World Socialist Web Site

[yoss15]

Hi,

Would someone mind writing a recipe for the World Socialist Web Site, www.wsws.org?

Something that grabs all the article for the day, preferably with the "perspective" article first, any commentary articles for the day second and then the news articles last if that is possible.

The RSS is http://www.wsws.org/rss/en.xml

Please let me know if you need anything else, thanks.

OK so I've tried to do what I can to make my own recipe but I have no experience with this at all besides some basic knowledge of HTML.

Here is what I have so far

lass AdvancedUserRecipe1310393888(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'World Socialist Web Site'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100

    feeds          = [(u'World Socialist Web Site', u'http://www.wsws.org/rss/en.xml')]
def print_version(self, url):
    return url.replace('http://', 'http://wsws.org/tools/index.php?page=print&url=')	

remove_tags_before    = dict(id='page')

remove_tags_after   = dict(id='page')

The remove tags lines don't seem to be working for me, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any ideas?

You're missing the "c" in class and the def print_version, and both removes must be indented to the level of "title."

I think the missing "c" in class was just from copying and pasting to here.

Also how do the indentations work? Because I added the print version and didn't indent it and it cleaned things up a whole lot. Do I hit tab? Because it looks like a lot more space than in the tutorial so I wasn't sure haha.

I tried it with hitting tab and it gave me a different looking result but only slightly, it didn't remove the header and footer which I was trying to get rid of with the remove before and after lines.

Any ideas?

That's what I suspected, too.

Look at some sample recipes (there are many here and in the manual) and read up on Python. If you don't indent correctly, you will get errors, or your code will be ignored.
