Adding a Table of Contents for PRS-650

[daviestown]

Hi, I'm downloading Financial Times articles and would like to have a "Table of Contents" created for the eBook... using the each feed's title as the separate sections.

Here is the code... can you help guide me on how to add this feature?

Thank you so much!

Code:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1293009575(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = 'Financial Times'
description = 'Financial Times'
publisher = 'Financial Times'
oldest_article = 2
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True
use_embedded_content = False
needs_subscription = True
simultaneous_downloads= 5
delay = 0
LOGIN = 'https://registration.ft.com/registration/barrier/login'


def get_browser(self):
br = BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser()
if self.username is not None and self.password is not None:
br.open(self.LOGIN)
br.select_form(name='loginForm')
br['username'] = self.username
br['password'] = self.password
br.submit()
return br

keep_only_tags = [ dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'cont'}) ]
remove_tags_after = dict(name='p', attrs={'class':'copyright'})
remove_tags = [ dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'floating-con'}) ]
remove_tags = [ dict(name='p', attrs={'class':'copyright'}) ]

feeds = [(u'World', u'http://www.ft.com/rss/world')

def preprocess_html(self, soup):
content_type = soup.find('meta', {'http-equiv':'Content-Type'})
if content_type:
content_type['content'] = 'text/html; charset=utf-8'
return soup

table of contents are created automatically as long as you have your output profile set to SONY and use calibre to send the news file to the device.

For some reason, the Table of Contents appears fine when viewing the FT "book" in Calibre but, the same book does not have a ToC when viewing on my PRS-650. It only shows there is a front page.

Is this a coding error?

Thanks for your help!

You mean you're not getting a row of buttons at the button that have next article next section, table of contents in them?


And your output profile is set to a SONY output profile?

I have the sony 650 and Calibre is set up properly but some of mine do not have all the buttons at the bottom. An example is BBC news fast does not but BBC Sport does. I have examined both recipes and the only difference is BBC News fast has the line
#delay = 1
have not checked yet whether removing that will make any difference.
Most of my downloads work properly with all the buttons available but some only have the one button 'Table of Contents'
Not a big deal but if there is a fix I would like to know.
Kudos for Calibre by the way.

I'd guess the difference is between recipes with single level and multi-levels TOCS. Probably the SONY readers can't handle single level TOCs.

Ahhh, I was wondering why "The Guardian" news recipe provides all the buttons at the bottom, while "BBC" only has a TOC button which doesn't work correctly.

This is using a Sony 350.
