Same also happens for me, with ficbook.net, I reinstalled flaresolver and run it with LOG_LEVEL=debug / LOG_HTML=true and it shows ficbook's page for this fic (sometimes with adult warning if fic is adult)

Trying to figure out how to do something for when I try to "download from URL" a story that already exists.
For the most part I find it good that if there's nothing to update nothing is updated. I don't want to suddenly have them redownload if I select a story I didn't realize was already in the library. I tend to import many stories I found in recent browsing, and I'd like to be able to group all of what I imputed as a "new find" even if I may have found it before but let it get ignored into the general library. I would like some indication with the #fffupdate field. That there was an attempt to update it even if nothing was updated. Do I maybe need a custom field or is there a way to do this? The reason being, if I am trying to import a story I already have, I'd like it to be grouped with the stories I just imported in some way. If I missed it was already in my library I don't want to then continue to have it not stand out with what was newly imported. Is there a way to do this without it just redoing every other field? |

Configuration > Custom Columns lets you set a 'last checked' datetime column. You should set this as separate from your update column. I think this will not update if you cancel the library update dialog.
You can also use Configuration > Basic > Mark added/updated books when finished for both success and fail (note that 'no updates' counts as a failure). This will persist until manually unmarked or Calibre being restart. Last edited by ownedbycats; 06-23-2024 at 03:01 PM. |

Thanks. Last checked sounds exactly like what I am wanting out of it. Just a way to remember what I re-found.
My only concern is would any of that mess with tags, publisher, etc or would the updates be isolated to just last checked if I told it to update on failure? |

Yes, this - I've lost count of how many times I've accidentally run 'update if new' instead of always and wondered why my metadata didn't update, lol.

Hello! I've recently started using FanFicFare and Calibre to send AO3 ePubs to my Kobo Libra 2. However, on the title page, the words get cut off on the right. I've tried editing the CSS by adding this to the personal.ini:
Code:
add_to_output_css: body.fff_titlepage {font-size: 2vmax; margin: 5vw;} For example, instead of: Quote:
Quote:
Code:
add_to_output_css: body.fff_titlepage { width: 80%%; margin: auto; padding: 0;} This problem isn't present within the actual story, just the title page. Any help is appreciated! |

I had to look up what vw and vmax units even mean. It doesn't look like they are new, but what I'm finding suggests they aren't common. I'd use %, which needs to be escaped as %% in personal.ini. Depending on your settings, your epub may have a cover image made from rendering the title page, any chance that's what you may be seeing? I would troubleshoot this by editing the epub using Calibre's Edit book feature to isolate whether it's something weird with the Kobo reader or with FFF's output. IE, if a page renders correctly everywhere except on your Kobo, is the Kobo the problem? I don't know anything about Kobo ebook readers, but I know there's a bunch of plugins and additional discussion about them there. |

Also, in the Edit Book feature, the margins are changing accordingly, but that doesn't show up if I use the Calibre ebook reader. In the Calibre ebook reader, the margins don't change at all, but none of the words get cut off there. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=3788 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=3789 I was mainly following these posts, but since this is from an older Calibre version, it might not be working anymore. |

Hmmm. I forgot I ever posted that.
![]() Once upon a time, automatically generating a cover in Calibre from an FFF epub with title page gave a vaguely readable image of the title page as cover image. Then Calibre changed to render the title page as if it were on a larger display and "title page as cover image" wasn't legible anymore. Those settings were my attempt to make the title page readable again. I eventually quit trying. Seeing the margins change in Edit is good. Not seeing it in Calibre View(reader), suggests either you didn't save it and re-open View, or the cover image thing, or some CSS weirdness. Edit and View don't render exactly the same. When editing a book, you'll see a OEBPS/cover.xhtml file or some other variant of 'cover.xhtml' if there's a cover image. In View(reader), it's apparent as the title page is still after the cover. The fact words aren't being cut off suggests that issue is either Kobo, or the overall width somehow being set wider than the Kobo screen. Can you post an example of your epub (SFW and ideally a small one) either here or somewhere else and link to it? |

In the book I was looking at, there wasn't a cover image. In Edit Book, it only has the title_page.xhtml, file0001.xhtml. There's a cover.jpg too.
The picture of the epub from my Kobo is here: https://i.imgur.com/ZSSJR7a.png, which is from when I made the font-size: 2vmax. There's a margin on the left, but none on the right. A workaround I found when testing is actually to add a cover image, which fixes this entirely! It makes the title page have the same margins as the story. The code I posted earlier doesn't seem to affect the cover image or the title page at all. |

PSA: Archive of Our Own will be having planned downtime at 07:00 - 17:00 (UTC) July 1. Update your fics before then!
I'm expecting the usual influx of "why can't I download any AO3 fics while the site's undergoing maintenance" posts. Last edited by ownedbycats; 06-29-2024 at 06:54 PM. |

Searching defaults.ini, squidgeworld.org does, it uses the same server software as AO3. Also www.adastrafanfic.com, but restricted isn't configured for it and that's not mentioned in defaults.ini.
But I'll put some updates in the comments. |
