Cache settings work on story sections? I have a few in-progress that are locked.

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?

Yeah, I think I've gotten over my head I thought it would be an easy copy and paste, thank you for the help though!

Yes.

You know, for a lot of these questions, it would be quicker to just try it and see...

Thank you for putting this work around out there. This worked for me.

Incidentally, I did try the browser cache path first, but it could never find the stories in the cache, even after making sure they were open in the browser and that I had gone through each of the chapters to load into cache.

I use the same feature for FF.net with no issues in FFF(issues caused by FF.net is another can of worms), so not sure why AO3's browser option failed me.

As I alluded to above, I've been finding for the last few months, that FF.net is not updating their chapter indexes on chapter 1. New chapters don't show up in the drop down, so FFF thinks the story is already up to date. Have you seen anyone else reporting this issue? I've gone back to some stories 2-3 weeks after an update and still the same issue despite clearing cache and reloading.

Nobody said anything about the version I posted that did archive.transformativeworks.org as a separate site.

This version has a switch to force the usual archiveofourown.org adapter to instead use archive.transformativeworks.org for all network requests:

[archiveofourown.org]
use_archive_transformativeworks_org:true

Note that it cannot log in because log in doesn't work on archive.transformativeworks.org.

Other than the actual network reqs, this version still uses and records the normal AO3 domain.

This seems to work for me. I'd like to hear other peoples results.

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

Is that from titlepage_end?

It should only look like this so I don't know why you have a 7 there.

Spoiler:

titlepage_end:
 </dl>
 <div class="flex-parent display-on-cover">
   <div class="flex-child-edge"></div>
   <div class="flex-child-text stats"><span>${rating}</span> ${icons} ${numWords} ◈ ${chapterslashtotal}</div>
   <div class="flex-child-edge"></div>
 </div>
 <div class="flex-parent display-on-reader">
   <div class="flex-child-edge"></div>
   <div class="flex-child-text">${icons}</div>
   <div class="flex-child-edge"></div>
 </div>
 <div class="tag-summary-content">${description}</div>
 </body>
 </html>

As for the font-size, maybe try adjusting this part:

Spoiler:

 @media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px),
 only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) {
 	body.fff_titlepage { font-size: inherit; }
}

I don't know Kobo's screen size so you could change the min and max device width to the ones for Kobo to see if the CSS will apply. And also change it to font-size: inherit !important; maybe that can help.

I had the same problem with ff.net
but for the past few days it has not occurred anymore.

To copy paste from a post last month (MR search isn't working very well):

You can try check_next_chapter and meta_from_last_chapter.

## ffnet used to have a tendency to send out update notices in email
## before all their servers were showing the update on the first
## chapter.  It generates another server request and doesn't seem to
## be needed lately, so now default it to off.
check_next_chapter:false

## ffnet sometimes doesn't update the metadata on the first chapter
## immediately.  meta_from_last_chapter:true will instruct the adapter
## to take the metadata from the last chapter instead of chapter 1.
## It can generate another server request and usually isn't necessary,
## so it defaults to off.
meta_from_last_chapter:false

Beyond that, broken site is broken.

Note that if the last chapter is visible, check_next_chapter will cause repeated attempted on a chapter that isn't there before failing.

Another (hopefully temporary) kludge option that was added last release for ffnet only is:

try_shortened_title_urls:true

This is for when random chapters are listed, but don't work. It's not currently documented in defaults.ini because temporary kludge.

Another option that can help when only a few chapters fail, but others work is:

## Errors on more common during long downloads.  This way, at least
## the chapters the worked are saved.  Often running an update will
## fix the error chapters.
continue_on_chapter_error:true

Bad chapters will be marked, but the entire download won't be discarded.

- adapter_archiveofourownorg: Add use_archiveofourown_gay, allow archiveofourown.gay input for story URLs.

Somebody over on the CLI mail list pointed out that archiveofourown.gay exists and it is a valid AO3 mirror. Which, unlike archive.transformativeworks.org, does work with login.

Note that as far as I've seen, only archiveofourown.gay and archive.transformativeworks.org are mirrors, everything else redirects to archiveofourown.org. (I'm not looking at any 'insecure' variants at this time.)

Remove use_archive_transformativeworks_org if you want to try use_archiveofourown_gay. use_archive_transformativeworks_org wins if you try to use both.

I'm amused that TLD exists.

OH! This WORKS! Thank you!

Thanks for this great plugin! I know this discussion was years ago, but I came across it while trying to figure out if there was a way to collect series bookmark info with FFF, so I just wanted to throw my hat in the ring with @jesscat that I would also love to have that feature if it's a possibility

[JimmXinu]

While I appreciate that your first post on MR is here, you make 2 people in 6 years wanting that feature.

And AO3 is kind of a mess right now anyway, if you haven't noticed all the complaints.

What I've done instead for series with lots of small series entries is to just download them and recombine into one merged book.

It's a manual process, but I don't run into that many authors who spam new books instead of new chapters. (I'm looking at you Blue_sunshine.)

Ok, like I said just throwing my hat in, in case there were others.

I did notice (long time listener, first time caller), though the last thing I had seen from Ao3 was that things might be better by the end of April. Regardless, I didn't have any expectation of the feature being added immediately, or ever. Sorry I wasn't clearer on that. I did just get the use_ao3_gay adapter working, which is a great workaround, so thank you for that.

[JimmXinu]

FYI, I've added a new wiki page titled ProblematicSites to try to document the ongoing (and going and going) problems, especially with ffnet and AO3.

I've also done some moderate editing to the BrowserCacheFeature page and minor editing to the ProxyFeatures page.

Feedback is welcome.
