Recipes need update

[Mixx]

Hi,

I trying out a number of recipes and wonder if we should have a sticky to identify those recipes that do not work properly anymore and need an update.

I'd like to add

Business Week
CIO (CIO Magazin)
Inquirer.net (The Inquirer)

My hope is that fellow forum readers with the right skills might want to fix one or two, if their time permits.

We could even have a voting list to see which are (or rather would be) the most popular ones.

Regards, Mixx

There are two recipes for Business Week.
One of them over-cuts articles... wiith this I mean that some articles do "show" and they show "perfect"... while others simply are missing (the article, not the item list on the menu). In fact, the recipe generates a blank page for those articles, with an hyperlink to the missing page, and the hyperlink is correct.
The other one (the second recipe for business week) shows all the articles, but all of them with lots of extra information (webpage navigation menus, and so on).

With respect to CIO. I use the provided recipe, and it works PERFECT. The only "but" I can add is that it is not a recipe for the CIO magazine, but for the RSS feed that the site provides with daily news.

I don't use the Inquirer.

Best regards.

I have a recipe for CIO Magazine. (please find it enclosed, and use it or not at your own risk)

My knowledge about Python, Beautiful soup, Mechanize or CSS is null.
I've only tested it from my windows environment. (No Unix, Mac or others).
I've only tested it on the last issue.
But it worked. (and is documented in "perfect Spanglish" for future reviews)

It "oficially" retrieves the last issue when launched.

Best regards.

Regarding Business week, here is what I have done:

I have reviewed the business week recipe (the one from Kovid Goyal and Darko Miletic, which is the one that works)

It fails because business week is not consistent about how it writes its pages.

I've had to change two thigs:

At line 44:
keep_only_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'id':['story-body','storyBody]})]

for
keep_only_tags = [dict(name='div', attrs={'id':['story-body','storyBody','article_body','articleBody']})]


some of its pages have the main article under "StoryBody" DIV, but others are under "article_body" DIV (that is why they don't work)

At line 92:
rurl = url.replace('http://www.businessweek.com/','http://www.businessweek.com/print/')
for
if '/magazine' in url:
rurl = url.replace('http://www.businessweek.com/','http://www.businessweek.com/printer/')
else:
rurl = url.replace('http://www.businessweek.com/','http://www.businessweek.com/print/')

Some of its articles have a printer page whose name is built in a different way

This way, the recipe continues to have some extra data (that needs to be deleted) but at least works.

Hope that someone can make a better correction. For the moment I attach my changes just in case someone may find them useful.

Best regards.

I've had to make another change.

in print_version, I have changed
if '/news/' in url or '/blog/ in url':
for
if '/news/' in url or '/blog/' in url:

This was an error in the original recipe (or in my copy).

Now it seems to be working well.

Best regards

inquirer recipe is attached.

Oh, terrific, thank you very much!

Thanxx, Mixx

PS: I still think that it would be a good idea to have a place to flag the recipes that have an issue.
