Here is my take on SMH website:

[kovidgoyal]

@AprilHare: Fixed in next release.

[Malakai]

is there anyway to modify the downloaded news feed so that the tags are removed and it only shows News as the tag?

[kovidgoyal]

Not at this time.

Occurs in Vista32 and XP at least the past two days.

Hi,

I updated the "The Irish Times" receipe as the rss feed has changed to use feed portal, so the receipe was pulling down alot more than it needed to. Find attached the new recipe, it uses a regex expression to pull the correct url out of the article's summary.

Thanks
(keep up the good work)

@rkinsella: Thanks
@schwerl: Should be fixed in 0.6.6

[scwehrl]

Kovid, again, and as always, thank you for this software and for keeping one step ahead of others who break their html, xml, code, etc, etc

[kovidgoyal]

Actually this time, I was the one who broke things But, thanks

I've tried loading the RSS address into a custom news source, but all I get is a title page...

Thanks!

Surely someone can help me with this?

Here is one I use for the Volkskrant (Dutch newspaper) which works well:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1249039563(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'De Volkskrant'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    no_stylesheets = True
    keep_only_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'leftColumnArticle'}) ]
    remove_tags    = [
        dict(name='div',attrs={'class':'article_tools'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'article_tools'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'class':'articletools'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'articletools'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'myOverlay'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'trackback'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'googleBanner'}),
        dict(name='div',attrs={'id':'article_headlines'}),
        ]
    extra_css      = '''
                        body{font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:small;}
                        h1{font-size:large;}
                     '''

    feeds          = [(u'Laatste Nieuws', u'http://volkskrant.nl/rss/laatstenieuws.rss'), (u'Binnenlands nieuws', u'http://volkskrant.nl/rss/nederland.rss'), (u'Buitenlands nieuws', u'http://volkskrant.nl/rss/internationaal.rss'), (u'Economisch nieuws', u'http://volkskrant.nl/rss/economie.rss'), (u'Sportnieuws', u'http://volkskrant.nl/rss/sport.rss'), (u'Kunstnieuws', u'http://volkskrant.nl/rss/kunst.rss'), (u'Wetenschapsnieuws', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/DeVolkskrantWetenschap'), (u'Technologienieuws', u'http://feeds.feedburner.com/vkmedia')]

Here goes:

I'm newish to this, so please let me know if I've missed obvious information.

I am currently an Economist subscriber, have been for years. So I want to download the Economist info (each issue entire, if possible), for my new Kindle 2. I see a script that downloads some Economist info, and it works ok for me. How do I download the whole thing, as a legitimate subscriber?

[kovidgoyal]

The Economist recipe should be downloading the entire magazine (economist.com decided a few months ago to make their entire magazine available for free online)

[jament]

Calibre, of course, is amazing.

The Economist recipe is fantastic and the display on the Sony 505 is outstanding. Great work.
