Request for FlightGlobal and/or Aviation Week Recipe Help

[Skinz]

Hi,

I've been playing with Calibre on and off for a month and the recipe feature is a real winner! So thanks to all who have developed the great list so far.

But having found most of what appeals to me I'm really intersted in adding either FlightGlobal or Aviation Week:

Flight Global aka Flight International

Aviation Week & Space Technology

But so far I have to admit I am not even sure where to start! Has anyone got any draft recipes, or good advice so (in very very slow time) I can have a go?

Thanks,

Do either of them have RSS feeds?

Starson17,

Yes they both have RSS feeds but they look 'different' to what I'm used to - 'tho web, html and so on are not my area of expertise.

Have you tried using the Basic Mode recipe feature?

Starson17,

Looking at the RSS feeds, one has disappeared (Av Week) and the other on Flight Global is a link to list of static pages - so, sorry, the answer to 'Do they have RSS feeds?' should really have been - no.

If that's the case, you need to use parse_index to grab links from a starting page and build a virtual feed.

Hi there - you can find Aviation Week's RSS feeds here: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/myaviationweek.do#rssTab

Just select the channel you're interested in and it will bring up the link to the relevant RSS feed.
