Only very very rarely do I update books. I usually wait till finished and then download.

I am not sure what error I am making but I can't get FFF to download AO3 using the browser cache. I have no problems using FFF for FFnet browser cache stories but I get the following error when trying to use it for AO3:

HTTP Error in FFF 'Page not found or expired in Browser Cache (see FFF setting browser_cache_age_limit)'(428) URL:'https://archiveofourown....

I have added these settings to the AO3 section of my ini file (I have removed the cache info, username, and pw from the code shown below:

[defaults]
collect_series: false
browser_cache_path:/Users/xxxxxxxxx

[archiveofourown.org]
use_browser_cache:true
use_browser_cache_only:true
##open_pages_in_browser:true
never_make_cover:true
is_adult:true
##username:xxxx
##password:xxxx

## AO3 offers a page to download the entire work at once.  This can
## save a lot of network traffic if there are many chapters.
## True by built-in default.
#use_view_full_work:true

[overrides]
browser_cache_age_limit:4.0
never_make_cover:true
skip_author_cover:true
check_next_chapter:false

I have tried searching the forum and looked at the github wiki but haven't seen a solution that works for me. I do not have always_login in my personal ini file and I have also added the opener scheme to my Calibre tweaks.

I am sure that I am doing something wrong but haven't figured out what yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Out of curiosity, is there any way to keep open_pages_in_browser from taking window focus? I was trying to look at something in another window while downloading a fic.

FYI, the number one piece of information I want when looking at a problem is story URL. After that is debug log. After that is ini settings.

However, since you have open_pages_in_browser commented out, I would guess it's a matter of not using exactly the same URLs FFF would, which adds 'view_adult=true' URL parameter when is_adult:true.

I have found use_archive_transformativeworks_org:true to be more convenient than browser cache with AO3.

Our hope is that AO3 will go back to normal operation at some point. And AO3 always has built-in epub download.

FFF cannot.

It's vaguely possible you could do that in OS/browser/window manager. I know I could have when I used fvwm on X, but I used focus-follows-mouse and turned off auto-raise-on-focus.

I wouldn't bet on getting that level of control in any 'modern' GUI OS/window manager.

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I added the transformative works and commented out the browser cache and that worked for FFF. I will remember your FYI on info needed for future issues. Hopefully, AO3 gets their servers figured out soon.

adapter_fanfictionnet: Make get_urls_from_page work, thanks dbhmw

Do need to do anything to use use_archive_transformativeworks_org:true, or just add the line?

EDIT: Adidng the line worked. Are there any instances where I want disable it?

[JimmXinu]

Won't with login. You can't login on that domain in browser, either.

[ownedbycats]

Will there be FAQ entry about this? Interestingly found no mention in default.ini.

Wondering if someone can help me with a bit of code for the title page, I'm having issues with

I'm using the below code for a nicer title page credit to @culytera, but it's absolutely huge on a kobo libra colour taking 3-4 pages to go past, and I'm not sure where to edit to adjust this size, i've tried changing the font size and it's changing in calibre but not the kobo.

I'm also getting something at the top of the title in calibre page saying

"error on line 25 at column 7: opening and ending tag mismatch :dl line 14 div"

I'm very new to this so this code be referencing something else in the personal ini, but it felt it made the most sense to be here.

Any help would be appreciated

I don't use Kobo so I'm not familiar. Does it have a setting where it can overwrite the font size in general? That's what I do on MapleRead.

Edit the book in Calibre and look for line 25 column 7, what's on it?

Without seeing the HTML it's hard to know.

FYI, wrap things like that in [code] tags to preserve formatting--sometimes it matters. And wrap that in [spoiler] tags when it's large.

If you mean a font adjuster in kobo yes there is one, but the font size for reading is fine while the title page is maybe 20 times bigger.

If I adjust the font to be smaller to fix the title page, it makes the font size of the fic unreadable by being too small

There's nothing in column 7 it just looks like this
</div>7

</body>
</html>

I placed a red 7 where something should be, but there's not

changed it sorry still getting my feet in here after diving back into having an ereader

The HTML is the code you can see when choosing the edit book option?

[JimmXinu]

Your error is "error on line 25 at column 7: opening and ending tag mismatch :dl line 14 div"

So there's probably either not a matching opening <div>, or there's supposed to be a </dl> to match an opening <dl> above.

Honestly, if you don't know what you're doing with HTML and CSS, maybe customizing it isn't a great idea?
