Yet another Recipe request..

[sherman]

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone with more expertise than me could create a recipe for http://www.stuff.co.nz/, with emphasis on the Top Stories, National and World news, Sport, tech, and the Manawatu Standard local news feeds?

I have tried creating a basic recipe (which works) but is badly formatted for the reader and I had trouble following the tutorial - mainly to get the print versions of the articles.

So if anyone can please help, it would be much appreciated!

Here is the recipe with just one feed, you can add the rest you prefer.

#!/usr/bin/env  python

__license__   = 'GPL v3'
__copyright__ = '2008, Darko Miletic <darko.miletic at gmail.com>'
'''
stuff.co.nz
'''

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class Stuff(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title                 = u'Stuff NZ'
    __author__            = u'Darko Miletic'
    description           = u'news from New Zealand'    
    oldest_article        = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 100
    delay                  = 1
    simultaneous_downloads = 1 
    no_stylesheets        = True
    use_embedded_content  = False

    feeds          = [  
                       (u'Top Stories', u'http://www.stuff.co.nz/feeds/topstories.xml')
                     ]

    def print_version(self, url):
        main, sep, rest = url.partition('?')
        return main.replace('http://www.stuff.co.nz/','http://www.stuff.co.nz/print/')

Thank you so much!

That worked a treat.

And outputting to ePub even gives me multi level TOC in the menu system

Thank you Kovid for such an awesome feature in such wonderful software.

I wasn't aware of a difference for ePub and LRF output for feeds... more features for LRF please Kovid!

the lack multi-level toc is one of the many restrictions the LRF format suffers from. Note that these are restrictions in the format itself. Nothing I can do about it.
