Question from a Newbie
Hi All,
Does anyone already have a good recipe for the Isle of man news http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news As a newbie I really don't understand what I am doing when I try to create a custom recipe, I really don't have any coding knowledge at all (if it is even classified as coding.) If anyone already has a good recipe then I would be for ever grateful. If not then i guess i have a few long nights trying to figure it all out. Thank you very much Jay. |

HI
I knocked this up for you. It has the first 2 feeds so you can see how to get them. It does a little tidying (still plenty to do) but it should give you the idea. I'm only a basic coder so that's about all i can help... Code:
from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe import re class AdvancedUserRecipe1306061239(BasicNewsRecipe): title = u'Isle of Mann News' #description = 'News as provide by The Daily Mirror -UK' __author__ = 'Dave Asbury' language = 'en_GB' #cover_url = 'http://yookeo.com/screens/m/i/mirror.co.uk.jpg' masthead_url = 'http://www.iomtoday.co.im/webimage/wwio_publication_logo_7_3824!image/3834190894.png_gen/derivatives/default/3834190894.png' oldest_article = 28 max_articles_per_feed = 30 remove_empty_feeds = True remove_javascript = True no_stylesheets = True #use_embedded_content = True keep_only_tags = [ dict(name='h1'), dict(attrs={'class':['article-attr','image-caption','editorialSectionLeft']}) ] remove_tags = [ dict(name='div',attrs={'id' : 'localDirSearch'}), dict(name='h2'),dict(attrs={'class' : ['sponsorPanel','localDirSearch','socialBookmarkPanel','addthis_button']})] preprocess_regexps = [ (re.compile(r'h1><a href.*?/a></h1>', re.IGNORECASE | re.DOTALL), lambda match: '')] feeds = [ (u'News', u'http://www.iomtoday.co.im/cmlink/1.1643894'), (u'District News', u'http://www.iomtoday.co.im/cmlink/1.3096975') ] Quote:

Cheers Scissors,
It's a good start. I try it out and see what I get and then see how i can try to expand on it. Thank you very much. Reading through the forums is for sure helping but I'm not really tecchie so it is slow going. |
