Properly identify links to individual chapters of a work as "work" links

[3iren]

I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with the fic I put in, but it's stuck at getting pages. So after about 230 page pulls I tried the good old turning it off and on again, and that unfortunately did not work. Not quite sure which link it is as the downloads don't appear to be in order in my files, but I suspect it's an unfinished fic that isn't a link to a series nor is it in a series. Apologises if this is already a known issue.

Interesting, would you mind emailing me your log.jsonl file? nianeyna at gmail

You appear to be entering links to individual fics instead of to collections of fics (such as series, author's works, search results, etc) which is not intended (see issue #92). If you want to download works one by one manually, there's no reason to use ao3downloader - just use the download buttons provided by ao3.

huh interesting, I've been choosing the download links from file option and directed it to a .txt file with links I've copied and pasted from my bookmarks to make downloading a lot of fics easier

[nianeyna]

Ah, I see. Well, if you want to do that, in the txt file make sure you link to the full work rather than the first chapter (you can check this by whether "chapters" appears in the url). That said... why not just give it the link to your bookmarks?

[3iren]

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding something really simple due to my tech illiteracy, I'm not using AO3 bookmarks because I was an idiot and for some reason did not make an account for ages :'). So instead I'm using my browser bookmarks which have been exported in seperate txt files based on the fandom for easy organising.

[nianeyna]

Ohhhh, I assumed you meant ao3 bookmarks, sorry! Yeah, makes sense. Hm. I may be able to fix it so that it can recognize chapter links - I'll reopen this issue to keep track of that idea. In the meantime, you would have to delete the "chapters" bit from all of your links to get it to work, unfortunately.

If you want, FanFicFare pulls the full work out of alt url formats for ao3 so there's probably some regex logic you can reuse

[nianeyna]

Should be fixed now - any url containing /works/ followed by a work id should now be recognized and properly handled, even if there is more stuff in the url after the work id
