This thread is specifically for the Calibre Plugin version of FFF, so I assume questions here are about the plugin.

The FFF CLI version is a bit different, the CLI options -u/--update-epub, -U/--update-epub-always and --force control updates. See the CLI -h/--help list.

I don't know anything about "the Automation", it's not something I use or support.

hi,

i added the below to my personal.ini, but it didn't seem to change anything or make the summaries italicized. did i miss something? should i have plugged the word "description" into something on the titlepage_entry: line?

Spoiler:

titlepage_entry:<b class="fff_tp_label" id="${id}_label">${label}:</b> <span class="fff_tp_value" id="${id}_value">${value}</span><br />

add_to_output_css:
 #description_value {
    font-style:italic;
 }

sorry, i know nothing about css or coding in general so i'm not sure where i went wrong. i added this under the [epub] section since that's the only format i have anything in.

Did you install the latest test version?

If not, you also need wide_titlepage_entries: like I mentioned earlier.

Other than that, I don't see anything wrong.

If you want to customize your output to the level that you apparently do, I suggest learning at least a little HTML and CSS.

Check this thread, you might get some ideas.

thanks guys!! i didn't realize i needed to add that line into wide_titlepage_entries, lol. thought i just needed to clear out what was in wide_titlepage_entries by default to make it work. my bad!

appreciate all your help to anyone else who is frantically googling and cannot find answers: if you want the summary/description of the work to be italicized on your title page for epubs, below is what i added and now it works!

Spoiler:

titlepage_entry:<b class="fff_tp_label" id="${id}_label">${label}:</b> <span class="fff_tp_value" id="${id}_value">${value}</span><br />

wide_titlepage_entries:<b class="fff_tp_label" id="${id}_label">${label}:</b> <span class="fff_tp_value" id="${id}_value">${value}</span><br />

add_to_output_css:
 #description_value {
    font-style:italic;
 }

FYI, the latest test version specifically changes it so you don't need to include wide_titlepage_entries.

I posted about this before around a month and a half ago and am still having the same issue. When I try to use the plugin to update an epub, to add a new epub, or to update an anthology from an AO3 fic, I get an error message: "HTTP Error in FFF '403 Client Error: Forbidden for URL:"

I've tried using a VPN, I've tried using free public wifi at a restaurant, and I even tried someone else's personal home wifi when I visited them and they live in a different state. It is always the same message.

I know the developer won't work on the issue when it is so localized and not widespread and I get it and understand and that is fine. But even though I can just download epubs from AO3, that doesn't help with ones that are updating regularly. Unless I download a new copy every few days or whenever they update which is a non-starter and waste of time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this error so that I can once again update AO3 fics easily using the plugin? I'm not overly tech savvy or tech lingo knowledgable but I can follow directions.
