Would it be possible to get a recipe for National Geographic Mag?

[Gnome Eater]

I know there are already recipes, but those are for the Daily News feed. I was curious if one could be made for the print edition only: http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/NGM/NGM_Magazine

Hi Gnome!

Here is it! I hope you like it!

By the way: I like KDE!

Spoiler:

class NatGeoMag(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title                  = 'National Geographic Magazine'
    __author__             = 'Diniz Bortolotto'
    description            = 'The National Geographic Magazine'
    publisher              = 'National Geographic'
    oldest_article         = 1
    max_articles_per_feed  = 30
    category               = 'geography, magazine'
    language               = 'en_US'
    publication_type       = 'magazine'
    use_embedded_content   = False
    no_stylesheets         = True
    remove_javascript      = True

    feeds                  = [('National Geographic Magazine', 'http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/NGM/NGM_Magazine')]

    def print_version(self,url):
        segments = url.split('/')
        printURL = '/'.join(segments[0:3]) + '/print/' + '/'.join(segments[3:])
        return printURL

    remove_tags            = [dict(id='global_footer')]

Here is a quick version which does not use the "print version", and so retains the photos, but loses the continuation text which is only in the "print version". Another side effect is that the table of contents shows some items, such as "Presented by:", "Game: Animal Z's", "Now: Real Angry Birds", "Next: Elevator to Space", "Desktop Wallpaper", "Visions of Earth", "Flashback", "Your Shot" and "MyShot" (contents shown today) although these items are not extracted. The "Photo Journal" is included, but has no heading before the first photo. remove "dict(attrs={'class':'slide'})" to drop this item. If you do not want the "Editor's Note", remove "dict(attrs={'class':'main_2wide'})"

class AdvancedUserRecipe1310601553(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'NationalGeographicPrintEdition'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    use_embedded_content = False
    keep_only_tags    = [dict(attrs={'class':'main_3narrow'}),
      dict(attrs={'class':'main_2wide'}),
      dict(attrs={'class':'slide'})
      ]

    feeds          = [(u'National Geographic Print Edition', u'http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/NGM/NGM_Magazine')]

Yes! That is correct. I made the recipe very quickly and with readable content in mind. I don't know (yet ) how we can go to the next page and merge the content. So, I prefer the printable version. Maybe someone could help this matter.

There are lots of posts in this forum about multipage handling. Search for that term and you will find useful information.

Basically, a multipage does this:
1) it finds the link to the "next page"
2) it goes to that page and gets everything on it that the recipe author wants.
3) it pastes that stuff into the first page.
4) it repeats 1-3 until there is no "next page" link.

The recursion is tricky to understand, but it's easy to copy the multipage code, which is already set up. Almost every multipage recipe is the same and copies the same bit of multipage code, except for the part about what tag is used to find the "next page" and the part about what part of the next page to keep.

Start with the Adventure Gamer recipe, then ask questions about what you don't understand.

Has anyone consolidated this into some working code yet? Though my username is Iostream, I'm not that handy with code myself.

I just need everything that is in the printed edition, including the pictures.

Thanks,

Iostream
