FYI, if you set use_browser_cache_only:true for [www.fanfiction.net] it will only use cache.

Thanks for noticing that -- I didn't realize capitalization mattered :-)

I did try one more thing. I turned off my VPN, cleared my Chrome cache, and restarted. That seemed to do the trick and things are working normally. I will turn the VPN back on and see if it messes things up again. If it does, then at least I know what the issue is. I am using NordVPN with Threat Protection on. It may be this latter option that is at fault. I'll update this thread once I see what happens.

Yeah, VPNs mess up many things. You are on your when VPNs are involved.

Yup ... it's the VPN. Turn it off, clear the cache, reload pages and bob's your uncle. <sigh>

In this case, you can't use use category_LIST in conditionals for category, that would recurse.

Yeah I'm just gonna trust (and hope) that the author properly tags the fic in the right order. I normally don't read fics that have overly complicated tags anyway.

Right I forgot about that, I think I tried to do something similar before but couldn't figure it out either back then. This was just to reduce redundancy in the title page. At least my tag browser will look cleaner now thanks to _LIST being allowed in subject tags.

Now I'll just do:
- Find "Inquisition/II/Origins" & "Andromeda/Trilogy" among Dragon Age & Mass Effect category entries
- If found, ignore "Dragon Age" & "Mass Effect" as the main category and get the first accepted entry as the main category
- If not found, use "Dragon Age" & "Mass Effect" as the main category for the tag browser

Seemed to work well!
Relevant code:

Spoiler:

replace_metadata:
 category=> (- All Media Types|- Fandom|\(Movies\)|\(Movie [0-9]+\)|\(Comics\)|\(TV\)|\(Video Games?\))$=>
 prefix_category=>^(.*?)$=>[c] \1
## Accept only Dragon Age: Inquisition/Dragon Age II/Dragon Age: Origins for prefix_category if Dragon Age is also one of the categories
 prefix_category_LIST=>(\[c\] Dragon Age\,\s?)\[c\] Dragon Age(:? (Inquisition|II|Origins))=>[c] Dragon Age\2
 prefix_category_LIST=>(\[c\] Mass Effect\,\s?)\[c\] Mass Effect(:? (Trilogy|Andromeda))=>[c] Mass Effect\2
## Get the first category entry for tag browser
 prefix_category_LIST=>^(\[c\].*?)(\,.*)=>\1

## first ship, first category, rating, status with the added prefixes in Calibre's tags
include_subject_tags:prefix_ships_LIST,prefix_category_LIST,prefix_rating,prefix_status,prefix_wordcount

- adapter_literotica: 'Fix' clean_chapter_titles for titles ending with Pt or Ch

I've elected to address applegaa's issue with option 3. I also added a Fixing Literotica Titles ending in Ch or Pt section to the MetadataManagement wiki page.

I think I've figured out when the adapter removes the Ch or Pt and when it leaves it.

If the title includes a subtitle after the chapter number, it removes the period, chapter number, and subtitle while leaving the "Ch" or "Pt" as part of the title. If there is no subtitle, it removes the "Ch" or "Pt" along with the period and chapter number.

I'll send you some example links via direct message.

I got the PM--I think I see what you're talking about.

But I'm not sure what you want me to do about it. Honestly, I think it's on the site (or the authors?) to fix that.

You can fix it yourself for your downloads with:

[literotica.com]
add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=> (Ch|Pt)$=>

I hesitate to put that in defaults.ini because if you have a add_to_replace_metadata setting under [literotica.com] in personal.ini, the defaults.ini version will be ignored.

Perhaps as a commented-out section so that the user needs to enable it.

Not a bad idea. https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...6a094f91f29d36

When downloading from AO3, is there any metadata downloaded for the Mark for Later and Subscribe options (like there is for the Bookmark options)? Or does anyone know a way to get that info? I'm hoping to add custom columns to be able to filter by fics I have marked to be read and fics that I'm subscribed to.

I suppose a site specific metadata entry for 'subscribed' could be added by looking for the 'Unsubscribe' button. It would only be collected with always_login:true and only for a story(Work) subscription--not author/series subs.

I don't know what "Mark for Later" means--that's not something I'm seeing on the AO3 site.

Individual story subscription data was really what I was hoping for, I figured author and series subscriptions wouldn't be doable.

"Mark for Later" is an option AO3 has at the top of individual works (where the Entire Work, Next Chapter, Subscribe, Comment, Share, Download, etc. buttons are). It's probably only there if you're signed in I think? Clicking on it changes is to "Mark as Read" and adds the work to a "Marked for Later" list in your "My History" section.

Not for me it doesn't:


EDIT: I do see a 'Mark for Later' button on squidgeworld.org

Oh that's weird, this is what I see on my AO3.

New Test Version Posted

2023-07-25
- Add title replace_metadata(commented) for literotica Ch/Pt titles
- AO3: Add subscribed, markedforlater

I found it. This AO3 FAQ implies (but doesn't outright state) that 'Mark for Later' is a 'History' feature that doesn't appear if you have 'Turn on History' unchecked in your Preferences.

I apologize. I did a lot of digging into the actual adapter code, including uncommenting a bunch of logger.debug lines, only to finally understand what you said before...

I misunderstood how it was getting the title, thinking it was pulling it from the first chapter rather than the series heading on the submissions page. So, I was correct on what the bug is, but was wrong about where the bug is. It's too consistent to be author error, so it must be a bug in Literotica's code.

Thanks for the suggestion on how to work around it. I'll give that a try!
