I can't get print version, though it should be easy

[slex]

This is the full article:

http://www.investor.bg/news/article/112881/332.html

And this is the print version:

http://www.investor.bg/news/printer/112881/332.html

From the recipe guide it looks like I should copy the BBC example for the print version and I add to the recipe the following:

def print_version(self, url):
        return url.replace('http://www.investor.bg/news/article/', 'http://www.investor.bg/news/printer/')

But I still get the full version, not the print version.

Can anyone give an advice?

I looked at this feed:
http://rss.investor.bg/c/33288/f/564906/index.rss
That feed does not give a url in the form of
http://www.investor.bg/news/article/112881/332.html like you are expecting.

It looks like this:
http://rss.investor.bg/c/33288/f/564...ml/story01.htm
In the future, you might want to post the full recipe. I had to guess about where your feed was, so if I guessed wrong, try this:

    def print_version(self, url):
        newurl = url.replace('http://www.investor.bg/news/article/', 'http://www.investor.bg/news/printer/')
        print 'The original url is: ', url
        print 'The new url is: ', newurl
        return newurl

Then look at the output to make sure your links are being created correctly.

Hello Starson17,

it looks like the url in the feed is really different from the one after the article is opened.

While probably it is possible to convert the feed url to the print url, as the article identifying elements are present in both, e.g. here:

http://rss.investor.bg/c/33288/f/564906/s/12e54176/l/0L0Sinvestor0Bbg0Cnews0Carticle0C1129450C3370Bhtml/story01.htm

http://www.investor.bg/news/printer/112945/337.html

I don't think that I can do the slicing and reshufling of the urls at this point. I find it easier to edit the content of the full articles and more or less get only the content I want.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

I don't use the print version option much, either. Often it's missing larger photos or something else, and I find it just as easy to extract the article content from the full article page. Whatever works - there's lots of options.
