Am I missing something? The above two recipes were supposed to be in 0.6.41, according to the changelog. I am now using 0.6.43 and they don't seem to appear in the Fetch News Dialog . Any ideas?

Oops, I made a mistake including the Greek recipes, will be fixed in 0.6.44

Hello everybody,

I've addressed the following issue several times already, but I have the feeling that I am being ignored on purpose. If so, please excuse me and point out where my mistake is.
But I've been waiting for a help with Google Reader recipe for several weeks now.
I will repeat my question again here:

Is it possible to modify default google reader recipe, already available in calibre, in such a way that it will download only starred items?

I would really appreciate if somebody helps me with this one.

[kovidgoyal]

Since the person who wrote the Google reader recipe doesn't hang out here anymore, you're unlikely to get an answer. But as I recall, there were two recipes one which downloaded only starred articles and one which downloaded all unread items.

[Dereks]

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, I've searched through the relevant topics on the forum. If I understood correctly, the first one downloads starred items only if there are no any tags used. unfortunately that's not the case with me, as I have quite a few folders/tags. The second one basically modified the first recipe, only instead of downloading all the most recent posts, from each folder, it downloads all unread items.

Hello everyone.

I've been trying to setup a Custom News Source for the KC Star (local newspaper)using the following RSS feed. http://www.kansascity.com/105/index.xml

Calibre fetches the data but it seems to contain 2 copies of the same story one that is easily read and the other that has a lot of formatting in it. I also get the Denver Post from the available Recipes and it is formatted very nice. How do I get the KC Star to look like the Denver Post?

Thanks
John

As I dont use Google Reader, I'm not familiar enough with the API to help, sorry.

For Pauliehk

My first couple of attempts at modifying the existing recipe failed, but I am pretty new to this. The key to making it work seems to be to change the soup section by replacing:

soup = self.index_to_soup('http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian')
with
soup = self.index_to_soup('http://www.guardian.co.uk/theobserver')

I also changed the feeds section to include the observer rss feeds and
the img source in the soup section to

img = soup.find( 'img',attrs ={'alt':'Observer digital edition'})

I'm sure there is some fine tuning needed but its a start.

Many thanks for the quick response! And well done (and many many thanks) for the great work you are doing .

Hi,

If anyone has time, I think instructables.com is a good candidate for a custom recipe. I attempted to make my own recipe(s) but it's above my head. Their feeds don't have full content, and occasionally the site will request that a user logs in.

Very interested in getting Featured and Popular posts to work:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/instructables/featured
http://feeds.feedburner.com/instructables/popular

(But having all categories would also be great)
* Art
* Craft
* Food
* Games
* Green
* Home
* Kids
* Life
* Music
* Offbeat
* Outdoors
* Pets
* Photo
* Ride
* Science
* Tech

Have a great day!

Recipe for Diario Vasco:

[jrollmorton]

A newbie, here. I've spent some time trying to write a recipe for my favourite Canadian journal, The Walrus: http://www.walrusmagazine.com

Following the calibre user guide, I've written recipes to generate the RSS feed from the magazine, which links to full articles elsewhere on the website. I've tried accessing the print version of the articles, but get loads of crud and ads and only page one of the multi-page articles.

I'm having fun trying this, but not having satisfactory success. Can anyone help me to get at least the full print version of these articles? Then I can try getting out the crud by modifying the CSS or whatever.

Many thanks!

It could be that this matter has already been addressed (the thread is incredibly large so I couldn't check it in its entirety, but I have a question not concerning a specific source to make a recipe from, but a "pattern recipe" for a certain service provider (in this case, Blogger). I tend to navigate through various Blogger blogs, mainly of my friends, who have not edited or changed the RSS code, simply because they don't know how. Could it be possible to make a "pattern recipe" for all Blogger-powered blogs? Or eventually for other service providers like Wordpress or Blog.com?

Thanks in advance. This program is worth much more than the 10 dollars i managed to tip in. Keep up the good work ^^
