How to obtain the URL of the article in postprocess_html

[primolarry]

Hi there,

I have coded a recipe that retrieves URL from Todoist (task app) and builds an epub

https://github.com/rga5321/todoist2e...Todoist.recipe

I would like to recover the URL of every article so I can add it in the HTML (it is coded in a separate part of the project, but it doesn't work. I want to do it inside the recipe)

In parse_index, for every chapter, I add every article with these metadata (line 178):

                                        arts.append({
                                          'title': title,
                                          'url': url,
                                          'date': item['date_added']})

But I don't know how to recover the "url" metadata in postprocess_html(self, soup, first), where I don't have the article object.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot, regards

calibre add a footer with the URL each article was fetched from automatically, you dont need to do anything.

Hi kovidgoyal,

Thanks for your reply. Where does it do it, exactly? Because I must be overriding the function that does it, as the calibre footer that you mention doesn't appear in the ebook generated with my recipe.

Thanks,

IIRC if you have your output profile set to kindle it wont, for epub with a non kindle profile it will. And it happens in _postprocess_html() I think

Hi kovidgoyal,

Are you sure that it is done in postprocess_html? I have:

- Commented my postprocess_html function, so the default one is used
- Forced the generic_eink profile while running the recipe with ebook-convert (--output-profile=generic_eink)

And still the articles doesn't have the footer.

If you could point me to the code in calibre that does it I would really appreciate it.

Regards,
