TOC in recipes

shaunconn · 03-22-2009, 01:45 PM

Hi

I'm trying to setup my e-reader as the place to view my 20 or so regular RSS feeds. If I create a new recipe and add the feeds to it, the TOC shows one entry per feed, which means I get 200 pages of "CNET" followed by 200 pages of "CBR", none of which is indexed.

If I set them up as individual recipes, instead of tagging them all under RSS, calibre automatically assigns the feed name in the tag, giving me dozens of collections (which I don't want).

Whats the best way of doing this - I want a single collection on the Sony PRS-505 (called, say RSS) containing all my feeds, with each indexed.

Regards/Thanks

The main TOC will have one entry per feed but the sub-TOC will have an entry for each article in each feed.

Hi

Using the Google reader recipe gives me a collection on the e-reader called "Google Reader".

It has a TOC with one item per google reader title (I have google reader folder). When I go into the folder (e.g. Photo) it shows me page 1 of 147 pages of articles from the 4 feeds I have in the folder "Photo" from my google reader account. These are links (is this the sub TOC?), but they're not seperated into the 4 feeds, there's just pages and pages of links, presumably from all the photo feeds.

If I want one TOC per feed should I remove the folders from google reader?

Ah no the google reader recipe has that limitation. However, if you create a custom recipe and just add your feeds to it, it will create the sub tocs as I indicated before.

Hi

Or if I remove my google folders and just have all the feeds at top level, will it do the same thing - it seems like it should!?

I'm trying to avoid a custom recipe where I can!

Regards/Thanks

You'd have to try it and see, I don't remember the details of how the google reader recipe works

Hi

This seems to achieve what I need - however, all the feeds are now empty (but they're showing unread items when I browse to google reader on my machine).

Is there a limit to the update frequency from google reader via calibre?

Regards/TIA

IIRC it only downloads starred feeds

Hi

Surely not - you have to manually star a feed in google reader :-)

I think it actually downloaded some messages earlier today, but with all my playing and redownloading it seems to have stopped...

:-(

Appreciate the help btw!
