Including "Date" in the title of a news download

mkha98 · 08-23-2011, 07:19 AM

It is nice that the date for each periodical comes in the metadata information. However, the date doesn't come into my Nook STR. Thus, If I have 5 issues of a periodical on my device, I can't tell which is from today and which is from 5 days ago.

How can I have the "Date" appended to the title of the periodical automatically. I looked around the forum and saw that date does come on the file - but I only get it in my metadata fields, not in my title. The title is where I need it.

I have this issue with the New York Times feed, but I'm sure that other feeds have similar issues.

Thank you all in advance.

Remove this line from the New York Times recipe:

timefmt = ''

Check out this sticky post for help doing it.
