Compatiblity

This generator is for most sites that uses the LightNovel WordPress Theme: https://themesia.com/lightnovel-wordpress-theme/

it should work for all sites that uses this theme (highest version tested: 1.1.5)

to know the name and version of the theme you can enter the url in : WP Theme Detector (it sometimes hallucinates for version 1.0.X as 1.0)
or you can check the version by adding "/wp-content/themes/lightnovel/style.css" to the site url and check the version in the file

Add a new source

sources.json

To add a new source you need to add it to sources.json:

  • id: the id of the source (something unique)
  • sourceName: the name of the source (you can use the value of "name" in "https://site.com/wp-json/" if it exists)
  • sourceSite: the site url
  • options: the options of the source
    • lang: the language of the source (default: "English") (check that the language exists in the languages (check folder names in "plugins/"))
    • reverseChapter: if the chapters are in reverse order (if the first chapter of the list is 1 set it to false)
    • versionIncrements: needs to be incremented if the url is changed or customJS is changed or a change to the template affects only this source
    • seriesPath: the path to the series page (if the "Novels"/"All Series" button doesn't go to /series/ (ex: https://site.com/novels/ set it to "/novels/"))
    • customJS: custom javascript that will be excuted when getting the text (if the site has a custom copyright that need to be removed (the cherrio is $))

icon

To add an icon to the source you can just run npm run build:icons to generate all icons (make sure npm run build:multisrc works on your machine)

Or you can manualy find the icon of the site
(try the favicon of the site (https://site.com/favicon.ico) most of the times it redirects you to an image named something like "cropped-site-32x32.png" try to access "cropped-site.png" or "site.png" if that did not work you can try to access "https://site.com/wp-json/" at the end of this very long file there should be a "site_icon_url" value ) (don't forget to convert it to png) and add it to the folder "public/static/multisrc/lightnovelwp/{sourceID}/icon.png"

filters

To add filters to a source you need to run the script "get_filters.js"
(npx node plugins/multisrc/lightnovelwp/get_filters.js (if you are at the root of the project) (and you have ran "npm install" before)) and follow the instructions (url is easier and faster but sometimes it doesn't work)
