As for what to include in the logpage, I assume using # extra_logpage_entries: is what’s needed

I haven’t put it in my personal.ini yet, as I want to make sure I didn’t screw it up more beforehand lol

You could make a second calibre library for testing changes. "Try it to see if it works" is a primary testing technique, IMO.

I will point out obvious errors, but if you haven't tried it, I'm not going to either.

• Look for the paragraph in add_to_ about "Gotcha". You need a leading comma(,) to keep them as lists.
• Keywords with a list, in general, shouldn't be on the next line like you have extra_titlepage_entries.
• OTOH, multiple line settings like custom_columns_settings will only work if all lines to be included have leading whitespace. That indicates to the INI parser they are a continuation.

I've fixed the format issues, but I don't promise it does everything you want:

## include a Update Log page before the story text. If 'true', the
## log will be updated each time the epub is and all the metadata
## fields that have changed since the last update (typically
## dateUpdated,numChapters,numWords at a minimum) will be shown.
## Great for tracking when chapters came out and when the description,
## etc changed.
## Plugin will now preserve the log page when the epub is overwritten,
## too.
include_logpage: true
## If set to 'smart', logpage will only be included if the story is
## status:In-Progress or already had a logpage. That way you don't
## end up with Completed stories that have just one logpage entry.
#include_logpage: smart
## By default, logpage is placed before the story chapters. This
## setting, if true, will place the logpage after the chapters
## instead.

Hello all, I am having trouble updating a specific story: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1435823...ing-Not-Earned . I can update other FFN stories, but for some reason this one will not update the latest chapter. More specifically, it will not update while I use the Opera browser but seems to have no issue if I switch to using Firefox; I do not seem to have this issue with other stories or sites (the Opera vs Firefox browser). The error message I get is the standard 403 Error despite doing the usual things (open first chapter then latest chapter, cloud captcha, etc). Can anyone else see if this duplicates for them, or have an idea what's going on with this particular story? This problem has been a repeated issue for me the last 8-ish chapters and it's kinda annoying having to open my backup web browser for this one story update.

TIA

Yeah, ffnet has been blocked from direct download for the majority of users for years now. If you're only having troubles with one story, you're doing better than everybody else.

There are a couple work arounds that have been added to FanFicFare, but they require more effort:
https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...erCacheFeature
https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa.../ProxyFeatures

I did check and I was able to download that story using Browser Cache feature after caching all the chapters.

I didn't know about the Proxy option before, but I have been using the Cache trick since FFN started being a *bleep* about downloading. For whatever reason it just doesn't work for this one story thru Opera (and yet works for Firefox). I was just wondering if it was something on my end or something about that particular story. Seems it must be something on my end. I'll keep jumping hoops then.

Thanks for the feedback!

Okay. Your initial post didn't say and I assumed.

We have had some weird Browser Cache corner cases where certain pages(chapters) didn't cache, or couldn't be found in the cache for certain people.

Basically, the only way to troubleshoot it is, a) if the user can duplicate and b) give me a copy of the cache files. Then I might be able to figure something out.

If you have a work around with Firefox, I'm inclined to not worry about it for a one off.
