Hi,

I'd like the recipe for the New York Daily News.

http://www.nydailynews.com

Thanks.

Frank

Hey:
I created this script for The Age newspaper and although it works, it doesn't download the Business articles. I think it's because the business URLs refer to a separate server (business.theage.com.au)whose html cannot handle being viewed in text only mode at the moment however I am unsure how to change the script to read them.
The Sydney Morning Herald script has a similar issue.
Web browsing them gave this cryptic error:

Quote:

HTTP Status 404 - No result defined for action au.com.fairfaxdigital.deliverer.core.webapp.action .DisplayArticleAction and result errorAction

type Status report

message No result defined for action au.com.fairfaxdigital.deliverer.core.webapp.action .DisplayArticleAction and result errorAction

description The requested resource (No result defined for action au.com.fairfaxdigital.deliverer.core.webapp.action .DisplayArticleAction and result errorAction) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.25

I dropped a line to Fairfax to let them know.

I've created some simple custom recipes for the Fairfax online newspapers, The Brisbane Times and WA Today. Unlike The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, neither have text-only pages so they don't come out quite so pretty at present.
Fairfax should give me a job at this rate

I am using a custum recipe I made to a newsparer site www.ledevoir.com

Some articles require subscription and I do have an account. I am not able with calibre to code the correct form and elements to have my news fetched as a subscribed user. Can anyone have a look and help me?

Here is my recipe. It does return an error at the moment but still, what is the correct URL and element names? I have enabled only one RSS feed to speed tests and that feed should have locked and unlocked items.

Thanks in advance!

I also have the same issue with this site:

http://www.protegez-vous.ca/index.html

I have an account and cannot find the form name. They are using some javascript to call the login function. It is the same as the previous site (www.ledevoir.com)

Is there a solution for logging in those sites with calibre? I do have paid subscriptions to these sites.

Hi! I was up to do a recipe... but I found out it was already made!

However, the fun lasted just a few seconds, as once I sync to the device, the recepe from "Clarin" seems to dont fit a 6" screen, which is not certainly a nice thing... how could a recipe be reprogrammed? Cheers!

Try adding no_stylesheets = True

to the recipe

@jpharvey

Use the tamperdata or livehttp firefox extensions to see exactly what communication happens with the server during login and have your recipe duplicate that

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.

This was related just to the size of fonts in article list. Here is updated recipe for Clarin.

@Kovid
Please update the recipe in calibre distribution.

so, how does the google reader recipe work, exactly ? now that i've managed to correctly enter my login / password (

) it's working, but only sort of : it makes me a lovely book with one section title on each page, and that's all. so i have a page which says "Google Reader [dim., 18 janv. 2009]" and nothing else, then a page saying "starred", then "broadcast"... but no actual rss feeds or articles at all. what am i doing wrong here ?
