Is there a recipe for all the articles that do not appear in the print edition of the Economist? If not, can someone create one?

Hi,

I'm attaching a zipped file that contains a recipe for "Editor and Publisher" a site that presents news about newspaper publishing and journalism.

Enjoy...

I want to make a recipe for http://szmobil.sueddeutsche.de/ and started with this code:

from calibre.web.feeds.recipes import BasicNewsRecipe

class AdvancedUserRecipe1263738133(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'S\xfcddeutsche Zeitung'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
description = 'Mobile Ausgabe'
language = 'de'

needs_subscription = True

def get_browser(self):
br = BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser()
if self.username is not None and self.password is not None:
br.open('http://szmobil.sueddeutsche.de/login.php')
br.select_form(nr=0)
br['username'] = self.username
br['password'] = self.password
br.submit()
return br

feeds = [
(u'Sueddeutsche Zeitung', u'http://szmobil.sueddeutsche.de/index.php')
]
and got the complete html-code of the website on the web-page I entered as feed.

Seems that I aditionally have to process the html-code somehow. But at the moment I don't have any idea which classes and methods I have to use for that. Please help!

Thanks,
Gero

Works like a charm. It does not save much in time, but I do not think their is a workaround for that. But the file size is much smaller, which my reader likes much better.

Could someone make a recipe for http://www.ionline.pt/conteudos/rss.html , please?
For some reason, Calibre can't make anything from those xml files.

Thank you.

Many Thanks to evanmaastrigt for the answer to my first post. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread. I didn't realize immediately that this here is the right one.
The built in recipe for Sueddeutsche Zeitung works great, I know. The reason for this request is that the built in recipe is for the free contents of SZ and not for the ePaper (1:1 copy of the newspaper). Some parts of the newspaper are missing in the free parts, e.g. things called "Meinungsseite" or "Seite drei". These contents are my favorites in the paper edition.

Unzip the the files into a directory.

Open Calibre
Drop down arrow next to Fetch news
Add custom news source
Load recipe from file (select nationalreviewonline.recipe)

I just followed these steps to verify things.

Good Luck
