PCWorld (eng) update.

[JayKindle]

I noticed a few glitches between the Title of the article and the image or article. And I also took out the ending that says: "Would you recommend this story? YES NO" at the end of each article.

Please let us know when you update your version on your site, so I can stop using my user modified version. Please follow the instructions below to FIND and REPLACE.

I'm not a Pro, but I do like to help.

*****FIND:*****

    remove_tags        = [
                            dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['toolBar','mac_tags','toolBar  btmTools','recommend longRecommend','recommend shortRecommend','textAds']}),
                            dict(name='div', attrs={'id':['sidebar','comments','mac_tags']}),
                            dict(name='ul', attrs={'class':['tools', 'tools clearfix']}),
                            dict(name='li', attrs={'class':'sub'})
                        ]

*****REPLACE WITH:******

    remove_tags        = [
                            dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['toolBar','mac_tags','toolBar  btmTools','recommend longRecommend','recommend shortRecommend','textAds']}),
                            dict(name='div', attrs={'id':['sidebar','comments','mac_tags']}),
                            dict(name='ul', attrs={'class':['tools', 'tools clearfix']}),
                            dict(name='li', attrs={'class':'sub'}),
 	                    dict(name='p', attrs={'id':'userDesire'})
                        ]

P.S. My apologies if there is a official thread for PCWorld (eng), but I could not find one, when I used the Search tool.

UPDATE
July 31, 2013

I just wanted to let you know that PCWorld (en) recipe was fetching repeated articles to it's sections.

So after investigating the problem, I took it upon myself to update it and also share the update among you. Please post a reply here when it's been updated to calibre, this way I can stop using my custom recipe.

Please note that I did not change any of the other code in the recipe except for the rss links that are found here: http://www.pcworld.com/about/RSS.html

Here is the code for the entire recipe:

#!/usr/bin/env  python

__author__      = 'Lorenzo Vigentini'
__copyright__   = '2009, Lorenzo Vigentini <l.vigentini at gmail.com>'
__version__     = 'v1.01'
__date__        = '14, January 2010'
__description__ = 'PC World and Macworld consistently deliver editorial excellence through award-winning content and trusted product reviews.'
