But it doesn't seem to work.

That pattern literally matches: "Angel<one or more spaces> Buffy..."

You'll have read a bit about regular expressions and experiment and see what works. I'd start with something like:

${category} => (Angel.*Buffy:? [tT]he Vampire Slayer)|(Buffy:? [tT]he Vampire Slayer).*Angel) => AngelBuffyCover

This pattern should match: "Angel<anything>Buffy... or Buffy...<anything>Angel"

No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to work. Unfortunately I don't understand the code language all that well, mostly not at all.

It's stories like this one I would like a Crossover cover on, but it only shows the cover for Angel.

This works for me.

[archiveofourown.org]
keep_in_order_category:true

generate_cover_settings:
 ${category} => Angel.*Buffy.*=> CoverName
 ${category} => Buffy.*Angel.*=> CoverName

[Tanjamuse]

I still get the Angel Cover instead of the combi-cover. I have one cover for the stories that are only Angel, one for the stories that are only Buffy, but I would also like a cover for the stories that are marked with both Buffy & Angel i category/Fandom.

${category} => Angel => AngelCover
${category} => Angel.*Buffy.*=> AngelBuffyCover
${category} => Buffy.*Angel.*=> AngelBuffyCover
${category} => Buffy:? [tT]he Vampire Slayer => BuffyCover

But everytime I add a story which should have the combi-cover it adds the Angel cover instead.

That's because they are processed in order. So of course just 'Angel' will match first because it is first.

Thank you SO Much ... I had done them in alphabetical order and didn't think to test it in another order. You made my day. Thanks for all your help (yet again).

Have a great weekend.

I suspect that you have calibre covers, but not covers inside the actual ebook files. You can tell by viewing the book in calibre and noting if you see the cover or not. You can update or insert the calibre covers into existing books by using the Polish Book feature 'update the cover inside book files'.

FFDL has several options for covers. As you've seen, it can use covers from the site the story came from. There's also a personal.ini config parameter to set default cover images:


Does that help?

Sorry for the late reply.
You were correct, I was editing the metadata in calibre but it wasn't adding to the file itself.

And now it's perfect, that was exactly what I was looking for, your personal.ini config parameters. I do also like the Polish Book action, but the cover's aspect ratio isn't being maintained so some of these covers look pretty bad.

Okay, so I went through my Preferences -> Output Options and checked "Preserve cover aspect ratio". I swear I had it on already but evidently not. I had it set to preserve the cover aspect ratio in Convert -> Output only, not in Preferences. Whoops. (Interesting side note, the aspect ratio does stay the same but now the cover is in the center of the page instead of at the top of the page. Neat.)

Anyway, I left my mistakes and fixes in this post just on the small chance my mistakes can help a lurker out of a similar goof.

Thanks for all your help Jimm, it is appreciated.

Wait. So Literotica's been included since last December? Wow. I really to check changelogs more often. So I'm a little late, but still...

[Tanjamuse]

Does this work for you?

${category} => Angel.*Buffy.*Harry Potter.*=> AngelHPBuffyCover

If keep_in_order_category:false (or at least not true), yes it does.

If keep_in_order_category:true, then no it doesn't, because the order is different.

[Tanjamuse]

Where do I add the "If keep_in_order_category:false" ?

Go back and look at the posts around #3205

[Tanjamuse]

Oh, sorry I forgot it was the same thing.

Do I need two or more of every cover-option if I have the "If keep_in_order_category:false" ? Or is one enough?

If category is ordered, then it's always going to be in the same order for the same entries.

[Tanjamuse]

Do I need both

${category} => Angel.*Buffy.*=> AngelBuffyCover
${category} => Buffy.*Angel.*=> AngelBuffyCover

If I have "If keep_in_order_category:false". I'm sorry I don't understand.
