Small glitch: On this story, the subheadings start with numbers. When downloaded with FFF, the numbers are all 1.

Add start to add_to_keep_html_attrs.

<ol start="3">

Story URL? Because you've posted 2000 odd lines of configuration and I'm not testing all of them.

Hi, I apologize if this sounds like a dumb question but do we add the logpage information under [defaults] or [archiveofourown.org]?

I used the below code in the [archiveofourown.org] section of FFF personal.ini.

include_logpage: smart
logpage_entries: dateCreated,datePublished,dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords

It's been two updates for some stories and I don't see a logpage in the file. I'm not sure where this information is stored?

I read the "defaults" page and it sounds like the logpage is supposed to show up before the storytext but I'm not seeing it in the "edit" of the "In-Progress" stories.

Thanks for your patience with all my questions.

[epub]

Or [archiveofourown.org:epub] if you don't want it for other sites.

From defaults.ini:

Spoiler:

[epub]

## Each output format has a section that overrides [defaults]

## As of Jan 2020, FanFicFare can output either epub 2.0 or 3.0 (with
## backward compatibility toc.ncx file).  2.0 will still be the
## default for now.
epub_version:2.0

## epub is already a zip file.
zip_output: false

## epub carries the TOC in metadata.
## mobi generated from epub by calibre will have a TOC at the end.
include_tocpage: false
## When set to 'true', tocpage is only included if there is more than
## one chapter in the story.  If set to 'always', tocpage will be
## included even if the story only has one chapter.
#include_tocpage: always

## include a Update Log page before the story text.  If 'true', the
## log will be updated each time the epub is and all the metadata
## fields that have changed since the last update (typically
## dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords at a minimum) will be shown.
## Great for tracking when chapters came out and when the description,
## etc changed.
include_logpage: false
## If set to 'smart', logpage will only be included if the story is
## status:In-Progress or already had a logpage.  That way you don't
## end up with Completed stories that have just one logpage entry.
#include_logpage: smart

Thank you for your help. It appears next time I should scroll up a little more! The log page is now in my ebook file when I view it with the Edit Book plugin.

Thanks for your help!

One fic keeps replacing its generated cover with a downloaded one. I tried polishing new cover in but still does. How to make it stop?

Update Calibre Cover from ePub: Yes, Always
Generate Calibre Cover: Yes, unless FanFicFare found cover image
Inject/update generated cover into EPUB: Checked

No personal.ini settings overriding except a cover_min_size.

[JimmXinu]

Set use_old_cover:true. I use it per story.

You can set it under [epub] for all stories, but be aware that you would not automatically get it when the author changed the cover, or replaced a make_firstimage_cover with a specific cover.

## If set, on EPUB update, the existing EPUB cover will be used,
## taking precedence over specific, first image, and
## default_cover_image, but not force_cover_image
#use_old_cover:false

[ownedbycats]

Thanks. Coversettings are confusing.

[Amalthia]

Hi, I finally have story that's updated 3 times since I've started trying the new settings.

However, the custom column I created is still not populating with any data. I've verified the logpage has 3 entries with different word counts.

In my personal.ini "custom_columns_settings" under the [archiveofourown.org] section I am using the below settings.

custom_columns_settings:
 marked_new_chapters=>#unreadchpt,r
 words_added=>#unreadwords,r

This is my logpage code: listed under the [epub] section of my persional.ini.

include_logpage: smart
logpage_entries: numChapters,numWords
logpage_at_end: true

In the logpage here is what is listed:

Chapters: 4 Word Count: 9,241
Chapters: 5 Word Count: 11,036
Chapters: 6 Word Count: 14,359

I'm not sure what else I'm missing?

The chapter updates are working which is great. I'm not sure I really need the word count to be honest, but now out of curiosity I'd like to solve this mystery.

I'd appreciate any and all help.

Thanks,
Amalthia

Originally, words_added could only appear in logpage. So the code only calculates it if words_added is also in logpage_entries.

        ## words_added is only used in logpage because it's the only
        ## place we know the previous version's word count.
        if 'words_added' in (self.getConfigList("logpage_entries") + self.getConfigList("extra_logpage_entries")):
            new_words = self.story.getMetadata('numWords')
            old_words = oldvalues.get('numWords',None)
            if new_words and old_words:
                self.story.setMetadata('words_added',commaGroups(unicode(int(new_words.replace(',',''))-int(old_words.replace(',','')))))

I can't immediately see any reason not to remove that check, but I want to think about it a minute. I never considered that someone might want it without putting it in logpage...

Based off what you said, it looks like I need to change my logpage entries from:

logpage_entries: numChapters,numWords

to this:

logpage_entries: numChapters,numWords,words_added

I did review the logpage_entries settings in the "View Defaults (plugin-defaults.ini)"

However the only entries listed are these ones:

logpage_entries: dateCreated,datePublished,dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords,status,series,title,author,description,category,genre,rating,warnings

I didn't realize you could use "words_added" even if it wasn't listed as a logpage_entry.

Thanks,
Amalthia


I was never opposed to adding words_added to the logpage entries.

[Amalthia]

Hi,

Just an update, after adding "words_added" to the logpage_entries, the word count is now showing up in my custom column.

That was the last missing piece to making this work.

Thanks again for all your help and patience in answering my questions.
