- adapter_fireflyfansnet: Allow for missing authorId.

So looks like some authors don't have an authorId if I'm reading this right. What can I do?

Agreed, author URL is missing author id. Basically, the site is broken.

On a more active site, I suggest contacting them to report it and wait for a fix.

But the most recent chapters list also has 'chapters' in 2019 that are empty, both in title and content. And the top ten includes 2020--that's not a very active site.

Talking about broken sites, starslibrary.net is still noted as supported, but, as far as I know, the owners have stopped paying for the server and it's been around a year since it's been down.

There was talk about them trying to put it back online, but it had been largely unused for years before that, so I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

[JimmXinu]

There are a number (9?) of the 'supported' sites that are off line, broken, DNS parked, etc.

Historically, it's not uncommon for them to come back again later. Or only to be broken part time. I've needed to restore sites after removing them enough times over the years that I tend to keep them quite a while--typically 2-3 years--before removing them.

Sites that are officially closed or moved are removed much quicker.

Thank you so much! That's fixed it.

Yes, I saw that the site seems mostly dead, so wanted to archive a few stories just in case. Making it e-reader friendly is a positive side-effect

Then you're not actually including anything, it should be "include_subject_tags:freeformtags"

And move the freeformtag metadata changes under replace_metadata. However, you also have an extra entry called filtered_freeform_tags so you'll have to decide which one you'll actually want to add.

I made a quick test with your exact Ship column settings and all ships showed on mine so I don't know what you're lacking since I don't know your full setup.

Thanks, I have changed the format for the include_subject_tags:freeformtags

I have a already moved the freeformtag metadata under replace_metadata and tried using freeformtags and filtered_freeform_tags.

Thank you for double checking the ship column settings for me. I have used the same column types as shown in one of your screenshots you uploaded previously on the thread.

I've been trying to fix it but I'm honestly so terrible at this.
You've already helped so much and I really appreciate it! Would you be able to take a look at my full setup and see what's going wrong. Totally understand if not, because it would take up your time.

FFF stops downloading longer stories because it takes too long. Can this be disabled? Can the time be extended? Generally, or for specific websites? Or, if necessary, only for one story?

## How long to wait for each HTTP connection to finish in seconds.
## Longer times are better for sites that are slow to respond.
## Shorter times prevent excessive wait when your network or the site
## is down.
connect_timeout:60.0

And if you're using flaresolverr:

## flaresolverr_proxy_timeout is in integer milliseconds.
## Keep flaresolverr_proxy_timeout set smaller than connect_timeout
## otherwise the connection *to* flaresolverr will timeout first.

flaresolverr_proxy_timeout:59000

You can share your full personal.ini here, make sure you share the "safe" personal.ini. (Fanficfare settings > personal.ini tab > View "Safe" personal.ini)

Enclose it in spoiler and code tags:

Spoiler:

Like this so it doesn't take up too much vertical space.

And a screenshot of your Fanficfare Custom Columns window. (Fanficfare settings > Custom Columns tab)

connect_timeout doesn't help me with SOL. The site probably has too much traffic or other problems. And I don't want to get banned because of too many requests.

The Sietch didn't really like the use of FFF and banned my account.

I'm looking for an efficient way to clean up Ao3 category subject tags for Boku no Hero Academia. I have an idea of what I think should work, but let me know if there is a better way. My test batch of fic has the category listed as

僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia for one

僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga) for the other.

Looking through the wrangled tags page, I'm seeing a whole lot of nonsense I'm likely to encounter once I start updating the rest of my library. (Said nonsense under the spoiler)

Is there a way to change any category tag that includes "Hero Academia" (not case sensitive) to "Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia"?
