Locked articles at some Slovak webpages - Pianomedia system

[Birko]

Pianomedia is payment system for some premium articles in the slovakian webpages. Calibre can download articles from sme.sk and tyzden.sk . These webs are participating in Piano and if somebody want to read some types of articles, he has to pay. My problem is, that im subscriber in Piano and I would like to read these articles in my Amazon Kindle after conversion with Calibre. But for premium articles is neccessary to "log in to Piano"? At websites are banner for log in to Piano. Is it possible in next versions of Calibre bulid in log in fuction for this? Because premium articles without log in to Piano are downloaded only as "information text with instruction how to pay". It would be very good feature for Calibre and users from Slovakia.

Wall Street Journal supports login, but SME doesn't. Look at the screenshot



Thanx for reply.

This isn't even the right place to ask for enhancements. However, you are in luck, Calibre's recipe system can already do this. You will need to write a custom recipe that logs you in before retrieving articles. An example of how to do this is here.

Review the New York Times example. You will probably need FireFox and the TamperData plugin to figure this out.
