Exeption: calibre_plugins.fanficfare_plugin.jobs(450): Exception

[dirkschut]

I was doing an update on my library and had the update mode set to overwrite always. It updated a few stories sucessfully but got an exception on this one, see log below.

There's an error in your chapter title pattern. Which ever of chapter_title_def_pattern, chapter_title_add_pattern, chapter_title_addnew_pattern, or chapter_title_new_pattern is being used.

What's your personal.ini look like?

[dirkschut]

I'm looking for what I did wrong in it right now. Sorry for assuming it was a bug :D

## 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


## Most common, I expect will be using this to save username/passwords
## for different sites.  Here are a few examples.  See defaults.ini
## for the full list.

[www.twilighted.net]
#username:XXXXXXXX
#password:XXXXXXXX
## default is false
#collect_series: true

[www.fimfiction.net]
#is_adult:true
#fail_on_password:XXXXXXXX

[www.tthfanfic.org]
#is_adult:true
## tth is a little unusual--it doesn't require user/pass, but the site
## keeps track of which chapters you've read and won't send another
## update until it thinks you're up to date.  If you set
## username/password, FFF will login to download.  Then the site
## thinks you're up to date.
#username:XXXXXXXX
#password:XXXXXXXX

[forum.questionablequesting.com]
## see [base_xenforoforum]

## Some sites require login (or login for some rated stories) The
## program can prompt you, or you can save it in config.  In
## commandline version, this should go in your personal.ini, not
## defaults.ini.
username:XXXXXXXX
password:XXXXXXXX

## This section will override anything in the system defaults or other
## sections here.
[overrides]
## default varies by site.  Set true here to force all sites to
## collect series.
#collect_series: true

## If true, when updating an epub that already has old chapters, new
## chapters will be marked in the TOC and chapter header by using
## chapter_title_new_pattern and chapter_title_addnew_pattern to set
## the chapter title.
## If set to latestonly, only new chapters downloaded this time will
## be marked (new) and existing chapters will have any (new) marks
## removed.
##
## mark_new_chapters can be true, false or latestonly
mark_new_chapters:true

## The 'date' value for chapters mentioned above can be formated with
## datethreadmark_format.  Otherwise it will default to
## dateCreated_format
datethreadmark_format:%%Y-%%m-%%d %%H:%%M

## (Plugin Only) - When mark_new_chapters:true, new stories added to
## an existing anthology will have *all* chapters marked (new).  If
## set to latestonly, existing (new) marks will only be removed when
## that particular story within the anthology is updated--either
## because it has new chapter(s) or you are using Update Always.
##
## By default, EpubMerge only creates one TOC entry for a story that
## has only one chapter (not counting titlepage and logpage).  Because
## that TOC entry is the story title, the *chapter* title doesn't
## appear in the anthology TOC.  Setting
## anthology_merge_keepsingletocs:true will keep the full TOC for all
## anthology stories, even when only one chapter.  Helpful to see
## (new) marks in TOC when mark_new_chapters:true
#anthology_merge_keepsingletocs:false

## chapter title patterns use python template substitution.  The
## ${number} is the 'chapter' number and ${title} is the chapter
## title, after applying chapter_title_strip_pattern.  ${index04} is
## chapter number padded with leading zeros (mostly for internal use)
## such as 0001.  ${index} == ${number} for backward compatibility.  A
## few site adapters add additional chapter metadata.

## The basic pattern used when not using add_chapter_numbers or
## mark_new_chapters
chapter_title_def_pattern:${title} $(date)

## Pattern used with add_chapter_numbers, but not mark_new_chapters
chapter_title_add_pattern:${number}. ${title} ${date}

## Pattern used with mark_new_chapters, but not add_chapter_numbers
## (new) is just text and can be changed.
chapter_title_new_pattern:(new) ${title} ${date}

## Pattern used with add_chapter_numbers and mark_new_chapters
## (new) is just text and can be changed.
chapter_title_addnew_pattern:${number}. (new) ${title} ${date}

[dirkschut]

I think I see what I did wrong. I should have put the chapter title stuff in the xenforo/ao3 section. Testing now.

[JimmXinu]

## The basic pattern used when not using add_chapter_numbers or
## mark_new_chapters
chapter_title_def_pattern:${title} $(date)

Change to ${date}.

[dirkschut]

Change to ${date}.

thanks :)
