[GUI Plugin] FanFictionDownLoader

[Firedancer885]

I downloaded the beta again, installed it, restarted Calibre and still got the notice. The version you posted registers as 1.8.1.

    name                = 'FanFictionDownLoader'
    description         = _('UI plugin to download FanFiction stories from various sites.')
    supported_platforms = ['windows', 'osx', 'linux']
    author              = 'Jim Miller'
    version             = (1, 8, 03)
    minimum_calibre_version = (1, 13, 0)

Are you sure you're installing the same file you downloaded? I've done that before, download to one dir, but be looking somewhere else for it.

Got it. The problem is the extra_valid_entries line in your personal.ini. It's overriding the one in defaults.ini and removing groupsURL. Remove that line and it will work.

Removed it and it works. And went ahead and removed the extra as you suggested. Thanks so much!

Jimm,

I managed to install the proper plugin yesterday, but it still doesn't work. I put the update hook line into my personal ini. Still got 2 appendix chapters.

The chapter list says that that is the most recently updated chapter:
"238. Appendix (2013-12-12)"

I assume you did "Overwrite Always" yesterday, and there aren't any chapters marked 2013-12-11. That suggests that the chapter dates aren't accurate.

And if that's true, there's nothing further I can do to detect new out of order chapters. You'll just have to manually watch for out of order updates and overwrite when they happen.

Version 1.8.04 - 12 Dec 2013
(v1.8.03 was a testing only version)

• Raise minimum calibre version to 1.13.0 due to changes in identifier:url searching
• Alternate URL efiction.trekiverse.org for trekiverse.org/efiction
• Add do_update_hook to AO3 for updated chapters in the middle
• Reorder defaults.ini files to put user/pass is_adult first in all sections
• Graceful fail for 'k'HTML when no 'k'Url

I've installed the latest update, and now any archiveofourown.org fics won't download - it just says that "local variable 'chapter' referenced before assignment". I've tried several urls, so it isn't one specific fic. Any ideas please? I'm on the newest version of everything, and I used it fine yesterday.

Oops. New bug that affects AO3 stories with only one chapter. New version shortly.

Hi guys, since having my problem fixed last week I've been experimenting with my personal.ini more.. I've gotten it to automatically fill a few custom columns I'd been doing manually which is rather exciting. Now I'm trying out different things that I've wanted but calibre didn't start with. However, I've run into a bit of trouble with mixing custom columns and site-specific metadata.

Specifics:
On fimfiction.net, I'm trying to create/populate a custom column for Likes. I have a specific custom column set up, restarted calibre, and went to the custom columns tag under FFDL. It'd not there though so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something in my personal.ini. Probably somewhat related to these lines if I had to guess:

#custom_columns_settings:
# cliches=>#acolumn,r
# themes=>#bcolumn,a
# timeline=>#ccolumn,n

I've been reading the wiki and the FAQs which helped some of my other problems but not this one. Anyway, advice on how or where to read to get to the next step would be appreciated.

Those lines are commented out (the preceding # does that), so I'm not sure how they could have an effect on anything.

I collect Likes metadata from FiMFiction myself. Here's what I have in the [www.fimfiction.net] section of my personal.ini:

custom_columns_settings:
 likes=>#likes,r
 dislikes=>#dislikes,r
 views=>#views,r
 total_views=>#total_views,r
 short_description=>#short_description,r
 groups=>#groups,r
 prequelHTML=>#prequel,r
 sequelsHTML=>#sequels,r

The #likes custom column is set to "Integers" type, as is the #dislikes, #views, and #total_views column. #short_description is a "Long text" type column, and #groups, #prequel and #sequels are all "Comma separated text" types.

Site specific metadata don't appear on the custom columns tab, only the regular ones.

FaceDeer's answer is correct, for site specific metadata you need to use custom_columns_settings under [www.fimfiction.net] section.

[www.fimfiction.net]

# lines starting with # are comments only.

custom_columns_settings:
 likes=>#likes,r

# 'likes' and other lines to be included in custom_columns_settings 
# must each start with a space.

Test version with new site: literotica.com adapter mostly by de3sw2aq1. This is very much an adult site.

UPDATE Dec 17, 2013 -- Remove obsolete beta versions
(Look for a newer version in more recent posts.)
