The difference is that there's an extra 'http://www' in the bad one it would seem...

Thanks in advance for any help!

So, I was looking for script to get the feed from MSDN Magazine.

FEED: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/maga...aspx?z=z&iss=1
SITE: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/default.aspx

I have tried a few scripts but nothing seems to work. If anyone could help out I would appreciate it. Also if there is a great source for documentation explaining the calibre python library I would appreciate it.

New recipe for MSDN magazine in english:

I keep getting a blank table of contents for La Prensa - Nicaragua.
The New York Times - non member - errors out. I think someone already mentioned this.

Thank you for your time and efforts.

New York times for non-members is not being used any longer. Having that one in the list implicates you are using older version of calibre. Update to the latest version of calibre to get updated recipe for La Prensa. I just tried it again and it works fine.

Thanks for the MSDN recipe. Works like a champ!

So, I was looking to build a recipe for NY Magazine - I've tried building my own, but my python/beautiful soup skills are not so great...

the toc is here: http://nymag.com/includes/tableofcontents.htm but it gets redirected to a different page each week with the format: http://nymag.com/nymag/toc/YYYYMMDD/ (where DD is the next monday...)

I've managed to strip the page down to what I need, but I don't understand how to fetch the articles, etc...

Basically:

remove_tags_before = dict(id='magazine-toc')
remove_tags_after  = dict(attrs={'class':['attention']})
remove_tags = [dict(attrs={'class':['cover']}),
                dict(name=['h2'])]

It leave with a page where the structure of an article is:

<h5><a href="link_to_article">article title</a></h5>
<p>article blurb</p>

(but no enclosing div or anything) - So I'm unsure how to link the article title to the key, link, etc

... I then want to replace the article url to go to the print version, which is basically:

http://www.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=ARTICLE-TITLE&expire=&urlID=STRANGE-NUMBER&fb=Y&url=ARTICLE-URL

I can't figure out where the STRANGE-NUMBER is coming from in the article page either....


Hope this makes sense - Thanks for your help
