[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[ownedbycats]

btw, not entirely related to FFF specifically, but I found that OTW has a status site: https://www.otwstatus.org

but there was a "Redis Maintenance" in March which makes me wonder if ElasticSearch new servers are already in place and the issues are permanent: https://www.otwstatus.org/incidents/zc1lbr91pj5m

Okay - after beating my head against a wall, I'm having an issue that might have been answered, but trying to page through 719 pages of info made my eye (lost one ten years ago) blurry.

Column 'Updated' - AO3 supplies this info, but now it seems FFF is defaulting to the day I do the update, not the actual Updated date in the metadata.

Is there something I need to tweak to have the Updated column fall in line with the actual metadata being received?

FFF populates:

• Calibre's standard Date column (aka timestamp) with FFF's Packaged datetime (aka dateCreated), and;
• Calibre 's standard Published column (aka pubdate) with FFF's Published date (aka datePublished).

If you want a column specifically for FFF's Updated (aka dateUpdated) metadata, you need to add a custom column for it. That's one of the custom columns I use, too.

That decision dates back to the prior incarnation of the plugin when it was called FanFictionDownLoader.

(Note that Calibre's Modified column (aka last_modified) is automatically set by Calibre on any change.)

Ya - I have a custom column for that and it USE to populate properly....but I think I 'threw a switch' someplace so that it's not getting the correct data....can you remind me where that is in the INI?

Depends on your setup.

Calibre custom columns can be set from FFF Config > Custom Columns tab, or custom_columns_settings setting in FFF Config > personal.ini, search for that or dateUpdated. Both can be set to only populate the column on 'New' books instead of every update.

IT WORKS

A thousand blessings on you and yours, Sahib

Thank you so much....

Hello,
I'm currently unable to download stories from Literotica.
All information is in the Error.txt file. Also included is the calibre-debug-log.txt file.
I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Yes, I then installed the current trial version.
Did I miss something?

It's working great on the main site, but on the language-specific sites it's only getting the first page, and not the second page and up.

Your log shows that you have FanFicFare (4, 45, 8), the current test version I uploaded this morning is 4.45.9 and addresses the error in your log.

I'm not seeing that. Downloading multiple chapters fine with german (the only multi-chapter, non-english literotica in my test lib).

You can PM some story URLs to me that demo the problem.

I re-downloaded and reinstalled the plugin.
The subsequent download of the story was successful.
Thank you.

For me, this happens with all multiple-chapter stories in german. It even happens with a fresh calibre installation on another computer with only the test plugin installed.

Perhaps we are talking about two different things.
It picks up the next chapter OK, but stops after page 1 of every chapter. The page count is always 10 for those chapters, and it doesn't pick up the publication date.

Most FFF supported sites don't have 'pages', so I did assume you meant 'chapters'.

But I don't have a collection of stories from that site to compare to, and I don't want to have to look at a bunch to find one that matches your problem.

Please PM me some story URLs that exhibit the problem if you want me to look at it.
