god DUH

thank you, you literally already told me that to change the label name and i immediately forgot it when i circled back around to this two weeks later. im sorry! lol

TaviCalderon · 07-25-2024, 10:46 PM

hi back yet again and i'm unsure if this is even possible, so if its not that is fine. just let me know if i'm off the mark!

is it possible to make the series: ____ and byline: ____ sections on my title pages hyperlinks to the series page and author page? like, the same way that the work title has the link to the site embedded in it.

before i went and customized it, the author name was at the very top of the titlepage where it went [Story Name] by [Author Name]. both were functioning links to the story and author pages on ao3. i have a section called "byline" lower down on my title page, which is where i prefer author names be, so i removed the author from the top of the page.

i feel like it should be possible to make the spot where my author names show up be a link once more even though its toward the bottom of the page, but i'm not sure how i would accomplish that. what i have tried so far looked like the below, adding to wide_titlepage_entries, and it didnt do anything at all. (tried something similar but with {seriesurl} instead of {authorurl}, also did not work.)

Spoiler:

am i labelling something wrong, or am i trying to do the impossible?? (i am still bad at css and do not know what i am doing. still sorry about it.)

if it helps at all, the relevant section of my personal.ini [defaults] looks like this:

Spoiler:

and my [epub] section looks like this:

Try seriesHTML and authorHTML. I don't think byline gets an 'HTML' version.

WolFen · 07-27-2024, 11:36 AM

I know this is going to be fairly messy as I honestly don't know anything on how to really make things work (super new and unfamiliar with this), and was mostly grabbing what seemed appropriate from this guide, modifying a bit (Mainly the series stuff, as I knew my bookmarks have some works in series that go above 9 connected series) as well as grabbing a portion from a reddit post (The comment from OP with what to put in personal.ini)

I'd like help in figuring out how to make the bookmark notes/summary & tags show up in the metadata? I don't think it has to do with me being connected to my Ao3 account, as it asks me to log in every time I download (I probably screwed that up too lol, I'm fairly sure there's a way to make it just do it by itself as like, I do have my username and password in personal.ini but it doesn't do anything with it) so I'm a little lost

The rest of the mess I have I can handle, it's whatever I don't care about it too much as it at least still scrapes the rest of the metadata even if it's a mess/doesn't show in separate columns

Spoiler:

Code:

## This is an example of what your personal configuration might look
## like.  Uncomment options by removing the '#' in front of them.

[defaults]
## [defaults] section applies to all formats and sites but may be
## overridden at several levels.  See
## https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/wiki/INI-File for more
## details.

## 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

## Don't like the numbers at the start of chapter titles on some
## sites?  You can use strip_chapter_numbers to strip them off.  Just
## want to make them all look the same?  Strip them off, then add them
## back on with add_chapter_numbers.  Don't like the way it strips
## numbers or adds them back?  See chapter_title_strip_pattern and
## chapter_title_add_pattern in defaults.ini.
#strip_chapter_numbers:true
#add_chapter_numbers:true


[epub]
## Include images from img tags in the body and summary of stories.
## Images will be converted to jpg for size if possible.  Images work
## in epub format only.  To get mobi or other format with images,
## download as epub and use Calibre to convert.
## true by default, uncomment and set false to not include images.
#include_images:true

## If set false, the summary will have all html stripped for safety.
## Both this and include_images must be true to get images in the
## summary.
## true by default, uncomment and set false to not keep summary html.
#keep_summary_html:true

## If set true, and there isn't a specific cover image, the first
## image found in the story will be made the cover image.  If
## keep_summary_html is true, images in the summary will be before any
## in chapters.
## true by default, uncomment and set false to turn off
#make_firstimage_cover:true

Sorry if I put more than I had to, I feel like I had to (Outside of censoring my Usernames and passwords) as I am not sure where it went wrong- well where it went wrong making it so the bookmark metadata isn't collected

Also I apologize if it's sent twice, I tried sending it once but it didn't? I'm not sure why?

