This is an extremely interactive site--there are reader comments and feedback sprinkled in the middle of chapters. It reminds me a bit of Addventure with this feature:

Create multiple endings

The story's not going the way you want? Split them off into different branches and different paths. The story can end in happily... or in a tragedy. Make all your fans happy.

So while I won't say it's impossible, I will say that I'm not interested in doing it.

Understandable. Thanks for looking! Do you have any resources or guides laying around explaining how to start off incorporating a site? I didn't see anything in the FAQ, but I could have missed it.

I'm not so organized as to have a document.

There are many sites supported with varying levels of complexity, so we generally point new devs to look in an
existing adapter. That one has some additional comments to help you.

Note that in addition to creating a new fanficfare/adapters/adapter_*.py file, it needs to be imported in fanficfare/adapters/__init__.py.

GitHub pull requests are the preferred way to contribute new code.

Any time the author's URL in Calibre changes, Calibre touches all of that author's books. In theory, Calibre shouldn't update if the URL is the same.

You can disable FanFicFare setting author URL on the Standard Columns config tab.

thx, it worked
the question is why did it start doing it after the last update

Hmmm. Good question.

Oh, the fimfiction.net adapter changed from using http to https for all fimfiction.net urls.

So...

I installed calibre today, specifically for this plugin. And I keep getting an error message for pretty much anything I try to download.

TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not unicode

Can you run calibre in debug mode (under the calibre prefs dropdown or ctrl shift R), try it again and then post the debug log?

Also, please include at least one story URL that exhibits the problem when making any problem report.

[mongognom]

That's not happening right now. I'm having issues in general with calibre, and right now it's not downloading at all.

I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I'm pretty sure this might be my stupid computer, but when I try to go into settings for FanFicFare, I get an error message

That looks like it might be a language translation issue. What language are you using?

[JimmXinu]

New test version posted

2017-04-16
- Fix for a mistaken Norwegian Bokmål translation.

Norwegian Bokmål is the only language that appears to have the problem reported ('side').
