retrieving printer-friendly versions...

[PippoPippini]

Hi

Here is another rule for Financial Times:

Pattern: http://www\.ft\.com(.*)_i_rssPage=(.*)
Rewrite rule: http://www.ft.com$1print=yes.html

Enjoy with the non subscription articles.

Now I'm working with Economist feed.
I put these rules.
Pattern: http://www\.economist\.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?(.*)&fsrc=RSS
Rewrite rule: http://www.economist.com/printedition/PrinterFriendly.cfm?$1

But it doesn't work. Is the "&" a metacharacter ? Some hint ?

Bye

The ? is a metacharacter. You must use \? to get a literal ?

HI DTM.

I modified the pattern so:
Pattern: http://www\.economist\.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm\?(.*)&fsrc=RSS
Rewrite rule: http://www.economist.com/printedition/PrinterFriendly.cfm?$1

but it doesn't work

I tried also in removing the "?", but it doesn't work.

I can't view directly the xml content of the feed, because The Economist use Pheedo in reconstructing links. So I have the suspect that the format of the links is different from the ones linked by Pheedo.

Can someone analyze the Economist feed ?
http://www.economist.com/rss/printed...intedition.xml

Here is another newspaper: Il sole 24 Ore (The major italian financial newspaper)

Pattern: http://www\.ilsole24ore\.com(.*).shtml?(.*)
Rewrite rule: http://www.ilsole24ore.com$1_PRN.shtml

Bye

The Economist print edition gives "403 Economist.com automatic downloading forbidden" (see Update report), so it won't ever work.

Hi Laurens.

I'm a subscriber of the Economist, so probably due to the cookie, I can download the articles. But I always download the "normal" articles instead of printer friendly version.

Now I try canceling my cookie and trying with a "clean" situation.

See after.

Hi Laurens.

I tried with a clean situation, wiping my cookie.

I continue downloading all the articles, but for most of them there is only the title and the highlight, with the message that invite me to log in if I'm a subscriber. The articles are still in the "normal" version, instead of printer friendly version.

Previously (with my credentials in the cookie) I downloaded all articles.

I never received the "403 Economist.com automatic downloading forbidden" message.

Another thing: I can't see my update report. When I select a document and request to view the report, I receive the message "Could not open update report file. (0x5)". Probably with a re-installation I may have all the settings ok ?

Regards

My guess is that they're checking User-Agent header and/or Referer.

Hi all

I made some mistake in the pattern and rewrite rule for Reuters.

This is the right one:
Pattern rule: http://today\.reuters\.com(.*)type=(.*)
Rewrite rule: http://today.reuters.com/misc/PrinterFriendlyPopup.aspx?type=$2

Hi all.

Starting from the beginning of November, Bloomberg stopped its RSS feeds service.

Now the articles can not be downloaded automatically via Sunrise.

Hoping they change the situation.

Regards.

For example, Dr Z's feed is at http://rss.cnn.com/rss/si_dr_z.rss
All of the articles off it start with http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/dr_z*

and on the first page of each is a link to a single-page printer friendly version that begins http://si.printthis.clickability.com/*

How in the world do I get Sunrise to get that version?

Has anyone been able solve this one yet? I'm trying to get the Austin American Statesman (statesman.com) and it seems to have the same clickability type of redirection.

I've been able to figure out everything except how to get the urlID (eg. &urlID=20433337) which is probably embedded somewhere in the original source page.

Alternatively, if the clickability issue cannot be solved, how can I move all of the banner stuff from the top of the page, before the article, to the bottom? When reading in Plucker on the palm, I have to scroll down several pages of links to other pages before I can actually read the article.

Hi

Reuters' feed changed some time ago.

Now I tried with this pattern rule
http://www\.reuters\.com(.*)id(.*)\?feedType=RSS
and this rewrite rule
http://www.reuters.com/articlePrint?articleId=$2

But it doesn't work.

Any hint ?

I only grab the "Oddly Enough" feed, but it still works using:
http://today\.reuters\.com(.*)type=(.*)

With the rewrite:
http://today.reuters.com/misc/PrinterFriendlyPopup.aspx?type=$2

I can't imagine why they wouldn't switch all their feeds.

Are you sure ?

From the RSS page, it seems that also the "Oddly Enough" feed has changed with the new format.

Anyway, I'm interested in the "normal" news feed like "Top News" or "Business".

Yes, I read it every day. Unless Sunrise has the ability to make articles up, it still functions as it has been.

[HeffeD]

Well, I'm at a loss... Does the Top News category also follow this new format? Just as a quick test, I grabbed the Top News RSS using the previous mentioned setup and it downloads just fine. Maybe you have something else going on?