I am trying to get a column with the date (or date and time) of the last time the ebook was updated -- either the first time, or any time a new chapter is actually downloaded and added to the book.

I have created a custom date column, and configured FFF to fill this column with "Update", and did *not* select New Only.

But, this column is loaded on new book download only; it does not change when a new chapter is added.

Any suggestions?

FFF records three dates as metadata entries: Published (when story was first published by author), Updated (when story was last updated by author) and Created (when FFF created the current ebook). It sounds like you want Created.

As for why 'Updated' may not be changing, assuming the story(s) has been updated by the author, my only thought is if you have the 'Default Update Calibre Metadata' option unchecked on the FFF Basic tab, which would prevent most Calibre metadata changing.

[Deleted for <Accidental Duplicate>]
This forum is so confusing to understand how to delete stuff. I'm so sorry for the spam.

JimmXinu · 07-27-2024, 05:00 PM

I deleted two of your three dup posts. MR requires moderator approval of a new user's first few posts. The sites get too many spam accounts.

In no particular order:

For AO3 (without always_login:true), you should only be prompted for user/pass for stories that require login.
You don't need to copy extra_valid_entries and all the existing _labels etc unless you are changing them. defaults.ini already has them. And your version has some mistakes--look at the line starting kudos_label. Instead use add_to_extra_valid_entries:,series04,... for your new entries.

See the wiki page add_to_.
Do you seriously have a story with 20 series associated with it??
include_subject_tags is indeed the setting to choose what goes in Calibre's Tags column. However, because it comes from epub <subject> tags, it's set in [epub] in defaults.ini, which takes precedence over [archiveofourown.org] in personal.ini. Use either add_to_include_subject_tags:,ao3categories, fandoms, etc or move your include_subject_tags line under [archiveofourown.org:epub].

See the wiki page for precedence order.

Just a quick one. Storiesonline has started listing authors as "<author>'s page", which seems to be coming from the links at the bottom of a story page.

The top links are Home » Authors » Author » Story » Chapter
Bottom links are Home | Top | Author’s Page | Contact Author | Report Story

Is that with using the posted test version? Because I've fixed once already.

wide_titlepage_entries is a list of entries, giving it HTML is not going to work. And it's only for declaring which should be considered 'wide'.

Frankly, I'd like to remove the whole 'wide' distinction, but I had backward incompatibilities more.

titlepage_entry / titlepage_wide_entry (singular) are the HTML templates and the only values available are ${id}, ${label}, ${value}, not any metadata entry names.

I meant to put seriesHTML and authorHTML in titlepage_entries. Those HTML entries are specially constructed in the code to be linked HTML snippets for exactly that purpose.

WolFen · 07-28-2024, 12:50 PM

Gotcha, thank you. I figured as much, but while it informed me the message was waiting for approval when I used the 'Go Advanced', when I first tried the Quick Reply option it didn't let me know that, so I thought the messages were just deleted.

See the wiki page add_to_.

Oh huh I see, yeah I didn't know that, I copied these stuff from the guide and figured if it's there that means it's not default for the plugin.
Er I feel really dumb, as I don't quite understand. I'm not very good at this kind of stuff.
It seems like I don't need to do something anyways as you said it's unneeded except for the series entries, which I'm not sure how if it's wrong. I read and still have open the wiki section you linked, but it just doesn't make sense for me. Even with me learning English for years I think the more complicated stuff still stumps me. Add to that coding, and yeah I'm just not too sure what's going on.

