Spanish diary El Mundo

[AprilHare]

I created a script for The Australian newspaper (the only national daily broadsheet for Australia besides the Australian Financial Review) based on the one for The Daily Telegraph. It downloads OK however if someone could have a look at (it produces oversized LRFs)..

By size you mean file size or number of pages? If it's file size it will likely be because of images, you can use preprocess_html to remove the offending images.

Kovid,

I noticed that you remove --base-font-size option from all my recipes. Why?

I do not like default font size in LRF which is 12pt because it is too big.

Since changing font sizes on the reader with recipes often leads to a crash and reboot, it's better to err on the side of being too large than too small. Also, eventually the recipe system will allow the user to specify a base font size for all downloaded recipes, at which time these custom options will cause problems.

Hi all, I'm working on setting up these feeds for full text (print versions):

New zealand news site Stuff http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/topstories.xml

The Stuff site seems simple :
def print_version(self, url):
return url.replace('http://www.stuff.co.nz/', 'http://www.stuff.co.nz/print/')
However when I run it the EPUB result appears to be the full HTML version (which the sony doesn't like) and not the print version.

What should be changed for it to work?

class AdvancedUserRecipe1233732796(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Stuff.co.nz'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100

feeds = [(u'top stories', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/topstories.xml'), (u'Worldnews', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/worldnews.xml'), (u'Music', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/music.xml'), (u'Llifestyle', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/lifestyle.xml'), (u'Sport', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/sport.xml')]
def print_version(self, url):
return url.replace('http://www.stuff.co.nz/', 'http://www.stuff.co.nz/print/')

I have a similar issue with the CIO new zealand site http://cio.co.nz/rss/cio.xml
Also with this one, the "printer friendly" has fixed line length - is there python code to remove this?

Gamespot seems simple, but I"m not sure what the right code is as "replace" doesn't seem appropriate - the print version just has "print=1" at the end of the URL.

Try with this in print_version:

 def print_version(self, url):
      raw_article, sep, unneeded = url.partition('?')
      return raw_article.replace('http://www.stuff.co.nz/', 'http://www.stuff.co.nz/print/')

Hi thanks for the quick reply

the code I'm using now is
class AdvancedUserRecipe1255817232(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Stu4543fwwwwf.co.nz'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True
feeds = [(u'top stories', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/topstories.xml'), (u'Worldnews', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/worldnews.xml'), (u'Music', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/music.xml'), (u'Llifestyle', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/lifestyle.xml'), (u'Sport', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/sport.xml')]
def print_version(self, url):
raw_article, sep, unneeded = url.partition('?')
return raw_article.replace('http://www.stuff.co.nz/', 'http://www.stuff.co.nz/print/')

It still seems to be saving the full articles (which tend to crash the reader) instead of the print versions though..
