I fixed the Friday Times recipe
I had been using the Friday Times recipe as a template, because it was about the simplest parse_index recipe (that is, a recipe not based on a RSS feed) I could find. However I eventually noticed the recipe itself was broken, and I had to take a break from the other recipe I am working on. So I fixed the Friday Times recipe. Let me know any criticisms or suggestions for the fix.
Code:
from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe
class TheFridayTimes(BasicNewsRecipe):
language = 'en_PK'
encoding = 'utf8'
version = 1.1
title = u'The Friday Times'
category = u'news, Pakistan'
description = u"Pakistan's First Independent Weekly Paper"
no_stylesheets = True
no_javascript = True
ignore_duplicate_articles = {'url'}
keep_only_tags = [
dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'sidebar_content'}),
dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'comment_inner'})
]
remove_tags = [
dict(name='p', attrs={'class':'no-break'}),
dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'related_posts'}),
dict(name='div', attrs={'id':'respond'})
]
def parse_index(self):
toc_page = self.index_to_soup('http://www.thefridaytimes.com/tft/')
toc = toc_page.find('div', attrs={'class':'sidebar_left_home_wrapper'})
articles = []
for story in toc.findAll('a'):
# skip the links with an image, they are repeated further down
if story.find('img') is not None:
continue
url = story['href']
# If no title, use url as title
title = story.get('title', url)
self.log('Found article:', story)
self.log('\t', url)
articles.append({'title':title, 'url':url, 'date':'','description':''})
return [('Current Issue', articles)]

If the [s]articles[/s] comments are not wanted, you can comment out the line
Code:
dict(name='div', attrs={'class':'comment_inner'})
EDIT: Noticed this is an official edit now, thanks. Last edited by ireadtheinternet; 12-24-2014 at 12:46 AM. |
