As a general rule, FFF does not fetch multiple pages with 'Get Story URLs from Web Page' or 'Make Anthology Epub from Web Page'. It's 'Page' singular. Partly to limit complexity and partly to limit users from deciding to download 100s or 1000s of stories at a time. However, FFF already has specialized code for series on AO3 (aka OTW), so I will at least consider spinning pages for it. |

I would really appreciate it, if you would spin pages for it. Even if it's probably only a problem for a handful of users. And I use slow_down_sleep_time, I usually set it to 2 for ao3, for the odd series with 100+ stories I set it to 4, never had the Retry Later error page with that. Yes I could use Get URLs from webpage for each page, then copy paste them into make anthology from urls and then add the new url in the right place when it gets updated. But that would get old really fast since many authors add stories in the middle of a series. examples: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1683661 https://archiveofourown.org/series/1034549 https://archiveofourown.org/series/1533116 Last edited by nan1923; 04-01-2024 at 06:04 PM. |

Well, new pagination would explain why I'm seeing this now.
I appreciate your consideration. Thanks for your reply. Quote:

New Test Version Posted
2024-04-02 - OTW(AO3) Support Paginated Series Can be given /series/999 URL or one of the ?page=1 URLs, to the same effect. It looks for the highest page number(X) and fetches pages 1-X because OTW pagination doesn't show all pages for larger lists. |

Thank you! I just tried with the example series from my initial post about this and it worked for me.

Thanks!
I tried it with one of my example series and one of the 100+ stories series. Both were downloaded correctly Only thing I noticed is that fetching links and downloading metadata for those paginated series takes longer then before it was paginated. But the pagination itself should be the reason for that |

Yes, having to fetch another page for every... page adds time.

Is there any way to make FFF more resiliant to temporary download errors?
With that I mean, if I'm downloading a 3000 chapter novel which takes half a day, I really don't care if there were 3 chapters that had a timeout or some other error and got skipped on this initial download and just left out. It should just try again to download the missing chapters when I do an update. But having the initial download fail after running for half a day and be left with nothing is really annoying. |

Code:
## Because some adapters can pull chapter URLs from human posts, the ## odds of errors in the chapter URLs can be higher for some ## sites/stories. You can set continue_on_chapter_error:true to ## continue on after failing to download a chapter and instead record ## an error message in the ebook for that chapter. continue_on_chapter_error:false |

My current FanFicFare Calibre Cover settings are as follows, and I have the "Allow generate_cover_settings from personal.ini to override" checked. I'm currently using this SV work for testing as
Spoiler:
Unless I'm misinterpreting something in the wiki section about generate_cover_settings, I'd expect Generate Covers to run on this work using the preset I have defined in my personal.ini but it doesn't? Am I doing something wrong/missing something here? Any assistance/clarification is appreciated. |

So just to double check, you want:
Yes, Always vs Yes, Unless I think the setting you're misinterpreting is Generate Calibre Cover. When you have Generate Calibre Cover: Yes, unless FanFicFare found a cover image set, and a cover image is found, all Generate Cover settings, including generate_cover_settings, are ignored. So if you want generate_cover_settings to be able to override story covers, you have to use Generate Calibre Cover: Yes, Always. Then you arrange things so that no GC setting is set for sites/stories where you do want the cover image. The wiki section Generate Cover Plugin WITH Story Cover Image and WITHOUT is closest to what you want. Or at least, that's what I referred to. Solution The best way to do this depends on what else you have in your personal.ini, but here's one way:
Code:
[forums.sufficientvelocity.com] # or in [defaults], might be nicer if you want similar for other sites generate_cover_settings: ${publisher}=>sufficientvelocity.com=>SufficientVelocity [https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/daughter-of-the-white-moon.96253/] # clear GC settings for this specific story, use story cover from site generate_cover_settings: This assumes that you do not have GC settings chosen in the GUI either for Default or the specific site in question. I also assume you have the radio button for Plugin Generate Cover checked (vs Calibre Generate Cover). I found a different short SV story with a cover image to use as the exception case so that your example will get the GC. Hope this helps. |

Ah, I see where I messed up now.
I had previously tried Generate Calibre Cover: Yes, Always which did everything I wanted when it came to the XenForo works I had, but it also replaced the author-provided covers for Scribble Hub as I had GC set to generate Scribble Hub covers in the GUI. I had forgotten that I can unset it from the GUI and add it in the ini file as ${cover_image} => ((first)|(default)|(^$)) => ScribbleHub which would keep the author-provided covers but use GC for the default ones. Thank you for being so helpful and I'm sorry for wasting your time with something this trivial. |

No problem. Covers are excessively complicated.
Looking back, you described your problem well the first time, but I didn't have the cycles to parse it then, sorry. |

Hey, I have a small troubleshooting issue. Hopefully this is the right place to put this. If not, please redirect me, and I apologize!
I am trying to add a category tag, "TestCat", to every fic I download. So I put it under defaults in my personal.ini like this, alongside the character and ship tags: [defaults] extracategories:TestCat extracharacters:TestChar extraships:Test/Ship The (test) characters and ships get added to every fic as they should, and so do the tags I have listed under extratags later on, but for some reason extracategories does not work, no matter what I put in there (I tried lots of test words to see if my replace_metadata or exclude was blocking it, but no dice). Is there a reason anyone might know of that this would be the case? I thought it might be the custom column I use for categories, but both ships and characters use the same type of custom column (values like tags), and both of them were able to add things no problem. Thanks in advance. |
