Static files as recipe?

[drMerry]

Hi,

I am wondering how I could implement the following.

There is a comic site that just updates the image of the day.
So they have seven files ma.png di.png wo.png do.png vr.png za.png and zo.png (the short names for the days of the week in dutch).
I want to make a recipe to download these files. But I do not have info about the date, and I don't know what day it is when the recipe runs.

So I wanted just to keep the files in order (always start with monday).
The recipe though needs a date to add an article.

How should I build such a recipe?

why cant you just use today's date?

from datetime import date
d = date.today().weekday()

Sounds logical.
Thanks.

But then the next problem, there is no rss. As far as I can see, I can only add articles to an existing feed. (either by parsing a website or using a real rss feed).
So I should always start with a basic url right? Or can I just skip the parsing part and add the 7 images in a complete new feed. (Is there a recipe I could use as guide for this?)

I cant recall any recipe that does that, but the idea is simple, just implement parse index and return the appropriate object from it, as documented in the API documentation. Its up to you whether you want one image per section or one section with one image per article.

Sure, was confused by the name, but parse_index() does not recuire a default url as parameter.

Thanks
