replace_metdata:
## tagcategory standardization
 tagscategory=>(Mass Effect: Andromeda|Mass Effect Trilogy)=>Mass Effect
 tagscategory=>Pokémon=>Video Games

# Sorts anything other than a few selected categories into "Fanfiction.Other"
 tagscategory=>Crossover=>
 tagscategory=>^(?!.*(Half-Life|Portal|Mass Effect|The Elder Scrolls|Disney|Star Trek|(Animated )?Movies & Television|Books & Literature|Video Games)).*$=>Other

# Adds Fanfiction. to the beginning of tagcategory
 tagscategory=>^(.*)$=>Fanfiction.\1

If I include the crossover replace, I get a Fanfiction.Other on every fic with a crossover category (so not mismatch on these specific ones). What's happening?

I think you left out part--I don't get any tagscategory.

I'd consider include lines instead of a large negative lookahead regexp.

<p><span class='label'>Series</span>: <div class='metadata' id='seriesHTML'><a class='serieslink' href='., /, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, :, a, c, e, f, g, h, i, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v, w'> , &amp;, 3, [, ], a, b, d, e, f, h, i, k, l, n, o, r, s, t, u, w, ’</a></div><p>

https://archiveofourown.org/works/39459798 :
<p><span class='label'>Series</span>: <div class='metadata' id='seriesHTML'><a class='serieslink' href='., /, 1, 7, 9, :, a, c, e, f, g, h, i, n, o, p, r, s, t, u, v, w'> , ', 3, E, N, S, [, ], i, k, n, o, s, t, y</a></div><p>


The only thing they had in common were being the third in the series and downloaded in May/June 2022. Downloading metadata restored the actual series so its just a curiosity than anything to fix.

That's the result of a string in python being treated as a list. I don't remember anything about series being treated that way 3 years ago. Nor have I found anything in the few minutes I have to spend on it.

Honestly, if it's not happening now, I don't care.

In the 'teach to fish' category:

• Go to the github repo.
• Use the search box towards the top to search the repo.
• In this case, I'd look at Commits.

Alternatively, if you are confident in your dates:

• Go to the github repo.
• Click commits.
• Click where it says 'All time', to the date range you're interested in.
• Peruse the commit from the time.

Here on MR:

• Go back in thread and/or release history to that time period.
• Look for posts.

With use_archiveofourown_gay:true, update metadata from website gets NoneType errors on restricted stories. Tested several stories, did this. Other update modes work.

Glitch with the one update mode, or just website being screwy again?

EDIT: I pm'd links.

Worked fine for me. Transient (hopefully) issues with the site, I would assume

Hi! I use Fanficfare to download exclusively from ao3. I love this plugin but would like to utilize Calibre better for my library.

I can view and click the story URL from the Id section or see the URL in the update pop-up.
I tried to add custom URL columns with #sourceurl and #calibre_cust_sourceurl but they did not work even though I updated.

I might be missing something basic but unfortunately could not find a solution by myself.

You haven't actually said what you want to accomplish here, so I'm guessing a bit.

You can get FFF to populate your custom column on download/update with the story URL on FFF's Custom Column setting tab.

Alternatively, you can create in Calibre a composite custom column (AKA a 'column made from other columns') that displays the url identifier using {identifiers:select(url)}. That would work with past downloads without requiring update.

If there's a way to make a url clickable in a column, I don't know what it is.
