Recipe Request for World Magazine

[fbrian]

Hi, I am a guy who has never done programing, and the recipes just confuse me when I try to create one. I am in Christian Ministry and would like to have the newsfeed from World Magazine downloaded by Calibre to send to my Kindle 3G. Would anyone be willing to try and create one.

I did the simple create your own but it gives a lot of excess material and all the comments left by visitors are downloaded too. All I want are the articles.

The feed address is www.worldmag.com/rss/

If anyone is willing I'll give more information.

Thanks,
Brian

I too would appreciate any help making a recipe for this magazine.

OK, I took a stab at it and what I have so far works. I apologize, I have not had time to find the proper place to post this or look into the procedure for contributing. I will post the code here for the OP. You can cut and paste it into a custom news source under the advanced mode.

import string, re
from calibre import strftime
from calibre.web.feeds.recipes import BasicNewsRecipe
from calibre.ebooks.BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup

class WorldMag(BasicNewsRecipe):

    title       = 'World Magazine'
    __author__  = 'Saultpastor (a Modification of The New York Times by Kovid Goyal)'
    description = 'World News from a Christian Perspective'
    timefmt = ' [%a, %d %b, %Y]'
    cover_url = 'http://www.worldmag.com/images/world_logo.gif'
    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://www.worldmag.com/cs/')
            br.select_form(name='maglogin')
            br['username']   = self.username
            br['password'] = self.password
            br.submit()
        return br

    feeds          = [(u'Worldmag', u'https://www.worldmag.com/rss/')]

    def print_version(self, url):
        return url.replace('http://www.worldmag.com/articles/', 'http://www.worldmag.com/printer.cfm?id=')

I will keep working at it...

Posting recipes here when they are ready for inclusion is fine, just let me know when you think the recipe is ready.
