Volkskrant / Dutch news feed

[Reader2]

For the dutch readers some code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
class AdvancedUserRecipe1245357002(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Volkskrant'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True

feeds = [(u'laatstenieuws',u'http://feeds.volkskrant.nl/laatstenieuws/'),(u'nederland',u'http://feeds.volkskrant.nl/nederland/'),(u'economie',u'http://feeds.volkskrant.nl/economie/'),(u'kunst',u'http://feeds.volkskrant.nl/kunst/'),(u'wetenschap',u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/DeVolkskrantWetenschap/'),(u'techniek',u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/vkmedia/'),
]

remove_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['mainItems','subItems','menuBarRight','zoek']}),dict(name='div', attrs={'id':['header','domeinenmenu','menuWrapper','zoek','prin tversie']})]
remove_tags_after = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'article_tools'})]

def print_version(self, url):
return url+'?service=Print'
# just for what it is, the "?service=Print" does not work - seems has to pass twice or someting like that - who can help me out?

Your problem is that all rss feeds for that news site are feedburner which means that all url's to articles are aliases to the original url's on the site. That is why simple url replace does not work.

For example an url to the article located here:

http://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/article1246922.ece/Obama_Iran_moet_geweld_afzweren

Is presenter in the rss feed in the default tag "link" as this:

http://feeds.volkskrant.nl/~r/laatstenieuws/~3/rioZRPmRlxU/Obama_Iran_moet_geweld_afzweren

The original url is located in separate tag "feedburnerrigLink", however I do not know how to extract that. For this you will have to consult Kovid.

this is an example of how this might work:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1245529539(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'Volksran'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100

    feeds          = [(u'latest news', u'http://feeds.volkskrant.nl/laatstenieuws/')]

    def get_article_url(self, article):
        #this does not work
        artl =  article.get('feedburner:origLink', None)
        return artl

    def print_version(self, url):
        return url.replace('?source=rss','?service=Print')

Here's what you need

 def get_article_url(self, article):
        return article.get('feedburner_origlink', article.get('guid', article.get('link')))

THX again. I just gave it a try - and did manage it on the dirty way. Thx for the "feedburner" hint, this will do for more sites.
Mmm, what an active forum this is. Great
