Displaying Multiple RSS Feeds in a Single Section?

commandercup · 02-05-2011, 02:18 PM

Is there a way to have all my RSS feeds mixed into one long string of articles?

I prefer to read all of my feeds as a mixed bag where articles are shown simply in chronological order with no separation between feeds (sections in Calibre).

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Anything is possible if you are willing to write the code for it. In your case I'd suggest overriding the parse_feeds method in your recipe

Sadly I have no coding abilities beyond some HTML or CSS and looking over some of the recipes seems to indicate that I won't be able to do anything on my own.

Is there a specific place where I can request a recipe from you or someone in the community?

This is the place. I don't do recipe requests anymore, but someone else might be willing to help you.

Ok thanks. If anyone can help me, I'll offer a measly $1 donation via Paypal! Hopefully it'll be some sort of motivation for someone to help me make a recipe that'll display all my feeds as a single section.

I've upped the bounty to $5! Anyone want to help?

Here is my feeds line:

Code:

feeds = [(u'Lifehacker', u'http://feeds.gawker.com/lifehacker/vip'), (u'Game|Life', u'http://www.wired.com/gamelife/feed/'), (u'Kotaku', u'http://kotaku.com/vip.xml'), (u'PC Gamer', u'http://dynamic.feedsportal.com/pf/510578/http://www.pcgamer.com/feed/'), (u'Gizmodo', u'http://feeds.gawker.com/gizmodo/vip'), (u'Maximum PC', u'http://www.maximumpc.com/articles/all/feed'), (u'TechCrunch', u'http://feedproxy.google.com/TechCrunch'), (u'Boing Boing', u'http://feeds.boingboing.net/boingboing/iBag')]
