[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[powerd]

Hi, Is it in the personal.ini? Do you possibly have a tutorial? I'm scared i might mess something up in there. Thank you.

I'm just wondering, there's not some extra documentation somewhere about how FFF adapters go about grabbing the information is there? I've been trying to parse it but am thoroughly out of my league.

The reason I want to is two fold. One, an adapter seems to be selectively broken, where it recognizes some stories and not others. Two is that I'd love to try to (if possible) adapt the system to grab from another site currently not supported, but I know that was never probably going to be easy.

You don't need personal.ini anymore.

Download the zip file in the thread's second post. Do not unzip it. Go to Calibre Preferences > Plugins > Load plugin from file and select the zip file.

Update on this: Apparently Outlook.com (which includes Hotmail) is blocking ffnet's emails. I switched it to one of my throwaway gmail accounts and set it up to auto-forward.

Thanks so much! I did what you said it works now!

I'm still trying to learn more about how to edit personal.ini though.

Customize FanFicFare > personal.ini > Open personal.ini

Just look for this line:

#is_adult:true

and remove the '#' in front.

If there's a typo for one of the settings, it highlights in red. So don't worry too much about breaking things.

So I'm now getting a more specific problem relating to when stories update with new chapters.

For Literotica, there is an extra_valid_entries called eroticatags.

I find them useful but don't want them in "tags" since I have a separate system there. So I created the calibre custom column "#etag" to hold them.

Then since I couldn't use the custom columns tab to insert them I added this to personal.ini (based on a similar answer about something like this):

[literotica.com]
add_to_custom_columns_settings:
eroticatags=>#etag

That works very well when importing new titles. But I've noticed that when updating an old story with new chapters it overwrites what is already there and destroys the #etag entries not included in the updated chapters.

Is there any way to have them add without deleting old entries?

Anyone else seeing Cloudflare captchas and "403 Forbidden" errors when trying to download from A03?

EDIT: and webserver errors as well. I guess this means that they are being DDoS attacked again....

They have the Cloudflare protections up. Hopefully not another DDoS.

I'm also seeing the error message and FanFicFare isn't working as a result I think. I got this error message:

HTTP Error in FFF '403 Client Error: Forbidden for url: https://archiveofourown.org/works/35453797/navigate?view_adult=true'(403)

Add the 'a' for append flag:

add_to_custom_columns_settings:
  eroticatags=>#etag,a

I'm seeing this, too. Let's give it a while and see what happens.

seems to be working normally again.

I'm continuing to get this error " 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_text' " whenever I try downloading fanfiction from AO3. Never seen this happen before, and it's only happening to a few fanfictions that I'm using the correct links for. Any way I can resolve this?

Post the links; if they're NSFW, PM them to Jim (since you haven't posted much: request here to enable private messages).