Will attempt putting down what I think would be a fixed Ao3 section from what you said, labels wise at least. I think it might be Hits and Collections not being in their own lines, not sure. That is what I copied from the guide, so I guess they accidently messed it up in the guide itself

Spoiler:

The latter parts of make_linkhtml_entries & titlepage_entries I’m uncertain about. I couldn’t find anything in your wiki regarding make_linkhtml_entries, but again it’s in the guide and I assume it probably does do something for the series?
Going through what’s written in defaults.ini did help me understand how to maybe make it work better, but I’m not sure.
I’m uncertain if I put the additional Series labels in the right place.
Again reading through defaults.ini helped I think, so to add onto the make_linkhtml_entries I just put add_to_ beforehand, and removed the existing ones? I hopefully did the same with the extra_titlepage_entries
So if I did it right, this section should be fixed?
And if I read correctly, the bookmark data should be shown, but wasn’t due to me not having always loging set to true, but if I update everything it’ll show properly?

Heh surprisingly yes, not a lot but there’s two authors that co-wrote stuff, mainly filling bingo prompts, and they put their works in a lotttt of different series. They’re still important for me though, as sadly one of them passed away due to covid, so want to kinda respect it properly in my library

I could see include_logpage is usually set to false, so I hope grabbing that section and only changing it to true does the job?

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

this worked, thank you so much!! it was much easier than i thought. i don't know why but i really was convinced i'd need to do more css bs to make this happen, but just making lines to change the labels for series_HTML and author_HTML to Series and Byline and then replacing those two in titlepage_entries in my defaults ini worked immediately. lol!!

(tried something similar but with {seriesurl} instead of {authorurl}, also did not work.) Spoiler: Code: wide_titlepage_entries: <b class="fff_tp_label" id="${id}_label">${label}:</b> <span class="fff_tp_value" id="${id}_value"> ${id == 'author' ? '<a href="${authorurl}">${value}</a>' : '${value}'} </span><br /> am i labelling something wrong, or am i trying to do the impossible?? (i am still bad at css and do not know what i am doing. still sorry about it.) if it helps at all, the relevant section of my personal.ini [defaults] looks like this: Spoiler: Code: titlepage_entries: series,category,ships,characters,<br />,calibre_std_rating,status,rating,warnings,ao3categories,bookmarktags,<br /> extra_titlepage_entries:chapterslashtotal,numWords,bookmarks,kudos,comments,hits,datePublished,dateUpdated,author,collections,<br />,freeformtags,<br />,description replace_metadata: calibre_std_rating=>1=>★ calibre_std_rating=>2=>★★ calibre_std_rating=>3=>★★★ calibre_std_rating=>4=>★★★★ calibre_std_rating=>5=>★★★★★ and my [epub] section looks like this: Spoiler: Code: [epub] titlepage_start:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>${title}</title> <link href="stylesheet.css" type="text/css" charset="UTF-8" rel="stylesheet"/> </head> <body class="fff_titlepage"> <h3><a href="${storyUrl}">${title}</a></h3> <div> titlepage_entry:<b class="fff_tp_label" id="${id}_label">${label}:</b> <span class="fff_tp_value" id="${id}_value">${value}</span><br /> ## When using tables, make these span both columns. wide_titlepage_entries:<b class="fff_tp_label" id="${id}_label">${label}:</b> <span class="fff_tp_value" id="${id}_value">${value}</span><br /> add_to_output_css: #description_value { font-style: italic; } div.fff_chapter_notes { font-weight: bold; }

ditn Junior Member Posts: 2 Karma: 10 Join Date: Jul 2024 Device: Windows	FanFicFare does not update the "update" column I am trying to get a column with the date (or date and time) of the last time the ebook was updated -- either the first time, or any time a new chapter is actually downloaded and added to the book. I have created a custom date column, and configured FFF to fill this column with "Update", and did not select New Only. But, this column is loaded on new book download only; it does not change when a new chapter is added. Any suggestions?

Storiesonline has started listing authors as "<author>'s page", which seems to be coming from the links at the bottom of a story page. The top links are Home » Authors » Author » Story » Chapter Bottom links are Home \| Top \| Author’s Page \| Contact Author \| Report Story
