Time Magazine needs userid and password

Breed92014 · 09-06-2011, 03:06 PM

The Time Magazine recipe seems to retrieve snippets of articles, but then it wants a userid and password to continue reading the story. I do have a userid and password but am unable to enter it.

Has any one come up with a recipe similar to the NY Times, that allows us to enter a userid and password on a screen?

Thanks much, Betty Reed

TIME has decided to not make full articles available on its website, even with a userid/password. At least that was the way it was a few months ago. Go to time.com and try to read these articles with a browser and see.

This week's Time (Sept 19th) is dedicated to 9/11 and only has a couple of articles out there, so it's not a good example. So I went into the archives, pulled out an issue from a couple of weeks ago, and one of the articles asked for my username and password. I entered the information and was able to read the entire article.

OK, if you PM me your Time username and password for testing, I can add login code to the recipe. I'll probably do it next week though, once the normal issues resume.
