Time zone for The Age recipe
When I first started using this recipe to get The Age onto my Sony PRS-T1, I noticed that often the dates on the downloaded books were wrong by a day. Guessing a bit, I changed this line:
Code:
'date' : strftime('%a, %d %b') Code:
'date' : strftime('%a, %d %b %Z') If not, how would I go about get this fix added to the distributed version? |

Hmm, it seems that all this time I was still running the uncustomised recipe, so my "fix" isn't what fixed it. I wonder what did.

If I schedule a standard recipe to run, then later customise it, will it run the original or the customised version? I can see that recent "The Age" news downloaded using the schedule does contain other minor modifications I made ages ago, so I assume they also contain the time zone fix. But today after I started making further modifications, and click Download All Schedule News, it's using the standard version. How did that happen? |

That line sets the timestamp for individual articles, not the book as a whole. Your issue is likely caused by the timezone not being set correctly on your reader. You can work around it by making sure the download does not happen close to midnight.

I normally download around 5am. Do you mean midnight in my time zone, or midnight GMT? That would be about 10am here, I think, so it's possible I've downloaded after that on weekends at times. |
