Custom recipes (archive, read-only)

[f1doc]

Hello everyone. I'm new to this fabulous program. I'm an official paid subscriber to the New England Journal of Medicine. I made a recipe for Calibre to pick up each week's issue, using the RSS feed. This works fine . . . EXCEPT that the links to the articles go to an article summary, and not the full text. How can I tweak the recipe to have calibre download the full text and not just the article summary?

If necessary I can provide my details so this can be tested.

Thanks SO much for this great program!

I added the print_version for the full version of the articles, but now i need to enter my username and password corresponding to my subscription, in order to access the articles that are only available to subscribers. where do i do this in the recipe? what are the necessary python commands?

thanks in advance

Hi kiklop!

I've read over this lots of times, and i admit it's a bit over my head. i can see that i need to add the log in stuff, but honestly, i'm not quite tech-savvy enough for this. i'm an anesthetist and emergency doctor, so i'm not stupid, but this stuff DOES get complicated

so any advice you can give me, stuff i can almost copy/paste, would be SO appreciated.

thanks again!

Add this to your recipe and it should work:

    needs_subscription   = True    

    def get_browser(self):
        br = BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser()
        if self.username is not None and self.password is not None:
            br.open('http://content.nejm.org/cgi/login?uri=%2F')
            br.select_form(nr=0)
            br['username'] = self.username
            br['code'    ] = self.password
            br.submit()
        return br

Thanks kiklop, but this doesnt do the trick. oh well! thanks for the work and time - it would be great to get this to work, but seems rather difficult!

Create recipe in calibre in standard way, add all the feeds to that recipe and than click on advanced button.

Add this code:

    encoding              = 'cp1252'

    keep_only_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'article clearfix'}) ]

    def print_version(self, url):
        return url + '?service=Print'

First off, Calibre is amazing - many thanks to kovidgoyal and all who've helped with it.

It's worked pretty much fine for most of what I've wanted to do with it so far (minor layout issues here and there, nothing major), but the RSS feed for Wired seems broken. It took 80 minutes (!) to come down, and then when opened each article only shows a login prompt and the comments. I wouldn't know where to start with patching the python code or whatever it is. I don't suppose some kind soul could point me in the direction of a fixed recipe thing, or tell me how to amend the one I've got?

Many thanks again.

That is Kovid's recipe. Open a ticket for that in calibre's trac (calibre.kovidgoyal.net).

I'm too occupied with my daily job right now to do anything else. It will stay that way for some time.

Just want to verify if I'm the only having a problem with Scientific America Recipe on my PRS-505 (causes reboot in .LRF format)

Add Wired Mag to that as well..
