Any chance of philly.com?

[GRiker]

Gomes,
There are RSS feeds in each section of philly.com. Follow the directions to create a custom feed, then ask for assistance if you get stuck. It's actually pretty simple.

I'm having trouble parsing my local newspaper feed, it's able to retrieve the articles but when I open the epub each article page is blank.

In the log it shows that once it gets to "parsing all content..." all the referenced files aren't found.
ex "Referenced file 'feed_0/article_23/PrintArticle.aspx%3fe%3d1715420' not found" and so on for each article. I've attached the log if that's more helpful.

Also this is what I have for the recipe:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1251250978(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Intelligencer'
oldest_article = 7
no_stylesheets = True
max_articles_per_feed = 100

feeds = [(u'Recent Local News', u'http://www.intelligencer.ca/rss')]

def print_version(self, url):
turl = url.replace('ArticleDisplay', 'PrintArticle')
return turl

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

edit: I was able to fix the problem by adding in the following:
keep_only_tags = [dict(id=['ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_FormView1'])]

[kiklop74]

The problem is within calibre. For some unknown reason the span tag that contains entire article is emptied of content and content is moved below span tag on the same level.

This is the recipe that works well:

Hi, I'm having trouble with my recipe for the leading Swiss newspaper "Le Temps" (http://www.letemps.ch). The recipe is as follows:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1243078936(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'Le Temps'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    no_stylesheets = True
    remove_tags    = [dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'footer'})]
    remove_tags    = [dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'box links'})]
    remove_tags    = [dict(name='script')]
    extra_css      = '.heading {font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; margin: 20px 0;} \n h2 {font-size: 24px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 14px;} \n .author {font-size: 11px; margin: 0 0 5px 0;} \n .lead {font-weight: 700; margin: 10px 0;} \n p {margin: 0 0 10px 0;}'

If I try to download it, I get this error message:

What am I doing wrong?

I submitted a ticket about it, http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/2683, but unfortunately I do not understand the reply.

[kiklop74]

In your recipe you have extra_css like this:

  extra_css = ' <css stuff> \n <css stuff> '

Note the bolded end of line character. What Kovid is telling you is that you can not have end of line character in extra_css. Remove all of those and you will be fine.

[TMF]

Kiklop74, thanks! But although I've now removed these newlines from the recipe, producing this line:

extra_css = '.heading {font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; margin: 20px 0;} h2 {font-size: 24px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 14px;} .author {font-size: 11px; margin: 0 0 5px 0;} .lead {font-weight: 700; margin: 10px 0;} p {margin: 0 0 10px 0;}'

I still get the same error message.

[kovidgoyal]

Add the following to the top of the recipe

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe
