Create more sections other than "All articles"

[JeffreyZhao]

Hi guys,

I'm working on an custom recipes. I simply defined "parse_index" method and returns the correct data, but I found all the articles now are under "All articles" section when it's open in my Kindle Paperwhite.

Can I create more sections and assign articles to them?

Of course, but you need to post your recipe here.

Thanks, it's just very simple one. I've created a test recipe.

class TestRecipe(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title = u'Test'
    auto_cleanup = True
    no_stylesheets = True
    publication_type = 'magazine'
    
    def parse_index(self):
        article_list = []
        article_list.append({ 'title' : 'Article 1', 'url' : 'http://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2013/06/07/distributed-systems-reading-list/' });
        article_list.append({ 'title' : 'Article 2', 'url' : 'http://lostechies.com/jimmybogard/2011/05/27/distributed-computing-fallacies-and-rest/' });
                
        return [('Default', article_list)]

Can I put two articles into different sections?

Yup. Here's what your sample's return statement might look like with two sections:

return [('Section One', article_list_one), ('Section Two', article_list_two)]

Thanks, that's just what I need. It looks like the section name is ignored when there's only one section, is it?
