No idea. I would suspect you are giving a URL that isn't a story URL.

MGSaintz · 03-13-2023, 09:28 PM

I'm using a vpn would that cause that?

JimmXinu · 03-13-2023, 09:39 PM

Quite possibly. I know users have had other problems with FFF caused by VPNs.

It's certainly worth trying without the VPN, if you can.

MGSaintz · 03-13-2023, 09:54 PM

Got it to work, had to remove the vpn software. Probably installed weird when it updated gonna look into it later. Thanks for the help.

For those who have a long-text metadata column, the Job Spy plugin has updated its Notes Viewer. (Note that I'm using a test version in the screenshot.) You can view as HTML even if the column is set to plain text.

Question: For one story, I'd like to move part of the title over to a custom #subtitle column, but without affecting how it appears on the title page.

What would be the best method of doing this?

I thought of using custom_column_settings to just insert directly, but that only works for the custom #subtitle.

Make an unchanged copy of title with title.NOREPL and use that in titlepage_start instead of title?

ownedbycats · 03-14-2023, 09:51 AM

I'll try that, thanks

What does NOREPL mean? "reply" doesn't seem to make sense.

JimmXinu · 03-14-2023, 09:52 AM

NO REPLace_metadata

ownedbycats · 03-14-2023, 09:54 AM

Oh, that seems obvious now

ownedbycats · 03-14-2023, 11:14 AM

Got it mostly working, but why would add_to_custom_column_settings fail here?

Code:

[defaults]
## This works...
custom_columns_settings:
 "Fanfiction"=>#booktype

[https://archiveofourown.org/works/43792521]
## ... but this doesn't?
add_to_custom_columns_settings:
 "Rise of The Terra-Rannochian Commonwealth"=>#subtitle

The only difference I can think of is that #booktype is enum and #subtitle is a longtext (using the short title form).

JimmXinu · 03-14-2023, 03:12 PM

Okay, apparently the configuration object used during Calibre update is a 'lightweight' version. 'Lightweight' config/adapters are used for internal stuff only and don't generate any network traffic.

For reasons I don't remember, that includes not setting up to use the storyUrl section.

I'm looking into it to see if that can be changed. It's pretty non-intuitive as-is.

In the meantime, you could use a replace_metadata line conditional on storyUrl or storyId instead of story URL section.

ownedbycats · 03-14-2023, 03:19 PM

Since FFF won't overwrite it on update, I just put it in by hand. Hopefully it can be changed though

JimmXinu · 03-14-2023, 05:49 PM

New Test Version Posted

- Fix for custom columns [storyUrl] sections.

Turns out this was much easier than I feared.

Hi, JimmXinu, I've been noticing recently that stories I download via FFF + FlareSolverr from fanfiction.net has been including embedded ads. That wouldn't be an issue if they didn't break the Kindle Reader for some reason. Can you do some post-processing of the chapters you grab from those places and remove those divs from the html (I've only tested this on downloads to epub).

The problematic element formats are:

<div class="google-auto-placed ap_container"><ins class="adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate"><div id="aswift_7_host"></div></ins></div>

<div class="google-auto-placed ap_container"><ins class="adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate"><div id="aswift_4_host"><iframe id="aswift_4" name="aswift_4"></iframe></div></ins></div>

The digits I marked aren't the only problematic ones, obviously, I had to replace it with /d in the regex when I was fixing the files, but I wanted to make sure you saw them all.

Just removing them from the xhtml files should be enough
