Thanks again for the SJ Mercury News, but the recipe doesn't have the Sports.
Is it hard to add that to the recipe?

Can I put in a request for a recipe for ESPN - that doesn't require a login? I have made a custom one, but it seems to sit forever trying to download it, so something must be wrong.

class AdvancedUserRecipe1255551050(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'ESPN'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100

feeds = [(u'Top Stories', u'feed://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/news'), (u'NFL', u'feed://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/nfl/news'), (u'NBA', u'feed://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/nba/news'), (u'College Football', u'feed://sports.espn.go.com/espn/rss/ncf/news')]


That is my recipe. I don't know why it tries for 10-15 minutes before it gets anything, but if there are errors or a whole new recipe would be better, that'd be great. Thanks.

Here is my contribution to Calibre and its news gathering system.
Its a recipe for the dutch newspaper Trouw. It contains ALL the RSS feeds so if you're not interested in certain topics just comment those feeds out.
Further there is one problem with the coverpage. It gets the main picture but ebook-viewer makes it really wide and my PRS505 doesn't display it

Regards,

Joop

Two new recipes for two respected blogs about financial information and articles:

Naked Capitalism
and
The Daily Reckoning - US edition

Hi,
I am new here and could not find any recipe for swedish newspapers. So I created a basic one for a local paper called Östgöta Correspondenten a.k.a. Corren, see attached file. It's my first try so I am sure it can be improved.

I have also tried to do recipes for major swedish papers like dn.se and svd.se but have failed so far. dn.se uses some fancy scripting to protect the printed version (link to printing is called "Skriv ut"). svd.se uses the same html-source for both screen and printing but applies a different CSS for printing.

If anyone would care to help, the rss-feeds are at bottom left at www.dn.se and at in left column a little down from the top at http://www.svd.se/special/svdseinfo/artikel_128220.svd for svd (top news is "SvD senaste nytt").

Anyway, Calibre is a very nice program so a big thank you to Kovid Goyal!

[kovidgoyal]

For svd.se you can just use the htmland provide your own CSS via extra_css

For the other I'd suggest looking at the javascript, the print link is probably in there. You can use a regualr expression to extract it.
