Request for Recipe: Village Voice
 

Wondering if anyone would be willing to put together a recipe for The Village Voice.

Here is the link to their RSS Feeds: http://www.villagevoice.com/about/syndication/

I'm a complete incompetent when it comes to this stuff, but would be very grateful if someone were to put this together.

Just bumping this up since it seems to have gotten buried.

Hey y'all -

I posted this request about a million years ago, but nothing ever came of it. Managed to remind myself of it when I was reading a lengthy voice article online this week. Just thought I'd bump it up to see if anyone wants to take on the challenge...

have you tried making a basic recipe and add these feeds

Barty:

yes, and if you look at my original post from April 2010, you'll see that I provided the same link. I'm computer illiterate, but not actually illiterate.

The problem is that the syndicated feeds only give the first page by default - it requires tweaks to pull the full article. That's where my skill ends.

Sorry, apparently I have the opposite problem :)

Quick fix.

Do you want all of these feeds to be included? Or are you looking at a specific feed e.g. only the news..

* Village Voice RSS Feed
* Village Voice News RSS Feed
* Village Voice Music RSS Feed
* Village Voice Movies RSS Feed
* Village Voice Restaurants RSS Feed
* Village Voice Music Events RSS Feed
* Village Voice Calendar Events RSS Feed
* Village Voice Promotional Events RSS Feed
* Village Voice Restaurant Guide RSS Feed

I might have a look at it later.

Thanks Barty - I'm checking it out now :thanks:

OK. I've been using since posted, and I was having trouble figuring out why only the front section was showing any articles, until it occurred to me that calibre doesn't re-download articles in multiple sections if they've already appeared (hence, the 2-3 "news" articles were buried in the full feed and not showing up in the "news" section). No need to change the recipe now that I've figured this out - I've customized and turned off the full feed and now i'm getting "news", "music" and "movies" in the way that I prefer. I just wanted to post an update for anyone else who may be confused as to why these sections are "empty".

Thanks again for working on this! I can usually figure out enough to not break things by modifying already-existing recipes. I'm just no good at creating them from scratch.
