New recipe voxeu.org - image problem

[bosplans]

I am preparing a new recipe for voxeu.org, an Europeany policy porta.
The recipe so far work properly apart the images in articles fetched are not displayed in the output. Looks like the recipe get the wrong link to the original image (it is a relative link).
Any workaround to fix the problem?

Here the recipe source:

class Vox(BasicNewsRecipe):
    __author__        = 'Voxeu.org'
    description   = 'Policy portal set up by the Centre for Economic Policy Research'

    cover_url      = 'http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6122/6030018218_2a48a07230_z.jpg'
    title          = u'Vox'
    category       = 'Policy, politics, culture, economy, financial, Italian'

    language       = 'en'
    timefmt        = '[%a, %d %b, %Y]'

    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    use_embedded_content  = False
    recursion             = 10
    extra_css      = '.headline {font-size: x-large;} \n .fact { padding-top: 10pt  }'

         
    remove_tags = [
                            dict(name='fieldset', attrs={'class':['fieldgroup group-authors','fieldgroup group-editors-choice']}),
                            dict(name='div', attrs={'class':['print-taxonomy','print-footer','print-source_url','print-links']}),
                           ]

    feeds = [
                  (u'Notizie', u'http://www.voxeu.org/rss.php?q=recent'),
                ]

    def print_version(self, url):
          return url.replace('node', 'print')

Thanks!

Use preprocess_html to set the correct url in the img tags.

Thanks!

If it's a relative link, then just replace the relative link with a full link by modifying the link. There are lots of recipes that do that. Try looking at the adventuregamers recipe. It does it like this when dealing with a relative link:

INDEX = u'http://www.adventuregamers.com'
nexturl = self.INDEX + pager.a['href']

Thank you for the tips.
I figure it out!
