull adapters from same folder as CLI. Adn apparently it works just fine right now, without me changing anything. Why it didn't work yesterday? No idea! I've changed nothing. Maybe turning the PC on/off did the trick, how should I know. Still, thanks for help.
