Scientific American Recipe broken

Hi,

the Scientific American Recipe produces an empty feed (but with structure). I would appreciate if somebody could fix it.

Thanks a million,

Mixx

do you have a subscription? did you get this in the past w/o a subscription. has this changed? see http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...-consciousness
is this the full article? or do you need to subscribe to get the full article?

Hello Krittika,

I do not have a subscription. In the past I never had this problem even though I did not have one at that time either. Last time I downloaded a feed must have been some 2 months ago though.

It would be great to have at least the "News&Features" part and, perhaps, Technology.

Thanxx, Mixx

i may be mistaken but from what I can see the site now needs subscription. If you can give me a link to the articles that do not I'll fix the recipe for you.

Hello Krittika,

I just clicked the home page, then News and then one of the news items (as an example) and then the print version

http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...ust&print=true

and get what I want. This might not be the full article but certainly more than plenty information for me.

Thank you for your help,

Ahhh, apparently it is not as easy as that. What seems to happen is that when I click through myself (say using the RSS pages) and land at an article like

http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...tial-footprint

and click the "print" icon, then I seemingly get

http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...int&print=true

and the page is formatted nicely, so that one could take it into the feed. But when I enter

http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...int&print=true

directly into the URL window of the browser I am not getting the same, formatted page at all. It seems that the addition of "&print=true" suffix is not as simple as it seems.

On other web sites this works and this is how I get a number of feeds.

Thanxx, Mixx
