[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

Yeah, I've never been fond of writing documents. In this case, it's in the comments in defaults.ini, where I see I used 'mode' instead of 'flag':

Spoiler:

## (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.  There is also a
## special case for Integer and Float type custom columns: The static
## value "None" will clear the column.

## '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.
## 'r_anthmax' and 'n_anthmax' indicate 'r' and 'n' for normal
## downloads, but to use the highest value for the metadata from the
## differents story in an anthology in integer and float type custom
## columns.
## Default is to sum the values of all stories, and numChapters and
## numWords are always summed.

#custom_columns_settings:
# cliches=>#acolumn
# themes=>#bcolumn,a
# timeline=>#ccolumn,n
# "FanFiction"=>#collection
# averrating=>#averrating,r_anthaver

For future reference:

Would a story-section include_in_customentry override the one in defaults?

Example:

For my subtitle tweak, I replace 'title' and then copy the original to fulltitle, which is displayed on the titlepage. But if I do want to edit the title:

[defaults]

# fulltitle copies unedited title for titlepages
include_in_fulltitle:title.NOREPL 

[http://test1.com?sid=12345]
add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>^.*=>edited title

include_in_fulltitle:"edited title"

[JimmXinu]

Yes, it's more visible if you set them to different values. Changes in bold.

[defaults]

add_to_extra_valid_entries:,fulltitle
add_to_titlepage_entries:,fulltitle

# fulltitle copies unedited title for titlepages
include_in_fulltitle:title.NOREPL 

[http://test1.com?sid=12345]
add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>^.*=>edited title

include_in_fulltitle:"static title"

- Change force_img_referer to force_img_self_referer_regexp See #940 #941
- adapter_deviantartcom: Another detect login string. #947

## If set, and the img tag's URL matches the regular expression, FFF
## will use the img tag's own src URL as the HTTP Referer instead of
## the page URL.  This is useful for some image hosting sites that
## watermark or return HTML instead of image data without it.
#force_img_self_referer_regexp:gelbooru.com|photobucket.com

Changed to a regexp instead of a simple switch so it can be more finely controlled and put in more generally than [storyURL] sections.

Thanks for implementing my suggestion

@JimmXinu - While trying to use it for something else, I found that WebToEpub crashes the Vivaldi browser. I found a github issue that confirms it so I added a note to the browser cache page.

I have just checked and WebToEpub works OK with the Brave Browser. Thanks for this by-the-way, I thought it was a Firefox only extension :-(

I have noticed that on FFN, WebToEpub pauses somewhere between 20 and 25 pages. If left it will eventually continue on its own. This can be avoided by setting "Manual Throttle|Delay per chapter" to 5 Secs/Chapter.

So I used to be fairly tech savvy and I can still usually figure things out. But I'm a little stumped getting started with flaresolverr and FFF. I use windows 10 first off. I know the flaresolverr page says it's best to use docker, but it appears the docker instructions are for linux and there's a precompiled binary for flaresolverr for windows. What I can't figure out is if I should still use docker in windows (which I found by googling). A little help to get started? If it was just ff.net I'd stick with browser cache, but I have a story I'm following on scribblehub now too (he had to remove it from royalroad due to smut content).

Thanks!

You don't need docker for Windows. Just download it and launch it.

[JimmXinu]

I use the pre-compiled binary for windows when I use it. I find it much easier.

Hey thanks. I was still a little confused about how to make sure FFF could call flaresolverr but I figured out that I just launch flaresolverr and then run FFF per normal. Much appreciated.

You don't need Flaresolverr for ScribbleHub. Just add the following to the ScribbleHub section of your personal.ini:

use_cloudscraper:true

It does fail on about 1 in 30 attempts, but works again on the next try.

I tried this several times (at least 5), and unless I'm missing something else I needed to download or have running, I struck out each time.

I did successfully use flaresolverr, but in order to download the 100+ chapter story, I had to disable Windows Defender real time protection. Looks to be a potential issue with flaresolverr and Defender and/or other AV. I haven't had a chance to dig into it more. If I didn't disable RTP, the chromium instances would keep coming and not closing taking up 100% CPU and freezing and/or crashing my computer. I had slightly better luck with ff.net but still had the freeze once before I figured out the AV problem.
