OK, thanks for the tip.

I'm a bit over my head on this one, I'm still learning calibre and never programmed in python (but I understand objects, etc).

I cannot get self.username to be recognized. So could you or someone feed me a bit more guidance?

In the The Economist recipe, there is an attribute/variable that holds the index url (INDEX). I need to concatenate the contents of self.username (which I would put a date in the format of 20110305 for example) to INDEX. So I need to end up with INDEX + self.username, but I'm struggling where to accomplish that in the recipe.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

(BTW, I do have the attribute of needs_subscription set to True, and I do get the prompt on the calibre interface).
