Could someone help me to set up FFDL to get covers from Fanfiction.net?
I have tried adding those lines to personal.ini but I still can't make it to get covers. I am testing on this story, which as I checked has a cover: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6173022/...-Sand-and-Time [www.fanfiction.net]
## fanfiction.net's 'cover' images are really just tiny thumbnails. ## Change this to false to use them anyway. never_make_cover: false |

If you go to the story and click the image, the shadowbox comes up, but the image doesn't display because the image file is zero length. The larger image for that particular story is broken. FFDL doesn't try to use the ffnet thumbnail--it's just too small to be a useful cover. |

JimmXinu, thank you, at least I know I am doing it right.
I finally got that story with cover, but I guess it just doesn't always receive image right from fanfiction.net. |

Note to Jade Aislin and anyone else who might find it useful: On AO3, "character A/character B" is by convention not the same as "character A & character B". If you look at the FAQ on tags, "/" denotes a romantic or sexual relationship, and "&" is for friendship. Tag wranglers won't override an author's chosen tag if they don't follow, so there is mixed usage.
Also, in case you haven't run into it yet, the pipe " | " used to divide character names for characters who have multiple identities e.g.: "Snow White | Mary Margaret Blanchard" from "Once Upon a Time (TV)" doesn't actually have leading and trailing spaces, though it displays with them on AO3, so if you want to replace them with something else (I use a lower case L with leading and trailing spaces because it looks almost right) because Calibre divides tags with pipes in them into separate tags, the replace metadata will fail if you include the spaces. So use e.g.: Code:
ships=>(\|)=> l &&category=>Once Upon a Time \(TV\) Questions and comments: I found why my parentheses weren't working. I had the line Code:
include_in_category:ao3categories Code:
ao3categories=>#category,a To both re: duplicate stories on multiple sites: I usually treat a story by the same author on a different site as a different story because different sites tag and format differently, so I can't treat the downloads the same way to get the same result anyway. If it's a new-to-me story, I pick one site's version and only update that version. I download new-to-me (or ones I think are new), with "If Story Already Exists?" set to "Add New Book" so that if I happen to end up with a unnoticed duplicate in a long list I can compare them. The times when I'll switch, or add, to my library with another site's version of an existing story are if an author has stopped updating on one site and moved to another, or I know that there have been edits, in which case again, I have two versions, one of which I'll tag "deprecated" in one fashion or another. Offhand, I can't think of a time when I'll want to overwrite one site's version with another, so I do appreciate having a notification when it might happen. I've tested 1.7.24 and the notification works on the example Jade Aislin provided. Re: when an author or title changes I thought that the URL was already the identifier. I remember that title used to work as the identifier, but after an update, having FFDL match two stories with the same url, one of which I'd changed the title on. I'm reasonably sure that I've updated stories that have had one or both change, and had them update successfully, showing the new title and/or author. Potentially this is an issue if you want to retain the old title and author, but they still appear in the logpage_entries if you have it set to include them. |

If you don't want title/author changing in calibre, you can use the FFDL 'New Only' settings on the 'Standard Columns' tab. Inside the file (ie, titlepage/logpage), the title/author from the site will be used regardless. (I didn't think anyone but me used logpage. ) |

Re: & refering to friendship Thanks for that info. I was not aware of the distinction. I have tried to change my code so that the relationship column will be cleaner, but I don't think I succeeded. I wanted to use the slash mark between names and then add on Friendship, Family, or One-sided, when needed. Code: Code:
ships=>( )?(&|and) =>\1 (Friendship) ships=>(( )?(&|and|x)( )?)=>/ ships=>(- brothers|-brother|Brotherly |- family| - Familial Relationship)=>\1 (Family) ships=>(- friendship|- frienship| friendship|-Friendship|Platonic )=>\1 (Friendship) ships=>(( )?[Oo]ne-sided( )?| one sided|One sided |^onesided |^Onesides |unrequited )=>\1 (One-Sided) On another note, I ran into a couple errors when trying to download stories, unmatched group and invalid group reference. I'm not sure why I received these error. I didn't see any obvious similarity in the stories when I checked. Although one of the stories had the '|' in one of the fandoms that seabream mentioned. Is it a problem in my code somewhere? If so what should I be looking for? |

Does anybody know of a way to get stories off of WattPad with this plugin?

wattpad.com was previously considered for FFDL and rejected for "Entirely too much copyright." Which I confess is a bit vague--I think there was a big scary click-through copyright before.
I've looked at it again now, and the copyright doesn't necessarily look any scarier than any other now, but the viewing system is. FFDL is designed to have one chapter per page. WattPad further breaks chapters into "pages" that are loaded by javascript. I won't rule it out quite as firmly as before, but that only means that it's moved from the "Never Likely to be Supported" list to the "Possible, but more difficult than usual" list. This is where the list lives, btw. |

New code: ships=> (&|and)(.*?)$=>/\3 (Friendship) However, I was only able to test it once before I started getting an 'invalid group reference' for all the stories I had already. Quote:

The "invalid group reference" is more basic--you're using \3 meaning the third paren group, but you only have 2 paren groups. Change it to \2. |

It's pretty simple to get started:
The stuff Jade Aislin is asking about is black magic level customization. Ignore it. |

I think I'm beginning to understand the '\'. When you use the \# in your replacement, it will place whatever is in that number parenthesis. So, \2, will place what can be found in the second parenthesis. |
