category=>^Overlord (MADHOUSE Anime).*$=>Overlord - Maruyama Kugane

replace_metadata uses regular expressions which use () as grouping characters. To use them for actual () chars, you need to escape them with \.

Here's an example from my own personal.ini:

add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>Collision Course \(prev: SotL: Secretly Awesome\)=>Collision Course

If you want to learn more about regular expressions, this is a decent quick start guide and regex101.com is a useful tool for experimenting with different patterns to match different strings. FFF uses Python flavor regex.

place a \ before every special character to escape it

- Performance and perf profiling changes

'Unnew' and updates of stories with larger chapter counts should be faster.

Hi! I'm trying to set up to separate relationship columns, one for romantic relationships and one for platonic relationships. Unfortunately, my complete ignorance of python (and really any type of coding language) is coming back to bite me in the behind as I can't seem to figure out what I need to add to my personal.ini to make my romships column populate only with the X/Y data and the platonicships column populate with everything else, including the "Minor or Background Relationship(s)" tag. So far my efforts have resulted in either all the ships in both columns, none of the ships in both columns, or only the X/Y ships in both columns. I'd really appreciate some help in figuring out what and where things need to go.

Thanks!

...

Here's one way:

[defaults]
# create a couple new entries.
# note the leading ',' it's necessary.
add_to_extra_valid_entries:,romships,platships

# copy regular ships into them.  
# All replace_meetadata/etc for ships will already be done.
include_in_romships:ships
include_in_platships:ships

# keep only those containing / in romships
include_metadata_pre:
 romships=~/

# remove any containing / from platships
exclude_metadata_pre:
 platships=~/

# put them in your columns.
# Use your custom column identifiers instead of #romships / #platships.
add_to_custom_columns_settings:
 romships=>#romships
 platships=>#platships

A couple useful wiki page references:

• add_to_keyword
• InExcludeMetadataFeature

Hmm. This doesn't seem to be working. For a little while it wasn't taking out the X/Y ships from the platship column, although I believe I fixed that by moving everything out of [defaults] and into [archiveofourown.com], which isn't a problem since I only use AO3. Now I'm running into an issue where if there isn't an X/Y ship, the romship will populate itself with the & ship rather than leave the column blank. Trying to fix it by adding romships=~& to exclude_metadata_pre resulted in the romship column not populating anything.

Thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

[JimmXinu]

[defaults] vs [archiveofourown.com] should only matter if you already had `add_to_X` lines in the section and didn't integrate the new ones.

I'm not seeing any issue with only plat or only rom with my code.

Can you provide story URL(s) and the 'safe' copy of your personal.ini?

- PI Anthologies: Only put status in tags if in include_subject_tags. Closes #1332

[eb21145]

Here's the story link that I've been testing the code on.

Code:

[defaults]

## Some sites also require the user to confirm they are adult for
## adult content.  Uncomment by removing '#' in front of is_adult.
is_adult:true

##This is what metadata is put into the main tags category in Calibre on download or update, 
##if FFF is configured to update tags every time. Will add missing tags if updating an existing 
##story but will not overwrite/remove other tags on update if "Keep Existing Tags when Updating Metadata?"
##is checked on the Basic tab of the Customize FanFicFare menu.
#include_subject_tags: status, extratags

##Sorts ships alphabetically, ie Quinlan Vos/Obi-Wan Kenobi will become Obi-Wan Kenobi/Quinlan Vos
sort_ships:true

##The keep_in_order operator means that when the title page is generated, the chosen metadata categories
##will show up on the title page in the order they're listed on the original website instead of alphabetized
keep_in_order_ships:true
keep_in_order_characters:true

##Labels are what this metadata type shows up as on the title page if generated
publisher_label:Source Website

## keeps embedded style (helps with things like making right/left align text conversations look correct on downloaded ebook)
add_to_keep_html_attrs:,style,align

## This is a OTW-archive site.

## commandline version, this should go in your personal.ini, not
## defaults.ini.
username:XXXXXXXX
password:XXXXXXXX

## In order to get bookmarktags and bookmarksummary, you need to login
## all the time.  This defaults to off to save time and network
## traffic.  Requires valid AO3 username and password when true.
always_login:true

## Some sites also require the user to confirm they are adult for

## Some adapters collect additional meta information beyond the
## standard ones.  They need to be defined in extra_valid_entries to

## used in include_subject_tags, titlepage_entries,
## extra_titlepage_entries, logpage_entries, extra_logpage_entries,
## and include_in_* config items.  You can also add additional entries
## here to build up composite metadata entries.
## archiveofourown.org, for example, fills genre (a standard

Thanks!

I've opened an issue to the attention of the dev who added that site to FFF.

[seatail]

Hello! Is there any way to make a custom calibre column that contains inspiredlinks (or authorheadnotes)? I've tried setting up the column the same way as the characters and relationships columns, but with no luck. I also tried to use the template editor, but it doesn't seem to recognize #inspiredlinks or #authorheadnotes. Is there something I'm missing or is this not a feasible idea?

[JimmXinu]

Author head notes and inspired links are collected as part of story chapters, not story metadata. So they can't been set to custom columns. And only for OTW sites such as AO3.

The only option available is to *not* include them. From defaults.ini:

## AO3 chapters can include several different types of notes.  We've
## traditionally included them all in the chapter text, but this allows
## you to customize which you include.  Copy this parameter to your
## personal.ini and list the ones you don't want.
#exclude_notes:authorheadnotes,chaptersummary,chapterheadnotes,chapterfootnotes,authorfootnotes,inspiredlinks

## AO3 authorfootnotes and inspiredlinks end up in the 'last' chapter,
## but if updated, then there's a new 'last' chapter, leaving multiple
## copies.  This option applies the 'skip_on_ffdl_update' class to
## those tags which means they will be removed during epub reading for
## update.  This will only effect chapters added after turning the
## setting on.
## Result: Only the last chapter will have end notes.
## Side-effect: An 'Update Always' that doesn't add a new last
## chapter will also remove the end notes.
#remove_authorfootnotes_on_update:false

I'm not seeing any issues.

The problem I'm having is that the single '&' ship is being included in both the romships and platships columns rather than only showing up in the platships column. If there's both '/' and '&' ships or just '/' ships, then everything works as it should. It's just if there's only '&' ships that things go wonky.

I've attached a screenshot to illustrate what I'm talking about.
