Economist Recipe - anyone else experiencing problems?

Hi...

I'm unable to fetch the Economist today. The new issue is up & available on their site and I'm logged in.

Here's a snippet from the conversion error:

...

Got the same error message.

Same problem here this morning

kinming · 12-14-2017, 08:09 PM

same problem; any idea who might be able to fix it?
looking forward to the annual double-issue;

I think the Calibre creator, Kovid Goyal, fixed it earlier this year when Economist changed their format... but I reckon he's extremely busy.

Mucho Thanks, Koval! The recipe works great now!

dawog · 12-15-2017, 01:25 AM

Oops! My apologies! I meant "Thank You, Kovid!"

kovidgoyal · 12-15-2017, 02:03 AM

You're welcome

Peekaboo · 12-15-2017, 08:07 AM

Just wanted to add, that like everyone else, I got the same errors last night, but was able to download it this morning without any fix, so I guess another theory might be that they might have been later than usual in putting it online...

Thanks to Kovid nonetheless.

Alas, it's a shame that the same can't be said of 'The Financial Times' recipe which has seen its recipe being AWOL again for months now. Only the news headlines are downloading. It seems that every time someone eventually gets round to updating the FT recipe, it's only a matter of weeks before they modify their data, rendering the recipe outdated and back to square one...

recipe's are updated automatically.

Hello,
Today "The Economics" articles are fetched but we get the message "Join to get 5 free articles per month..." and not the full article, for some of them. I guess they changed their format again ?
Thanks a lot for your work with Calibre, I'm enjoying it every hour I read in English or german

BTW I had also created my own receipe for DW.de / Deutsch XXL articles (to improve my german, as I'm french) some years ago. It still works, but I've never published it. Where should I send it ?

...I've updated Calibre to the last version (I was previously on v. 3.8) and it now works, sorry for the message and the confusion.
You can delete my post, as the most up to date thread is here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=323753
