Is there a way to add tags to Titlepage for FineStories, SciFiStories, etc?
For score this works

Quote:

add_to_titlepage_entries:,score

but neither

Quote:

add_to_titlepage_entries:,score,tags

nor

Quote:

add_to_titlepage_entries:,score
add_to_titlepage_entries:,tags

works for tags.
Is it possible and, if so, what are the magic characters?

While updating my fanfictions I'm getting an unknown error for a few of them:

Code:

bad escape (end of pattern) at position 4

I'm wondering what it means?

I've been heavily playing with my personal.ini lately, but since the error only appears half consistently, I don't think it's the problem?

(By half consistently, I mean that as far as I can see, 4 of my stories always have an error when I try to update, but around 15 others have brought it up once on the 3 times I tried to update them)

Try sitetags not just 'tags'.

Maybe it's a regexp issue? Run in debug mode, try again, view the log. Post the debug log here if you need help reading it.

...

Turns out that, if you forget to escape the '\' in the output, everything breaks...

(in my defense, it is rather hard to read bug reports when the position is also initialized after every '=>')

Thank you!

Thank you; that works. Add to the wiki?

Would it be possible to add the release date of a chapter to the chapter title/bookmark?

sable · 09-09-2024, 04:16 PM

I presume I can add it to chapter_title_def_pattern in my personal.ini, but don't know the right variable name (or if the variable even exists)...

JimmXinu · 09-09-2024, 09:26 PM

There are only a few sites that have dates on chapters FFF can read. Notably, AO3 and Xenforo forum sites (SB/SV).

Search in defaults.ini for tocpage_entry to see which sites support what additional data items.

It's been a while since it was last discussed.

Out of curiosity, when updating multiple fics, does FFF do any prioritization, or do them in the same order as listed?

sable · 09-10-2024, 08:02 AM

The job got stuck and in the log I found an exception. I made an issue on the github repo: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/issues/1105

If updating a list of selected books in your library, the order given will be used.

When getting URLs from emails, a set() is used to remove duplicates. I believe Python's set() returns them in an 'undefined' order.

When giving a list of URLs, I believe the order is used.

In all cases, when it gets to the background job, a parallel job is launched for each different site in the list so stories from different sites can download simultaneously.

Hi!, I'm encountering some trouble with xenforo and tags.
This is the normal code that I had have for some time:

Quote:

[base_xenforoforum]
include_in_category:category,tagsfromtitle,parentf orums
Category=>genre,tagsfromtitle
skip_threadmarks_categories:Staff Post
order_threadmarks_by_date:true

I have a custom column called "Fandom" and I have in the custom columns settings that "Category" should fill the "fandom" column. When downloading the following story: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...solid.1110955/
the title and "fandom"column are as follow:

Title: Magical Espionage Action
Fandom: Harry Potter, Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid, Wizarding World

wanting to clean the "fandom" column I added the following to the bottom of the previous code

Quote:

add_to_replace_metadata:
(Harry Potter|Wizarding World)=>HP
(Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid)=>Metal Gear

And wanting to see if I did this correctly, I downloaded the story again and now the title and fandom column looks as follow:

Title: Magical Espionage Action (HP/Metal Gear Solid)
Fandom: HP, Magical Espionage Action (HP/Metal Gear Solid), Magical Espionage Action (HP/Metal Gear Solid)), Metal Gear, Metal Gear Solid

the same thing happened when downloading other stories that I tried to clean for example a story from QQ (NSFW link removed--JimmXinu as mod) was changed to:[NSFW]Tech is harder than diamonds (SU) and the fandom was:[NSFW]Tech is harder than diamonds (SU) (yes the same as the title)

So either I'm doing something wrong, or there is a bug in the code.
Hope someone can help me and thanks!

Edit: I realized that just having "add_to_replace_metadata:" even without anything under it (I noticed because I forgot to comment it) causes this except nothing gets replaced, which is to be expected seeing as no replacement tags were indicated.

There's several different things going on here.

First

As given, this is broken:

Code:

[base_xenforoforum]
include_in_category:category,tagsfromtitle,parentf orums
 Category=>genre,tagsfromtitle
skip_threadmarks_categories:Staff Post
order_threadmarks_by_date:true

I'll assume the space in "parentf orums" is an artifact of copy/paste, but "Category=>genre,tagsfromtitle" isn't valid there.

Maybe you wanted something like:

Code:

[base_xenforoforum]
include_in_category:category,tagsfromtitle,parentforums,genre

## or maybe:
add_to_include_in_category:,genre

(For issues the Second thru Fourth)

You posted:

Code:

# section [base_xenforoforum] assumed
add_to_replace_metadata:
 (Harry Potter|Wizarding World)=>HP
 (Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid)=>Metal Gear

I instead suggest:

Code:

[base_xenforoforum:epub] 
add_to_replace_metadata:
 category=>^(Harry Potter|Wizarding World)$=>HP
 category=>^Metal Gear Solid$=>Metal Gear

Second

add_to_replace_metadata under [base_xenforoforum] in personal.ini replaces add_to_replace_metadata under [base_xenforoforum] in defaults.ini. See wiki page and search for "another non-intuitive complication".

[base_xenforoforum] is unique in FFF's default.ini for having a bunch of processing in add_to_replace_metadata for tagsfromtitle. The alternative was a hard coded processing.

Alternatives include putting your add_to_replace_metadata under [base_xenforoforum:epub], or the individual site sections, or [defaults] in personal.ini.

Third

In the same code sample, you're applying those lines to all metadata entries, such as characters and description. It would be better, IMO, to limit them to the category entries you're trying to fix.

And use ^ and $ to only apply them when it's the whole entry. Otherwise, a few months from now you're left wondering why "Wizarding World War II" is becoming "HP War II" or whatever.

Fourth

(Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid) matches the string "Metal Gear Solid", replaces the Metal Gear part -- with "Metal Gear" and leaves the " Solid", yielding... "Metal Gear Solid". Just remove that part of the regex. You don't need to replace "Metal Gear" with "Metal Gear" anyway.

I expect your QQ issues come from the add_to_replace_metadata problem.

I removed your NSFW link, BTW. Please use PM when you can't use a SFW link to demonstrate a problem.

does this means that this will apply only when the tag is for example "Wizarding World" but not if the tag is "Wizarding Worlds"?

Also, there's a fic that get's tagged as "Saga Of Tanya The Evil, Tanya the Evil (Sort-of), Tanya the evil" tanya the evil get's repeated three times. something like

Quote:

category=>^ (Saga Of Tanya The Evil|Tanya the Evil $Sort-of$|Tanya the evil)$=>Youjo Senki

would be fine? I ask becuase of the multiple tanya's there

my bad, the fic is also on SB so I thought it was fine. sorry.

Thanks for your detailed response. I'll try your suggestions

Is there a way to add series[0] to existing anthologies in Calibre ?
I found the option to add it to "New Anthologies", but have not figured out what I need to do to make it happen to ones I already have....

Also : is there a way to make an anthology from the CLI, or is it a plugin option only ?
