Custom recipes (archive, read-only)

[Magic]

Hi everyone,

Is there any chance for getting any of these ??

polityka.pl
wyborcza.pl
przekroj.pl
dziennik.pl

It looks like there's not much Polish content available in calibre right now, so I believe quite a few people would be very grateful for that- including me -

thank you anyway

I read ebooks from a 10 foot interface. The Dilbert comic strip is a bit too small for me. Here's a modified version of the Dilbert recipe that grabs larger images.

dwanthny: Unfortunately, this does not work. Some URL Strings are still not replaced

kiklop74: your recipe works, thanks! Was one of the HTML elements in the page causing the error? I see that you removed some tags.

I tried to create RSS feed for one blog, but it does not work properly. Unfortunately, I do not know programming, so I do not know how to use the advanced feature and change the code.

Can anyone help me?

URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/theelearningcoach

[mishicka]

My bad - I wrote a wrong URL, with this one, it works fine. Thanks.

It looks like Ars has changed their feed address, could someone update it by chance? the new address is http://arstechnica.com/index.rssx

thanks

Hi,

Really enjoy the software. Quick question...does the instapaper recipe use HTTPS to send my password? Is the code available to view?

I searched around about a bit, maybe I missed it, but couldn't find the source code for the recipe.

Thx...

Recipe code is in the \resources\recipes directory of wherever calibre is installed.

All the feeds in the recipe are still working. What is the problem that you experience?

Yes of course. Look at {Calibre install folder}\resources\recipes

Thanks for taking the time. I have Hebrew fonts working on the Kindle. Justification is off sometimes but it is usable.

New recipe for Sueddeutche Zeitung:

[kovidgoyal]

@Darko: Is this a replacement for the existing Sueddeutsche recipe in calibre?

[kiklop74]

No, this recipe is for payed access content on that website.

Could some one help me create a custom recipe for Knowledge@Whatron? I used their RSS feeds (http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/rss/) with Calibre, but I only got the summaries. Thanks!
