Modifying different feeds in one recipe

[rjchew]

Hello, I've just bought a Kindle 3, and am really enjoying using it with calibre to read news and things. I have been trying to create a news source that combines the various blogs I like to read, and email it to my Kindle. I have managed to do this with the following recipe:

Spoiler:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1312376781(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Blogs'
oldest_article = 1
max_articles_per_feed = 200

feeds = [
(u"Guy Fawkes' blog", u'http://feeds2.feedburner.com/guidofawkes'),
(u'Comment is Free', u'http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/all/rss'),
(u'Political Betting', u'http://politicalbetting.com/index.php/feed/')
]

However, I want to add some more feeds to this recipe, but they need modification to be readable. For example, the Spectator blog works this code:

Spoiler:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1312371137(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = u'Spectator Coffee House'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = True
extra_css = '.headline {font-size: x-large;} \n .fact { padding-top: 10pt }'
keep_only_tags = [
dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'text'})]

feeds = [(u'Coffee House', u'http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/index.txml')]

Is there anyway I can modify different feeds within the same recipe? So I can make the 'keep_only_tags' for the Spectator blog not affect the other feeds?


I hope this makes sense! I'd be really grateful for any help anyone could offer,
Cheers

It's my understanding that 'keep_only_tags' is applied at a very early processing stage, so you can't make them apply to only one feed. However, you can process the feeds separately with Beautiful Soup and use extract() to keep the tags of interest. Another option would be to remove the tags not of interest. If you define the tags to be removed carefully, you may be able to leave the tags you want in multiple feeds.
