Irish Times & Irish Independent

dmac · 01-06-2023, 03:40 PM

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could update the Irish Times & Irish Independent recipes please.

Right now they are full of navagation links, and it would be so great if both those sites recipes would work correctly.

It would be great if it was more readable, as it keeps grabing the nav menu before and after each article.

Many thanks.

Thank you so much Kovid. independent is perfect.

I do get the following error on the Irirsh Times recipe:

{'error_message': 'Login failed', 'error_number': '5'}

Account credentials are correct. Maybe it's just temporary on the site.

Tahnk you.

Upcoming change about sending MOBI documents to Kindle library

Dear Kindle Customer,

Thank you for using the Send to Kindle service to send personal documents to your Kindle library. We noticed that the following document(s) sent by you at 08:43 AM on Sun, Jan 08, 2023 GMT are in MOBI (.mobi, .azw) formats:
* News.mobi

We wanted to let you know that Send to Kindle will soon remove the ability to send MOBI (.mobi, .azw) files to your Kindle library. Any MOBI files already in your library will not be affected by this change. MOBI is an older file format and won’t support the newest Kindle features for documents. Any existing MOBI files that you want to read with our most up-to-date features for documents will need to be re-sent in a compatible format.

Compatible formats now include EPUB (.epub), which you can send to your library using the new Send to Kindle for Web, the free Kindle app. We will be adding EPUB support to the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac.

If you have any questions, please visit our help page or contact our Customer Service team.

Regards,
Amazon Kindle Support

thank you.

Hi @kovidgoyal,
I was wondering if you could be so kind, as to update the Irish Times script slightly to have add the categories. Currently the script only has "All Articles", and everything is dumped in there. Would be great to have article categories, like News, Sport, Politics etc.

Thanks so much.

dmac · 04-25-2023, 03:27 PM

Hi, Irish Times seems to be broken, and pulling in a lot of unneeded page elements. Also the news categories are gone.

Hopefully you can fix it.

Also noticed that Irish Independent is also broken too.
Thank you.

Fixed. I want you to check Irish times again as its a login based recipe. Just use the built in recipe, its updated.

Hi mate, sorry for the late reply, but was away on work.

Thank you so much.

For the Irish Independant is working great now. Thank you.
I also see some of the rss feeds changed on the site, but two are missing.
Can you add in the following to the script please:

(u'Frontpage News', u'http://www.independent.ie/rss'),
(u'World News', u'http://www.independent.ie/world-news/rss'),

For the Irish Times, unfortunately this is not working.
I have DM'd you some details in which you can test against an account.

Thank you.

Fixed Irish times, added World News feed to Independent.

dmac · 05-06-2023, 05:40 AM

Thank you.
Unfortunately the Irish Independant in-article isnt displaying correctly.
Seems to be showing logo images pushing the text out.

In the Irish Times, is it possible to have sections/feeds, instead of all showing in "all articles"

Thank you so much.

unkn0wn · 05-07-2023, 01:28 AM

I created another feeds based recipe for Irish Times to get sections & also made some changes to Independent.

dmac · 05-07-2023, 09:49 AM

Thanks unkn0wn,
Appreciate that!

The Irish Independant is working perfectly now. thank you.

On the Irish Times, some of it's articles are pay-only and require a login.
I do subscribe to it.

Looking at the original Irish Times script, instead of supplying the main page url:
self.index_to_soup('https://www.irishtimes.com/')

Would it be possibly be split it, and supply the section urls instead e.g.:

https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/
https://www.irishtimes.com/politics/
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/
https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/

etc...

Would that work for section?

By the way, this is a nice API service called "screenshot machine".
It takes a screenshot of websites and return an image on a url call.
I use it for the daily newpapers on calibre. I just supply my own API key in the script (in custom calibre scripts.) Might be something to add to some of your scripts. Free usage too.

Thank you.
