[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[vulcana]

I think AO3 may have changed its login some how. I found my regular browsing windows logged out and I was able to log in.

However, this morning fanficfare was not able to use the login saved in the config file and my typed user id and password was not accepted.

Has anyone else run into this?

It's working for me...

Thanks

I now have a new error so I think something in my chrome may be messing it up. I appreciate the feedback. I will let the cache expire and see if that helps it.

??? AO3 is not one of the sites that FFF's BrowserCache feature is tested with. I know it won't work with AO3's login.

Ok so it was really messed up some how. Really weird as it now magically works (and I didn't restart anything or make other adjustments.) Just went off to do some things and came back.

Thank you so much for your touble and help

I've found documents that indicate the Simple cache is used by chrome on android. My testing shows it's also used on MacOS and linux. Chrome, Edge and Opera on Windows all use Block cache for me.

I've tested with Chrome 128 on MacOS and Linux(Ubuntu) and Chromium 128 on Linux(Ubuntu). All three use Simple cache and work with the experimental FFF code change.

Ideally, I'd like to test with older browser versions, to see when it changed and allow for back compat. But Google deliberately makes it as difficult as possible to downgrade to an older version. There might have been another user with this issue last month.

I've spent the morning failing to find the details of this chrome change. At this point, I give up. I might try to make it configurable just for peace of mind since it's release time in a few days.

New Test Version Posted

2024-08-28
- Chrome Simple Browser Cache extra field fix (Mac/Linux)

Okay, this version addresses the recent issue with Chrome Browser Cache not working on Mac/Linux.

I'd like to hear if anyone has problems using Browser Cache with this version regardless of OS or Browser.

A while back the maintainer of Stories Online enhanced his site to let authors upload a cover for their story.

Can FFF download the cover images from Stories Online? I have epub as my output format, but don't see any downloaded covers. Didn't see an obvious FFF configuration setting to enable this - sorry if I missed it.

I have the same situation for Royal Road downloads.

Thanks for a great plugin!

I don't read those sites, so I only look at them except when somebody asks for something.

Can you provide some story URLs with cover images that aren't being used? SFW stories, please.

Not much on StoriesOnline is SFW :-)

But there is a sister site SFW which I think uses the same core software.
Here's an example: https://finestories.com/s/10479/lost-empire

An account is needed to view past the first chapter, but the cover shows up without an account.

Here's a SFW link for a Royal Road story with a cover: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/92820/phantom-star

Turns out FFF already downloads those covers--if it's all configured.

Default settings do download and use those covers.

There are a ton of cover settings, I can't speculate what you might have done. But there's a wiki page talking about it.

Is it possible to put the tag, or at least extratag (or whatever the equivalent for AO3) in another column than the Calibre Tag one?

I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've associated the custom column with extra tags, and 'New only' isn't ticked, but nothing happens when I update from the saved metadata column.

I don't know if I just don't have the right field name or if I'm doing something wrong...

Are these set? It's been a while since I set this up so I might be misremembering.

Interesting. In all of my use of FFF on these sites I've never seen a cover.

Is there a particular setting I need to set to make it work for me? I haven't adjusted any of the default FFF settings.
